Sep 2006

On my way to Sydney I had a stop in Port Macquarie, where I stayed at the best hostel so far "Port Macquarie Backpackers". After a week actually making food (NO, I'm not talking about bread with hazelnut spread ) the manager wanted me to stay at the hostel and cook. Had a great time in Port Macquarie, taking it easy and working at a cafe.
When I got to Sydney I went to the bottleshop & got a little birthday gift for one of the norwegian girls, Mette. That saturday at Wig Ram road, there was a crazy norwegian "rolpefest" party. Everybody got extremely drunk from all the Hot'n'sweet, jellyshots, tequila & galliano shots + whatever people had with them...beer, wine, vodka
Crazy!!
The next day I met up with Mette, Ida & Eline(got my camera & cds back) we went to circular quay, and while we had our exclusive dinner I found some ?scary? photos on my camera, from the night before except laughing the whole time I was with the norwegian girls, we tried to ruin for some guys trying to shoot some skateboarding tricks Sorry guys! and we had some hot chocolates and I had to run up the escalators that goes down (its just something that norwegian girls studying in Sydney have to do...don't ask me!!) Such a fun day!!! Loved it, thanks girls! (Mette, Ida & Eline: How is Norway? small?)

22 june 2006 I got up at 05:30am, without much sleep, took the train to the international airport waiting an hour for Andre. While he was in Australia we went a weekend to the snow, Thredbo. When we came back to Bondi sunday night at 00:00 we drove to Tamworth, where we just spent 2 days at Jackaroo & Jillaroo School(cause of my bad back GRRR) I even had the coolest horse, Gullable or Bullable. So we drove to Armidale where we had lunch before we ended up in a suite at Quality Inn in Coffs Harbour. There we went to a dolphinshow (they are sooo cute!!!!) before we drove to Byron Bay where I saw my future surfboard at a place called something like "Earth & Sea". Next day we headed to Surfers Paradise where I had the best meal EVER EVER EVER!!! salmon that wasn't fried or burnt I was in heaven!!!
Then we drove to Noosa for a little bit of surfing at Sunshine Beach before we went to Rainbow Beach. The days after that was Tin Can Bay & Hervey Bay, where we went on a scenic flight over Fraser Island. On our way back to Sydney we stopped in Surfers again where we went on a rainforest walk & to Dreamworld. You won't believe what I did!!!! But I did it!! I took The Giant Drop (and they kept us up there forever!!! horrible horrible But I did it!! (kept on saying I would die, luckily no one else was norwegian :P) I was just a little bit shaky afterwards HA HA but a little while later I took The Tower of Horrer (and believe me it is the fucking tower of horror!!!!) it was h o r r i b l e!!! but I did it (when I came back, the hotel balcony wasn't even a little little little bit scary anymore - YEAHY!) Driving towards Sydney again, we slept near Kempsey, so the next morning I got my iced chocolate in Taree(it's the best!!) & also got a second view from Cape Hawke lookout near Forster. Back in Sydney we stayed at Swiss Grand at Bondi Beach. Such a nice breakfast! (think I miss "norwegian" food just a tiny bit... )
After Andre left, everything happened pretty quick. Slept above the Waves Surf School office & on the sofa where Vicky was housesitting. And I got to see how the busride would be to the snow again Vicky was driving the small bus after the van, when we found them, at the motorway, we changed trailers and drove back to Sydney
On friday I left for the snow, to go work, going in the small bus again to keep Ben company. What a great company I was, starting the trip with a phonecall and then not talking... Sorry Ben!!
So now I'm at Snowy Valley Resort in East Jindabyne, where I started working monday 17 july 2006. How about I end with that for now
