    Kangaroo & Surfing

    September 16, 2017 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    The last weekend was great! On saturday I went on a trip. We went to a wonderful waterfall, spent some time in a zoo and headed to the small, creepy village named Nimbin. In the zoo I saw a kangaroo for the first time in real life. I was bowled over by its cuteness 😍 I always thought that kangaroos have a fur like a cow. But it feels like one of a bunny, sooooo fluffy! I was so lucky that I had to make a selfie with the kangaroo 😄
    Unfortunately it isn't allowed to hold the koalas in New South Wales, but I think I will catch that up during my east coast trip.
    After the zoo we went to Nimbin. This is a really small village where just hippies live. Most of them live there since the 70ies. I think all the guys there do drugs, without exeption. Selling weed is illegal there as well, but everyone does it and the government don't care at all. There is also a hemp shop in Nimbin, where they "officially" don't sell drugs. Nimbin was nice to see but it is so tiny and I was a bit scared because of the hippies there haha.

    On sunday I had my first surfing lesson & it was absolutely fun! I could stand on the bord on the first try and the teacher meant that I have a good balance 😎 We were surfing for 2 hours without any break and I was done after that. The surfboard was, without joking, nearly as big as two pascale's. So it was really hard for me to go out in the ocean. Sometimes a big wave came and I had no chance. I got carried away from the wave, it dragged me underwater, my surfboard skidded me away and I had no idea where the top or the bottom is. But despite of the fact that it was extremly exhausting for me to controll me and my board while walking in the ocean, surfboarding itself was real fun! I'm sure that wasn't the last time 😊
