not many people know the story to that pic 😉
287 Sydney workday 3.5.2019 – no photos
Today, I wanted to meet Efan to take a look at her bike, but it was raining heavily for hours, so I continued working and writing messages with the exception of a short walk in early evening to bring Doron’s postcards to the post-office. At least I could finish some things!
288 Sydney weekend 4.5.2019
M&M went for Yoga in the morning, and after that we had breakfast outside and went to the carriageworks farmers market, were you can get (organic) food of the region, but “region” is something also 400km away…
We completed our shopping at Harris, the supermarket specialized on regional fruits and vegetables and went home.
In the later afternoon, we had an early dinner and packed the camping stuff in the car to go to the blue mountains for star gazing. But when we were bout to leave, Markus saw that again a tyre was flat!
He changed the wheel and only 20min later than planned, we could pick up Efan, who had brought up the idea of meteor shower gazing. We went to the Perrys Lookdown Campground (End of Govetts Leap Road, Blackheath NSW 2785) that was pretty occupied, but we found a space for the tent and the car. Martina cooked a mulled wine to warm up, because at night at 1000m height in Mai it has 8-10°C.
the flame gave us a little heat

I guess I wanted to take a pic of the tent…
We went “to bed” to wait for 3a.m. when there should be the most shooting stars to see. Efan and I talked for a while and late at night a group of students came and started a late-night dinner. They didn’t care too much for all those people sleeping in tents and cars and were very loud. We got up, went to the Dockers Lookout and pointed our noses towards the sky. It was cold and sometimes the wind blew but we stayed there until 4-something.

you can see how cold it was… 
A bit freezing, we slept a few hours and then went to Blackheath for breakfast. In the later morning we made shorter walks around Katoomba, to the “3 sisters” and to the Wentworth falls before we went back to Sydney.

Markus made a great dinner with Kangaroo meat and vegetables from the carriageworks farmers market and as a dessert we had a poppy seed cake.
