Melbourne, Australia

We sold the van! :) Will miss it though :(

Woke up to a dry day and after talking to a local Chris realised that we might not have enough fuel to make it to the next fuel stop and was told to go and ask nicely at the local shop. He did and the guy gave us 5L for the tidy price of $2 per litre. Better than running out, but after 2...

Neighbours...everybody needs good neighbours!!

We spent the run up to Christmas back with the Robsons, who live in Hampton - nice suburb by the beach in Melbs, where apparently lots of celbs, like Eric Bana and Shane Warne reside! Well probably not anymore for Warney.... This was our time to mooch around after our fast paced few months of...

'This is the road to noooowhere!!'

Touching down in 'the land down under' we were super excited and were met by our surrogate family for the christmas period, the Robsons. (Ted, Nanette, Claire and Luke, old friends of Letty's). It was so nice to be in a proper house, even though Coops was on the broken camp bed on the floor, it...

Zurueck nach Melbourne

In Melbourne verbrachte ich noch einmal 5 Tage um ausserdem den Geburstag von Thaao zu erleben. Ich buchte also meinen Flug nach Perth (von wo aus ich grad schreibe) und machte mir eine erneute Couch klar. Der Zeitunterschied von Deutschland nach Perth ist lediglich 6 Stunden. Ich war...

Melbourne

We verblijven een aantal dagen in Melbourne. In deze dagen is het ook Australia day. Het is een soort Koninginnedag van Australië. Er zijn veel evenementen en optochten. Het leukst was een band die op straat stond te spelen naast het treinstation bij de Federation square. Er stond een enorme...

D'aan S'aaf

The north face

It was like our first day of school as we anxiously stepped on to the big, orange bus waiting for us outside our hostel. With names ticked off and bags loaded underneath we set off on what felt even more like a school trip than we had imagined, when we had scheduled toilet and lunch breaks and...
