Duffle Bag Fred Perry

Fraser Island


Zurueck von der Insel... mit 3 Tagen und 2 Naechten auf Fraser Island, einer der groessten Sand islands in the world, is another highlight of Oz behind me. It was exciting! We had booked a self drive tour, which means that no tour guide will be there and you can drive even the most powerful 4WD truck. I naturally wanted to try out again and have me as a driver registered. A little uneasy I became, as it turned out that I do not even superseding just one of many fahrwuetigen men, but alongside Helen (Ireland) would be the only driver ... ups! What I do not know beforehand that you have the four wheel drive not only the normal circuit, but also must decide on a second if you want to drive in H2, H4 or L4 ... and all at the beach! This sounds very romantic, but some really hard work if you open with white powder sand moves and then another 8 people in the camping equipment and a complete car has. Stuck and pushing heard to say on the whole island to the agenda, thanks to the nice Australians giant sunken in the sand truck was also twice redeems by tow rope ...

addition to driving and the scenic highlights for me especially I could inspire Toilettengaenge. As more and came up with joy because we have camped in the wild (yes, three days without a shower, or for Nina: by fat;)) and there are dingoes on the island, one can never be alone somewhere. And so it was said to always pick a mate and bring the shovel. Then dug deep and 50cm los gehts... open air unterm atemberaubenden Sternenhimmel. Etwas skurril, aber man gewoehnt sich ja an alles... fast alles zumindest, denn Sand in Kleidung, Haaren, Essen, und ueberall sonst auch zaehlt definitiv zu den Nachteilen einer Sandinsel.

Farm Lessons 15 To Red

Town of 1770

Zum ersten Mal waehrend dieser Reise haben Renske und ich mal mehr geplant als nur den naechsten Zwischenstopp und schon bereue ich es... Da wir keinen Lift in Airlie Beach gefunden haben sind wir ueber Nacht mit dem Bus nach Town of 1770 gefahren. Leider wussten wir not think you can do this incredibly many great things and have only one day scheduled. Normally we would simply have stayed longer, but we have already booked our self-drive 4WD tour on Fraser Iceland. This is determined also great, but 1770 is now on my "places-to-the-next-I-see-must-visit Australia" list, because we had to give up some activities. What we learn from this? Planning sucks!
Today we then made an almost four-hour chopper tour including the sunset on the water. Driver's license? Need not satisfy bike skills:) Was it not all that difficult, as it were automatic machines and so I just had great fun out of 80 cases to head off on so nem Mini-motorcycle through the area. And of course there were a few other backpackers here, it finally belonged to one of those rattling caravan to one would usually only after I watch. Surprise!

Why Do I Get Abdominal Cramps When I Do Sit Up

Whitsunday Islands

I was sailing ch! Three days and two nights I spent with 13 backpackers and 2 Staff-boys on the Southern Cross . At first it is somewhat unusual to spend day and night in a small room with (initially) foreign and (later) without a shower people, but a short time later, it is simply just pure fun! The sailing itself was already great, but incidentally gabs so even more. So we have not only whales, rays and sea turtles seen, but visited the incredible white Whitehaven Beach with the incredible turquoise-blue water. My personal highlight, however, were the two snorkeling trips. Sam and Josh could have led us to great places of the Great Barrier Reef, where we will swim amidst hundreds of colorful fish and beautiful coral and great diving. (I leave a few digital pictures sent by mail so that you can see what I mean.) Anyway, I'm simply amazed and overcome a phobia here after the next, because it is simply wonderful! I watch you on the best of the photos that say more than before my euphoric "it was great It was great, ... etc. "and of course it took forever until I went for a small selection of my pictures from flood and so now I watch your back and someone is doing and excited;)
