Things are heating up now, Sydney was comsiderably warmer than Melbourne, even though it is not that much further north. It took about 12 hours by bus, but that is really nothing in this crazy country where everything is the size of a smaller country, whether it is the distance between two major towns or the size of a steak (could be a really small country we're talking about here) Anyways... Sydney is freaking cool, wasn't planning on staying here for too long,...

Last day in Melbourne today and I'm actually getting nervous for the first time since I left Kiruna. Dunno what it is, but I haven't been the least bit nervous the last couple of weeks, but now, as I leave Craig and Lisa, it's starting to really drop on me that I'm in the other end of the world and don't have the slightest idea what I'm doing xD And it's fun!

That means travelling home in that particular b...

Really great guys, but then again, all aussies seems to be. Stopped for breakfast at McD and continued ...

Oh man, today was just awesome. Went out on a day long tour around Philip Island (a tiny island, located just about 90 min drive from Melbourne) where there is an apparently world famous parade, occuring every single nightfall. The penguin parade. So every evening, just when the sun sets, hundreds of penguins come swimming ashore to go to sleep. Even though they can sleep on their backs, floating in the ocean, they prefer to come home for the safety of a hole in...
