Grampians National Park
February 15, 2018 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
We left our accommodation and continued down the great ocean road. First stop was London Bridge. A massive arch in the sandstone. The main arch broke a few years ago and people had to be rescued by helicopter.
Next up was The Grotto, a really cool window in the rock. It sort shows how the cliff is broken down by the weather.
We continued on to the Bay of Islands. Not as cool as those in New Zealand, but still a beautiful sight.
From here, we left the great ocean road and went to Tower Hill, here we saw more koalas, and our first Emus and grey kangaroos. Then we did a hike around one of the craters as it's a former volcano.
We then had a two hour drive to Grampians national park where we went to Halls Gap, from hear we drove to a parking spot where we did a hike to a lookout called the pinnacle. On the way through the Grampians we saw an Echidna by the road, the hedgehog of the marsupials.
When we came back to Halls Gap, the city had been invaded by grey kangaroos and they are almost tame, which to me seems so strange.Read more

Great Ocean Road
February 14, 2018 in Australia ⋅ 🌧 17 °C
Today we left Melbourne and drove to the great ocean road. We had a photo stop at the gate, and then kept driving enjoying the view.
We stopped at a café, here I managed to spot a koala. It was sleeping, which they do for 19-23 hours a day.
There were also a lot of different parrots. Aina and I walked of a bit, and Aina spotted another koala, this one was a bit easier to see. And for about 5 seconds it was awake.
The koalas were followed by lunch in Apollo Bay. Before going to Mait's rainforest where they have a 30 minute loop walk. So we walked around the forest and saw a lot of beautiful trees.
After the walk we made our way to the 12 apostles, which used to be called the sow and piglets, but that name doesn't work for a tourist attraction.
It was loaded with tourist so I walked to Gibson's steps, and managed to find some privacy on the beach.
Next stop was Loch Ard Gorge a beautiful scar in the limestone cliffs. However I would probably not go swimming there most days as the waves and currents look massive.
Port Campbell was our final destination so we made it there an hour before dinner time.Read more

Meeting the new group
February 13, 2018 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
After checking out in the morning, I went to GPO to have a call with Maggie and Niclas who caught an earlier flight to Sydney. It was great talking with them again.
I then went for a walk along a part of the river I haven't seen yet before finding lunch at Degraves Street.
After lunch I just roamed around the city with nothing specific in mind until I went back and checked in again. Still needed to kill 4 hours before the welcome meeting.
I walked around the city and took some of the mandatory tourist pictures I was missing.
Then it was time for welcome meeting followed by dinner and bed time.Read more

Free walking tour St Kilda
February 12, 2018 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
Today I left the hostel a bit late, and walked to the Royal botanical gardens.
Just walking around not really caring, I needed to pass time until 16:30 where I would join the free walking tour in St Kilda.
After a read in the gardens I walked towards St Kilda via Fawkner park where I had another read.
In St Kilda I ate lunch at Abbey Road awesome place. Thanks for the recommendation Maggie and Niclas.
The free walking tour was great, so I opted to go eat with the guide and one girl who had been on the tour.Read more

Free music festival St Kilda
February 11, 2018 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
This morning I chatted a bit with Lisa, Maggie, and Andi. I left the hostel to walk to St Kilda, where they have the biggest free music festival in Australia. Pretty good timing I would say.
On the way a walked along the lake in Albert park. Here I saw Cockatoos, Parrots, and parakeets. At the festival I first heard That Gold Street Sound, next I found a small lunch and then I heard the Northern folk.
Next up was Maddy Jane, with some soft rock before I went back to the main stage for some punk performed by Models.
After Models, which is only borderline punk, I went to St Kilda pier for a breather, and even though it wasn't sundown I managed to spot a few penguins 2 adults and 2 chicks.
I then went to Thee Wylde Oscars, best music of the day.! And the most lively audience aswell.Read more

Free walking tour Melbourne
February 10, 2018 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C
I am now in Melbourne Australia, here I have a total of 5 nights, soon I will meet a new group and start another G-ADVENTURE. But for now I need to explore this vibrant city.
I am still affected by the illness I contracted in New Zealand, so while I was waiting to join a free walking tour of the city, I considered going back to my hostel. However, in my opinion it's my worst accommodation yet, so I stayed and got better during the walk, which was quite informative.
After the walk I went to Victoria State Library. From here I went and found some good pizza, but my stomach would not let me finish it.
I then felt I needed fresh air. It's stifling in the city center.
So went to the gardens south of the river and walked around until a free concert started at the Sidney Myer music Bowl. Sitting there listening to the music played by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, it was impossible not to think of my uncle Peter. I know he would have loved to experience this concert.Read more

Goodbyes
February 9, 2018 in New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
Today I left New Zealand to go to Melbourne Australia, where in a few days I will embark on a new G-Adventure.
Sadly it meant saying goodbye to people who definitely have become very special to me. Hopefully it was not a goodbye but a see you later.Read more

Final night
February 8, 2018 in New Zealand ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
Today we drove in beautiful weather from the lovely town Kaikoura to Picton where we caught the ferry back to Wellington. Even though it's only been 2 weeks since we were here last so much has happened that it feels longer.
Now is a time to appreciate the memories and the bonds that have been created over the last 24 days here in beautiful New Zealand. I am really going to miss the people I have bonded with on this trip, luckily we are already planning meet-ups in the near future.
People always ask for your favourite moment after a trip, that is simply an impossible question. But truth be told the connecting with people has been the best part.Read more

Oceanic wildlife
February 7, 2018 in New Zealand ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
Today didn't start well for me, seems like I had a case of food poisoning so the morning was rough.
We drove towards Kaikoura I was in and out of sleep not feeling good. In Kaikoura I was supposed to go whale watching, but as we arrived I was not feeling up for it. Luckily we had half an hour and after that I kicked myself and went on the boat.
We only had 2 1/2 hours on the water so due to bad timing we only saw one whale, but it was a beautiful and massive male sperm whale and it was clear to me he was larger than the females I saw last year around the Azores. We also saw several species of albatrosses they are huge.
After the whale watching I was supposed to go kayaking and as Andi and I would share a kayak I went for it. That was a good decision, one I got better and better, two we saw loads of fur seals feeding on fish less that 5 meters away.
After a long day, made longer by being ill, Lisa, Maggie, Andi, Michael, Niclas, and I went to dinner. After dinner we went for a short walk before getting some, especially for my part, much needed sleep.Read more

Ball and Chain
February 6, 2018 in New Zealand ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
Another long drive today. First stop was at the Moeraki Boulders, rocks which the ocean had eroded so they are more or less perfect spheres.
From there we drove another 2 hours and had lunch, actually really good considering the price and that it was a mall café.
2 hours after lunch we made it to Christchurch, here we stayed in a former prison turned hostel.
It was a national holiday so most of Christchurch was closed, but Maggie, Andi, Michael, Niclas, and I managed to find an Irish pub, the food was amazing and they had close to 20 pool tables, so naturally we played some pool after dinner.Read more
