2 days Kangaroo Island

Day 1

I had to be at the Adelaide Central Bus Station at 6:15 am, so I got up at 5:30 am. Luckily the lady from reception had picked the right bed for me so nobody tried sharing it 😉

At the bus station I checked-in and got my bus+ferry ticket, then had to wait for the bus a little. It was a 2 hours drive from Adelaide to Cape Jervis. On the way the driver told us some things about the region we were passing through. Of course we saw more kangaroos here and there.

At the ferry terminal I took my luggage from the bus and put it in the luggage van, then went onto the ferry. I had a little breakfast and spent moste the time on the top deck in the wind + sun.

3 days Melbourne to Adelaide

Day 1

The bus picked us up right on time about 6.30 am. The first stop was at the Surf shops in Torquay. The sun was hidden behind grey clouds, so it was not very pleasant. Then we stopped at Bells Beach, which I did not find very impressive compared to the Sorrento Back Beach where Meg had taken me 3 weeks ago.
Then we hit the Great Ocean Road – a more than lovely region! And since the sun had come out it looked very pleasant 🙂
At one of the stops we saw wild Koalas 🙂

Year abroad: 75% complete

That’s right, 9 months are already over, only 3 more to go!

2 months are left for Australia, the last one is reserved for New Zealand.

It’s basically a 3 months adventure holiday from now on, with a short break in Melbourne between AU and NZ. 😀

Flying Trapeze

On the first Sunday this February a few people from the dance studio and I went to the Flying Trapeze Centre in Blackburn.

In a 2 hour class we learned to swing, do a leg-hang, a backwards somersault down and a handover. It was great fun, have a look at these videos!
