Sydney

Sydney was only a short stop as originally we were not going to venture in with our ancient van, completely unsuitable for city driving. But our video camera is broken and apparently the only place it can be fixed is in Sydney. So after a couple of hours circling around North Ryde alternating between staring into the map, checking the GPS and yelling at each other we finally found a campsite. The camera wasn’t much success though. As it is nothing serious we thought we will drop it off and pick it up the next day but apparently it takes about 2-3 weeks for someone to look at it. If anyone owns a Canon camera, do pray that it won’t break as their repair service was dismal at best. In the end the guy suggested to just sticky tape it for the time being and fix it later. Well seeing that just few minutes he mentioned that even a microscopic bit of dirt can dismiss your warranty claims I am not sure how they would look at sticky tape around the lens. In the evening we caught up with our dear Rohan and made him listen to our stories for the whole evening. The next morning we were off to Blue Mountains.

Sydney byla jen kratka zastavka. Puvodne jsme ji planovali vynechat, nebot nase staricke auticko neni idealne na jizdu po meste, nicmene se nam porouchala videokamera a udajne jediny misto, kde ji muzou spravit, je Sydney. Tudiz po nekolika hodinach krouzeni po okrajovych ctvrtich, lustenim map, ziranim na GPSku a hlasite vymene nazoru jsme konecne dorazili do kempu. Bohuzel v opravne jsme moc nepochodili. Vzhledem k tomu, ze to neni vazna zavada, jsme predpokladali, ze si kameru vyzvednem nejpozdeji dalsi den. Udajne to trva 2-3 tydny nez se k tomu nekdo dostane. Chlapik u prepazky nam nakonec poradil, ze to muzem prelepit izolepou a spravit pozdeji. Coz nam navrhl par minut pote, co nas varoval, ze i mikroskopicke zrnicko pisku nam muze zrusit zaruku. Nevim, jak by vzali cocku polepenou izolepou. Vecer jsme stravili s kamaradem a dalsi den vyrazili smerem Blue Mountains.
