My Trips

The 3 day trip we had last week along the great ocean road was just so amazing! We saw some beutiful beaches, the twelve apostles, and had some great views over the coastline. We saw koalas and kangaroos in the wild, and did a 2 hours hiking up a mountain to get such a sceenic vies on the top (It was raining and we were all soaked, but we were still in a good mood and had lots of fun together!). One of the best things we did was when we went up at 6am on tuesday morgning to go quad biking! It was tuns of fun to drive around in the Australian wilderness, and we saw a lot of kangaroos as well. We had some great days together and we really enjoyed the trip. As always we took hundreads of pictures, so I have a lot to show you when I get home!

Now I have been working a lot, but this coming week there is a lot going on: On tuesday we're gonna have a roadtrip to Philip Island to see the "penguin parade", and also visit some beaches on the way there. On wednesday we're going to the Tennis Open, and on thursday my dad will be here!

Alice and I was up early in the morning today, and went out to run arond the botanic garden, a 4 km run. It felt so good afterwards, and again, it was the perfect way to start the day. And we had breakfast on the balcony together before she went to work. An hour later I woke up Yazzmine, and after another hour we went in to the city together. There we went to the Cathedral to have a look in there, before we took a tram out to a small café in the suburb. It was such a cute café, and we enjoyed a cake and a cappucino for about 2 hours, just talking about everything and nothing. It was so nice to spend some time with Yazzmine, just the two of us. When she had to go to work, I met up Carl and Alexander, and we walked around in the city. First a walk in Chinatown, and then enjoyed a free latte at Alice restaurant. Then we went to the Yarra River for a picnic. They had some sushi and I had my glutenfree sanwiches with tomato and mushrooms. And some chocolate with hazelnuts I had over from the day before. After our picnic we continued our city walk, and went to the casino. Carl played a few dollars at the slot mashines, and 10 minutes later we walked out with a dollar more than we walked in with. Then we walked along the Yarra River, all the way into the Royal Botanic Garden, where we relaxed on the grass in the sunlight. Now we're back home again, waiting for the others to get back home. We're gonna have an relaxing night home tonight, have dinner together and maybee watch some movies.

Good times in Melbourne.

What a day! Isabelle and I started the day with a walk in the Botanic Garden, and then a big breakfast on the balcony. Perfect start of the day! An hour later Yazzmine, Gaby, Andres and I played tennis all together in the sunshine. Loved it. Then home for a shower, and then out again. This time to Fitzroy Gardens in the city. We relaxed in the sun and just enjoyed life. Then we met up Alex and Carl, Alice´s friends who are gonna stay with us for a couple of days. After a quick dinner at home we went over to the Botanic Garden for an outdoor movie! Such a nice way to spend the night!

Perfect day! And the best thing is.. I'm not working until thursday night, so I have another day off tomorrow! Love the life in Melbourne.

Finally, I had a day off! The first one in 10 days. We spend the whole day at Brighton Beach, just chilling and relaxing in the sun. We loved the beach. It was a row of small beach houses all in different colors, so of course we took over houndreds of pictures. After several hours in the sun, we took the train back home. An hour later we had baught some food for our BBQ, and we walked over to Albert Park. We had a really nice night together, grilled vegetables like corn, tomatoes, squach and onions. Soo good! Perfect day with my roomies. And if it wasn't enough with 6 people living in a 3-room appartment, we'll get 2 more tomorrow! 2 guys that Alice got to know when she lived in Norway is coming to Melbourne for a few days. So now we will be 8 people here at home..!

And next week on Sunday, we're gonna go on a 3-day trip along Great Ocean Road! We all got some days of and now we're all super excited! We're gonna go with a tourist group (haha), and they are gonna take us to the 12 apostles and hiking up a mountain and see coalas and camping. Everything is included. Perfect. We dont have to think about anything, just take pictures of all the animals and everything that we are gonna see. 6 days left, and then we're on the trip!

Happy New Year!

To celebrate New Years Eve we went to a restaurant in Port Victoria, and after arrived an hour late bc of the traffic we had a great 4 course dinner, with champange and drinks. At midnight we were standing with the umbrella (Uuuummbrealla. The name of the game is uuuuuummbrella...!! Haha, inside joke.) in one hand and a glass of champange in the other one, watching the fireworks in the rain.

So much have happened since last new years eve. Then I was in a freezing cold Minneapolis and celebrated with the other girls over there. And now here, a year later on the other side of the world in summer Australia. I just spend 2 weeeks at home last year, this year I'm gonna spend more! But this year have been so amazing. I've got to know so many friends and the summer I spend in Minneapolis was just the best ever. And the trip I'm on right now is also something so special. 2009 was a great year, now I'm looing forward to see whats gonna happen 2010!
