Melbourne, Wilsons Promontory, Bells Beach
In Melbourne I have been my best time in Australia spent ..
explains why what I was 2 months there ..
or were there three months ..
well ...
We celebrated Christmas and New Year's especially a lot ...
(mine and a few other birthdays were celebrated course)
It was nice, cozy celebrations,
with people you know now ..
Nice, interesting lußtige People all over the world ..
(mostly German, of course ...)
Otherwise, we had
... Every Wednesday Karaoke our day in a small, cozy bar ...
... Every Saturday, the legendary Lords Lodge BBQ with the best punch we have ever tasted!
(by "we" I mean really all live in the hostel)
... on other days lots of fun beach in city or Hostel
(fun with a shopping cart)
(Hab plays drums on the road .. :-)
(shadow at War Memorial)
(Open air cinema the botanical gardens)
will of course have the hostel residents contributed most to the well-being
and join out rather than someone who was a friend of the money only one! was
addition to the life in the hostel there the working life ...
We have an average of 3 times a week for the
hierrum
famous brand clothing manufacturers,
Billabong, Jettysurf, General Pants, etc. worked
...
(Christmas Lunch)
We will ensure that Australia wide
the shops where the stuff is sold
get what they order every day ...
More specifically, we run with small hand-held laser scanners
by the interim storage of the companies
or stand where the ordered items are sorted at long tables
...
us pick out the things which are ordered
and packed into boxes ...
The interesting and incomprehensible thing is
that we
as T-shirts or hats or handbags
from her neat, folded
and take out often even from their packing
and easy
(usually without any Covers unfolded and)
hug purely in boxes ...
(this goes fast)
The look, the clothes in the shops and accordingly, we
have them at some point in the city
confident and honest,
when people buy the stuff anyway
why would you do it otherwise?
As fate would have it
I later worked not only as
"Pick and Packer,
but also as a machine operator ...
at first sounds great, but it is not really
:-) The only machine in the operating
is namely a brand-new
compactor :-)
Fortunately, the only the garbage accumulates
be in the form of empty cardboard boxes
the thrown in the press and compressed
....
Well ... Twice I've
incidentally, can get hold of a little side job ...
First, I have handed out at a private party
finger food and drinks
(and strong even eaten and drunk)
Second, I have to just before New Year's Eve as
"noodles-in-cardboard box Male" worked
what made fun and saturated!
without substantive consideration I have from time to time what made the hostel ...
example, two tables a bit repaired ..
(only so that one's food no longer slipped on her lap)
or I once got a road ants in the kitchen cooking away to make a little more comfortable ...
Then it's also been in the hostel so you have bought something from time to schonmal to share it ...
eg cake or apricot yogurt or M & Ms :-)
carry also bring things to an atmosphere at
that you miss when you pull on ...
until she finds somewhere else!
addition to the many life experiences I have learned
new skills :-)
I can handle a bit of poi ...
Had me some handicrafts,
after I had tried out the toys for the first time ...
something I can cook better and cook :-)
(Cook probably know this for pals with)
I can from waste residues during working
make Christmas tree ...
I can play croquet ...
Kantigkugelige useless things from paper, do ...
Without Stress drive car in Australia ...
Better English
...
and more!
Outside the city
we have, for example at Bells Beach or in Wilson's Promontory spent a few fun days ...
surfing
We (Funny men of the best hostel in Australia and I)
were now twice surfing at Bells Beach ...
where scenes have been turned from "Point Break" (Point Break)
with Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze ...
(However, it was because a storm of the century we grad did not)
Both times we had the beach and the sea to ourselves, so we dare not surf school surfing have to learn what works quite well and makes a lot of fun!
(I) had
(Stephanie)
(Garreth)
(Ellen)
We sometimes several meters high waves. ..
(So high waves I've ever seen before in Freiher wild)
After surfing, we have rewarded our new Surf Trunk
pizzeria with delicious food!
(After the first surfing with Ben, John, Garreth and Stephanie)
(After the second surfing with Garreth, Stephanie, Ellen and Michael)
We had mostly after 3 hours of surfing despite
cloudy
all a violent sunburn
(and I am again cold)
__________________________________
are to the beautiful, 250 kilometers away Wilsons Promontory
we (John, a Frenchman from the hostel and 3 girls from work)
with a relatively new, sporty, 333 hp strong
Ford Falcon XR6 "flown"
(I had the privilege to manage him all the time)
have on site, we know that unfortunately we do not
the "Wil Prom "purely
could because all campsites were occupied ...
So we have the rest of the first day we spent looking at the beautiful surroundings, and to find a free or cheap camping ...
have since there was no reasonable accommodation, we decided on a Lookout platform to enjoy the magnificent sunset while eating our dinner ...
(Probably the best decision ever)
... and then sleep in the car
(What would have been very uncomfortable ...)
how should it otherwise have come to the Lookout at several Australian families are encountered that just spent their holidays together in their own beach house ...
you have after a quarter-hour standard Smalltalk
(Where are you from, what do you do you like it)
asked where we would actually ...
we have responded with some hesitation in our car ...
Well they
(what else would you expect in Australia)
immediately said "Hey, we do it normally not, it says no .. but we have over there, a cottage with a large meadow .. because it can build your tents "
Have we not knocked off course ...
However, it should be even better ..
us have been invited to the evening BBQ!
So we not only get a free night but even to eat something warm and something to drink and plenty of good entertainment!
We played seltsamme but fun family games
, and far too late but happy in the tent gone
to morgends in the early jet to return to Wil Prom us to a campsite to ensure ...
Also has everything worked out perfectly that fate has brought us not only beautiful but also experiences of good weather ... which led in turn to me for the first really violent sunburn .. man man ...
while we have been almost exclusively in the forest or water :-)
were bad at Wil Prom really only the various
piercing, blood-sucking flies and painful, and mosquitoes ...
Damn .. when the sun goes down we had a million mosquitoes buzzing around and hang on to something I've never seen ..
there were so many that her light was buzzing so loud that they had no entertainment at room volume can lead!
We were still visible in the evening to a viewpoint down
to like the view just after sunset so ...
and ..
I forgot to take a photo of my hand ..
but believe me it sat alone on my hand
50 determines mosquitoes!
(You see, I was very impressed, I dedicate the thing a lot of text)
tags have we had many happy hours in the sea, beach, into the woods and on other trails By mountains and valleys ...
Incredibly, we have seen no other animals for that would have been interesting ...
(other than a echidnas and a possum)
No kangaroo, emu, wombat or koala ....
night were but a few animals in the campground but could not because of the mosquitoes even leave the tent ...
The return trip was was a bit of a race against time
was we had not looked at a beach far away from the route of
and had a beautiful name (Venus Bay)
but far too touristy to be beautiful!
was so unnecessary and caused
added that in Melbourne exactly 5 minutes before the rental car would have arrived are closed ...
otherwise we would have to keep it for two more days and pay
(Because of the Australia Day, a holiday celebrated in Australia from year to year, something larger ...)
What happened on the way back even worth mentioning, nice
( Apart from the beautiful landscape we had so enjoyed on the way already)
was a lunch in Australia typical fish and chip
bude There I namely through skilful talk with the stall holders part of interest paid and the other get even cheaper!
And it tasted very good!
The day before I left Melbourne ,
I've yet seen all the attractions, for which I previously
had not found the time ...
and the places I wanted to see again ... The Beautiful Botanical Gardens
The Free Casino Fire Show
A free museum and also a free gallery on "moving images"
The cute little penguins on St.Kilda
Melbourne from the top (of the non-free Rialto Tower)
Melbourne at night
to leave, I have a Lebkuchenzugbausatz from Aldi ...
a gingerbread - lord lodge hostel crafted
and Pat (To join out) given
Pat was happy like a little boy with a Pocket knife
and after a short series of photos ...
which he has applied to the Internet (Facebook) ...
he has to share to eat immediately go out the house
and with the many hostel dwellers
who then was also pleased about it :-)
What made me happy again! So
Melbourne .. I will miss it!
