Bye Australia, my travels are over!

I can't believe that I finally leave Australia after more than 9 month of traveling. Time went by so quick! I had a beautiful time here and met loads of nice people, but you're the ones that made my

time amazing! Thank you ❤️ 

Now I'm looking forward to my friends and family back home! I can't wait to see you guys!❤️❤️❤️

Today.

Pemberton

I visited my friends from Melbourne down south in Pemberton last week. It's ridiculous, it took me 5,5 and 8hrs to Pemberton and back to Perth by bus and train and you need about 3! by car :) But it was worth it to see them again.

Climbing the 53m high pemberton gloucester tree without any safetygear.

The house in the middle of the forest. Autumn had definetly arrived here - it was freezing cold! And often reminded me a lot of Meerhof.

How do I spend my time here?

Well you saw already what we did the last two weekends and we went up to green head this weekend again.

The first few days in Perth were mainly about trying to fix my camera, so I went to several shops and camera technicians, but unfortunately without success.

The next day Maika came back to Perth and we spent the day here in Freo and as Perth seems to be the new Melbourne Kimiya, Andre and Max came over the next day and we spent the day together in the city.

They left the next day to Pemberton, but Maika stayed in Perth for a little longer.

I started the last week with pretty much doing nothing really the first two days, but time still went by pretty fast and on thursday I took some pictures for Bioworks ( Andrews sisters and brother in laws company, they make biodiesel out of old cooking oil) for a government brochure, even if I am not too sure If I was the right person for this job..

And fortunatly Peta and Andrew also don't work all the time 

Friday was Anzac-day, public holiday, so we went up to Green Head

again. And a lot of yummy fresh caught 

Unfortunately autumn is coming, so it's slowly getting rainy and colder and the weather this weekend wasn't as nice as last weekend, but Green Head was still beautiful and it didn't rained all the time.

And now I am in Pemberton, where Maika, Kimiya, Andre and Max live now.

Skydive - crazy&amazing!

We jumped out of a fuckin' plane - I still can't belive it, but we did! I was actully more scared before we entered the plane than in the air, cause then I just thought that IT'S A JOKE THAT WE SHOULD JUMP OUT OF HERE, I'LL NEVER EVER DO THAT and when we finally reached the 14000ft everything was so quick that we didn't really had time to panic.

And once we were out it was just great. I just can't describe the feeling! It's awesome, great, crazy, amazing?!

For me it was a lot better than I expected it to be, but also a lot quicker, the one minute freefall felt like 5 seconds and the paragliding like 2 minutes ( but I guess it was more).

It just hurt a lot in my ears, but it was so cool and we could even steer for a while.

And look how amazing the landscape is!!!

They haven't uploaaded the video yet, but I'll send you the link. 

Ps: I added text to the Greenhead post.

Easter in Green Head

GreenheadFirst of all: I am so happy that I took a flight and didn't wait for the train one week later, cause this Easter was just lovely and I would be very sad to have missed it (well than I wouldn't know what I missed but anyway).

As you probably read already, we spent easter in Greenhead where Andrew's parents and sister have got holiday homes. And you maybe recognised the Hiams from the Goldcoast? So cool that they were over here, too! 

Easter seems a lot different here than back home, more like Christmas is for us, loads of delicious food and spending time with the family ah and a looot of decorations. That sounds more like Christmas back home, doesn't it? 

As we were right next to the beach we did a lot of searelated stuff, bonfire on the beach with Els and her friends, Josh, Els and I tried crabbing (without success), walking on the beach, we went out on the boat and I swam with seals, Andrew and Craig went kiteboarding and fishing... Ah and we ate a lot of seafood :)

 Ah yes and Els and I did a skydive on Monday..
