From Hobart to Mexico City!

We left Hobart on a thursday night, flew to Sydney, where my bigbrothersbestfriendfromchildhood, Hakon, picked us up from the airport, took us home and let us sleep on his couch. The Friday after, we spent seeing Sydney, alltogether we spent 20 hours in Sydney, not bad, or very bad, depends how you see things! We had enough time to see the Operahouse, The Rocks and the Bridge and also the botanical gardens and some other stuff, so it was good:) Then Hakon drove us back to the airport, where we spent 1 hour in line to check in, then found out the states has changed their rules again, so we needed an adress on where we were going to stay in Hawaii, in order to get to check in. That got very stressfull, with shouting airhostesses and an internet that didn´t work and all, but 5 minutes before they closed the check in, we had found an adress(was not the right one, but never mind) and we ran threw immigration and customs and to the gate, and made it! PUH!! Still, didn´t sleep at all that well on the plane, and we were really tired when we got to Hawaii in the morning, to have another Friday(we crossed the dateline, so we have had 2 Friday the 30th January 2009, beat that!!), and spent most of the day in different cafes, waiting for our host to pick us up after work. Turns out he worked for the army and lived just outside Pearl Harbor!
Saturday we went to the beach, with a lot of family of the host, cousins and uncles and wifes and babys and all, and Kristoffer learned the basics in surfing! He has still got sore muscles, hehe!After the beachlife, our host took us to a big big market, and after that he showed us Pearl Harbor(mostly closed, unless you pay a lot to be on a tour for tourists..) and we saw the biggest warships in the world and a lot of strange stuff, I dont know, I am not that into war, but I could see that it was big guns and stuff.. Hehe! Cool place to have seen, since not that many people get to see it!
On Sunday we spent the day with Charlotte, a girl I used to work with in Oppegaard, she is studying English in Hawaii, and lives almost on Waikiki Beach, the most famous beach in Honolulu. She showed us her Hawaii, and we had a great time! Thanks a lot for taking care of us, Charlotte!!:)
Then we flew from Honolulu to San Fransisco on Sunday night, with timedifferences and all it took 5 hours and we landed in San Fransisco 05 in the morning, took a train to town(went to the worng place first, turns out there is two Richmonds in San Fransisco, both with a bridge..) so when we at last got to the right place, to see The Golden Gate Bridge, you know, the one you see in all the movies, the red one, we had to jog/run 3 km(and the streets of San Fransisco is mainly up and down, and I mean crazy hilly!!) to get to a place where we could see the bridge! And then we took an old tram through the streets back to the train and got to the airport just in time to eat breakfast and go through customs and then fly to Mexico City. That took 5 hours too, and I cant remember a thing, I was too tired to do anything, I slept through it all!
We landed in Mexico City last night, and found the metro and found the way to our host here, and it turned out we were going to share a floor in an apartment with 16 people! The planned taking care of the jetlag didnt happen, to be honest, but it was only nice people so it is ok. Today I have been so tired, so I am really not enjoying Mexico yet, but give me some sleep and a coffee and I will be fine! Hopefully we can get some more sleep tonight!:)
No, time for lunch! Have a good one back home!
