      Moved to Suffolk Park!

      October 3, 2017 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

      Nachdem ich het müsse s Zimmer teile i de Unterkunft, han ich mich entschiede, zunere Gastfamilie z‘wechsle. S isch mer wüki z dumm worde mitere Managerin wo ihres Züg null im Griff het und Zimmer andauernd überbuecht & denn s gfühl het sie chan mi ines Doppelzimmer stecke obwohl ich füres Einzelzimmer zahlt han. Zudem die viele Brasilianer und Italiener wo s Gfühl hend Schlafensziit isch unter de Wuche am 1 am morge und ihri Music wend alli umbedingt lose bis denn.
      Ufjedefall hani letzt Samstig zude Wendi & em Dave chöne wechsle. D Wendi isch scho 60i, benimmt sich aber nid wüki so. Ihri Chatz wo eigetlich Sarah heisst nennt sie oftmals efach „fuc*king b*tch“ wel d Chatz efach sehr lunisch isch 😅 De Dave, ihre Partner, isch erst 47. Uuh en zwäge Typ wo de glich Biergschmack het wie ich. Ich wohne ellei bi ihne, da ihri chind scho uszoge sind. Die meiste Verwandte hani aber scho kenneglernt, alles sehr tolli und offni Lüt. Dur de Umzug zudere Gastfamilie het sich min Schuelweg bizli g‘änderet. Anstatt 1 min z Fuess hani ez 20 min mitem Velo. Mis dihei isch ez nüme in Byron selber, sondern in Suffolk Park, en chline Vorort vo Byron. Glücklicherwiis wohned fast alli Gastfamilie da, so chani immer mit mine Schuelkolleginne id Schuel fahre.

      Da min Schuelweg ez nuna mitem Velo machbar isch, hani mer müsse es Velo chaufe. Han mer das ganze chli anderst vorgstellt, alses denn wüki cho isch.......

      S einte Foti zeigt mis neue Zimmer. Det hends mal voll min Gschmack troffe! Ich denke, es Foti vo mine Gasteltere wird na folge.

      Attacked by a leech

      October 8, 2017 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

      Gester hemmer en wunderschöne Usflug zude Minyon Falls gmacht. Mit dere super Truppe hets echt Spass gmacht. S Highlight isch en Bluetegel gsi, wo s Gfühl gha het mis Bluet isch s beste. Irgendwenn hani denn gmerkt, dass de tatsächlich a mim Fuess azapft het. Woni das bemerkt han hani so luut gschreit, dass all gmeint hend e Schlage heg mi gno. Da mich de Wurm sooooo fescht aa g‘eklet het, hani en nid chöne selber wegneh 🙄 Kollegin heten denn zum Glück wegzoge... Hinderlah heter e ganz ganz chlini Wunde, wo aber chum ufghört het blüete. Nachdem ich denn googlet han, ob Bluetegel giftig sind in Australie, bini gar nid mal meh beruhigt gsi. Ich ha denn aber na mini Gasteltere gfregt, die hend gmeint ich sött‘s aso überlebe 😅 Bis ez bini aso na wohl uf! Ich ha ja mit Schlage und Spinne grechnet i dem Regewald womer gloffe sind.. aber ganz sicher nid miteme Bluetegel!

      PS: Mami, was isch das füren Baum mit de violette Blüete? De wetti umbedingt mal i mim Garte! 😊

      Fortune is fickle!

      October 3, 2017 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

      On saturday, after I‘d moved to suffolk park, I enthusiastically bought a bike. Because one of my friend told me to, I went to a curious old man who sells bikes. He sold me an old but capable bike for 50 bucks. Luckily I went out at saturday night with my bike. I came home later and left my bike in front of the garage, next to Dave‘s car. After I woke up in the morning, Dave asked me if I left my bike at my friends house. I was confused till I noticed that my bike isn‘t in front od the garage anymore. First I just thought it‘s a bad joke or dream. Than I realized that I can‘t go anywhere without my bike. I got really pissed off! And dave as well. It‘s the first time something was stolen at their house! And it was my bike which I haven‘t even had 24 hours! So we searched the bike in the neighborhood, without success. So next to all the beautiful places here, the nice weather, the huge amount of freetime and the friendly people there are some things that are nerve-racking too. Fortunately, my hostdad told the story in his office and his boss offered him to lend his bike for the time I‘m staying here. So I got a bike again 🤗

      Long story short: Fortune is fickle, but I do my very best to be happy-go-lucky! 🏝

      Byron Bay / Ballina

      November 11, 2022 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

      While I was back home for Mim’s 18th, Brett and the boys got up to Byron Bay and Ballina for a few nights.

      In Byron Bay, they stayed at a camp ground that was a little shady, and some of the other more permanent campers got into it! But the kids did enjoy the giant blow up slides and jumping castles they had there during the day. Luckily, they didn’t have to stay there long as Snoop Az had plenty of room to park up at his place.

      Az’s place in the trees had a much more relaxing vibe, which I was glad to come home too. The boys enjoyed picking fresh herbs out of his garden to cook with.

      Lachlan had an epic surf on his new board at Lennox Beach after I arrived back with fins and a leg rope from the shed back home. He came out of the water with the biggest smile and couldn’t stop talking, he even got 2 barrels.
