6:23 pm After about 14h of flight we have made it to Abu Dhabi, only 9 more hours and we will be in Venice.
The flight was calm for most of the way, expect over India there was quite a lot of turbulence for an hour or two. We had great luck with seats and got the seats at the emergency exit with like 2 meters of leg room. Despite all it’s still uncomfortable to sleep in small seats with lots of noise for 12 hours. Oh well we will soon be home.

5:53 am 5:48 pm We survived the long 15h bus drive from Gold Coast to the Sydney yesterday. We arrived to Sydney little before 8 am and had hours to spend till 3pm when we had check in in a hotel in the city. We chose the hotel in the city because we have something planned for tomorrow and we need to be in the city center before 7am.
In the morning we explored city center on foot a bit more, went to see the big market/mall house and after reading much recommendations decided to go to lunch on fish market. Spoiler alert it was crap and not worth either the time nor money.
In the afternoon we met with Veronika’s relatives who brought us luggage we left in their house for our backpacking tour of the north. After that we took a quick nap. Despite sleeping quite a lot during our drive in the night we were still very tired, I guess bus chairs and tons of interruptions due to stops don’t make for a good sleeping conditions.
In the evening we went for a long walk to the botanical gardens and saw opera and harbour bridge again. Today is our last night in Australia during this trip. We are quite sad it had ended already, but frankly don’t have much time to think about it since we are rushing to prepare our suitcases for tomorrow when at 3PM we will leave Australia.

5:44 am 5:39 pm Today we woke up before 6am in order to prepare for departure from Queensland back to Sydney. Just before we left our hotel room we sadly got the message that our flight to Sydney was cancelled due to weather conditions. After unsuccessfully trying to contact our flight operator we had no other choice but to go to the airport and sort it out.
At the airport it was even bigger mess, lots of people wot the same problems. All airlines had canceled flights to Sydney, next available flight was only on Sunday morning, which is way to late because we have to catch our flight back to Europe then.
We tried to rent a car but the price was over 500€, since we would have to leave the car in Sydney.
After literary hours of search we found a bus for “only” 100€ that will drive for more than 16 hours. But at least we will reach Sydney by tomorrow morning.
What a shame, due to this delay, we lost 2 days in Sydney and will in total do more than 3000km with a bus. 🙁

5:51 am 5:39 pm So after about 12 days of backpacking through hostels, boats and wilderness we have finally arrived to Brisbane. The last big city of the east coast.
In the last week we have spent hunting for dingos on a deserted island about quarter of Slovenia in size. There are no roads on the island so we spent most of the time traversing on a 4x4s, one of which I was lucky enough to drive.
We actually were lucky enough to see couple of wild dingos, not nearly as many as the guides made us believe we will encounter beforehand. It still impressive we saw some, its like running into wild wolves in Slovenia.
Now we have two cool things planned for tomorrow and Tuesday in Brisbane and on Wednesday we move to the Gold coast for two days before returning back to Sydney. Sadly our trip is coming to an end.
