Who Made Holly Willoughbys Cake

end of the 1 Road Tripp

Merry Christmas to you all, as a little gift here to read the latest update .. have fun and enjoy the Schneee while here we have the rain.
04.12.2010 (Saturday) Today was the long awaited and renowned Great Ocean Road -> simply fantastic, the interplay of rock and water. On the way to a famous lighthouse (which we have not visited since this Once again admission would have cost), we have seen countless wild koalas ... and what can I say, you can not get enough of the sweet Wollekneulen simple. Terminus was then in Geelong.

05.12.2010 (So) Nach einer grauenhaften Nacht (die betrunkene Dorfjugend hatte die tolle Idee Nacht zwischen 1 und 2 auf der Hüpfburg rum zuspringen; als die dann fertig waren begann 2 Std. später ein nerviger Vogel sein Konzert direkt vor unserem Auto und ließ sich auch nicht verjagen) ging es zum Ausflug zum Surf Beach in Torquay. Surf Outlet Shopping, und da schau her es gibt doch Dinge die günstig sind hier unten. Am Abend ging es noch zum Spaziergang im Park.

 06.12.2010 (Mo) Fahrt über Melbourne in Richtung Lakes Esperance; über den 90 Mile Beach gefahren und am Paradise Beach geschlafen, nachdem wir 2 Brown Snakes gesehen haben (ist eine der Top5 der gefährlichsten Schlangen)
 07.12.2010 (Di) Erster Stopp Lakes Espernace; sehr schön gelegen mit vielen Flussstränden und Meerstränden mit unzähligen Pelikanen; Weiterfahrt nach Eden und dazu Nino De Angelo – Jenseits von Eden gehört J Lager für 2 Tage in Merimbula aufgeschlagen (beim Zeltaufbau nette Gesellschaft von ein paar Vögeln – wenn man sonst schon keine Freunde hat…kann aber auch daran liegen das wir 2 Tage nicht geduscht hatten) gewöhnlich werden Tiere ja von einem Gestank angezogen und naja sie waren fast nur bei Daniel :)

08.12.2010 (Mi) Schon sehr früh wach geworden da das Nachbarzelt (eine Familie mit 3 Kindern) schon nach 6 Uhr extrem laut gemacht haben. Den restlichen Tag haben wir dann am Pool verbracht da es am Meer zu stürmig war.

09.12.2010 (Do) 2 Punkte für Dtl .: Am Vortag hatten wir uns noch ueber das Nachbarzelt aufgeregt und gewünscht das die Kinder ruhig sind und da schau her im Sturm wurde „ leider “ das Zelt zerstört und sie mussten abreisen. Beim auschecken von dem Zeltplatz wollte ich die again have deposit for the toilet key $ 10, unfortunately it has given me two $ 10 coupons - I have to keep them as compensation for the restless night from the day before, of course. ENG 4 went further then in the direction of Canberra where we had pitched about 80 km off the city on a free camping spot our camp: This new score : OFF 1.

10.12.2010 (Friday) morning at taking down the tent was a huge spider on our car Hansman (Teeteller big) and Marlen has tried to chase them, this is the spider in the direction of automotive interior cut off. Since I had not seen that said I the spider back to their network and we have to worry about. Very restless and a bottle of insect repellent on we went from the vapors throughout zugedroehnt to Canberra. In the construction of the tent she was back to our friend the spider Hansman. Without thinking, she was then killed it with the most pole. Ranges are actually "Hansmann" at least 10 points become due but we only write off a well - after all, because it was also disposed of properly:) This new score: OFF 2: ENG 4 For the rest of the day we spent in the City . This is not that great but there are in the city something for men: one of the largest museums in the world war in which one can easily spend 1-2 days.
 

11.12.2010 (Sa) An diesem Tag ging es zurück zur Küste. Zwischendurch wurde kurze; Stopps an kleinen schönen Stränden eingelegt, welche weit in das Landesinnere vordringen. Geschlafen haben wir in Nowra auf kleinen günstigen Campingspot.

12.12.2010 (So) Zum abkuehlen ging es zum baden nach Kiama und dann weiter in Richtung  Wollongong. Unser Nachlager haben wir auf einem super Zeltplatz in Bulli (mit Blick auf das Meer) aufgeschlagen. Um das schoene warme Wetter zu geniessen ging es am Abend nochmal in Wasser zum abkuehlen.
 
 
 13.12.2010 (Mo) Auf ging es nach Illawong zu Marlen`s alten Chef und natuerlich auch zu Chester. Dieser hatet Marlen vor Freude auch gleich in den Finger gebissen. Bei Kuchen und Spekulatius wurden die letzten Neuigkeiten ausgetauscht und später ging es zur Besichtigung des neuen Büros. Im Anschluss ging es nach Cronulla, diesen Spot hatten wir in unserer Sydneyzeit forgotten. Unfortunately, this beach was crowded total, which was probably the holidays. We slept about 50 km NW of Sydney convened at Big4.

14/12/2010 (Tue) To all our spots to Sydney Haggen it went to Palm Beach. As the weather but not starred, it was shortly after "The Entrance". In the afternoon a detailed walk was undertaken by the lake.

15/12/2010 (Wed) In the bright sunshine and 33 degrees, it went to Swansea (because we liked the name) to visit a few beaches (Cave + Bach Red Head Beach). Then it went straight on to Nelson Bay bzw.Port Stephens. An einem wunderschönen Strand haben wir die Temperaturen und das kuehle Nass genossen.
 

16.12.2010 (Do) Trotz bedeckten Himmels wurden ein paar Stopps an den naheliegenden Straenden gemachte bevor es zum Tagesziel Port Maquire ging.

17.12.2010 (Fr) Wenn man die ganze Zeit unterwegs ist dann sehen alle Orte nach einer Weile gleich aus. Um so mehr freut man sich wenn man in ein Oertchen kommt namens Urumbulla welches die Heimatstadt des Akkubras (=die ist der typische austral. Outnack Hut)  ist. Leider gab it in the factory no guidance and no stock sales, instead there was only a video production. Last stop was at diesm days Coffs Harbour, as is almost always the weather we were not well disposed, that is cloudy and still humid (it is just waiting for it sensed at last and it is hoped that one before his tent set up previously set up his tent has).
18.12.2010 (Saturday) was actually our next destination only Ballina, but as we still had massive time we thought about ourselves in the most famous hippy town in Australia to drive, this is called Nim Bim and makes took all their glory, because the people there are really verBIMmelt! If we do not do better know them can you think that Woodstock is then risen again. All people there who have big or small for breakfast included only a "bag", then it goes to the everyday verBIMmelten tour of the village to see if everything is still the old (except for the tourists - who by the way the money for the Apply morgentliche breakfast, changes in Nim Bim not really much 60 years ago and it looked exactly the same characters are still living in the place). We have the way, for a Patch (for collection Daniels) 15 $ paid (the stuff must be the smoke that is pretty good stuff). After it was somewhat eventful wehniger on to Ballina. Since the sky fanned there something we thought about it once on the local river (Meeresmuendung) go fishing. Not for nothing we Campbell has packed a fishing rod. Unfortunately, we do not fish much straight from the idea, so we have caught nothing (now we know that one takes no Australian fish with corn on land) - No matter, for we had at all on the day the most beautiful experience. We sat at the Meeresmuendung have enjoyed the sunset with a German beer and have it seen dolphins - it was breathtaking, even if we initially thought that the last effects of Nim Bin (you never know what you get because when Baecker ) :)

19/12/2010 (Sun), Byron Bay - this is the Nim for Bim arms! It just indicative and looks just as it is awash with tourists - there to keep the money flow in the transition. Dignity can be described rausradieren all these facts, it would be a very sehenswetes little place. Unfortunately, we were also cursed with the weather a bit and had therefore not anzushen many opportunities for something. Surfers Paradise was also laden with rain clouds. Therefore we could not do much that day and consoled ourselves with the fact that Brisbane is for about 100 miles away and we can go at any time again to him. On the day we have on a cheap camping spot in the rain slept heavily.

20.12.2010 (Monday) Today was the long-awaited arrival in Brisbane

21.-23.12.12.2010 (Tue-Thu) The last days had been a bit stressful because Maxi eaten, what was spoiled with highest probability, and has broken for 1 day only. Thus, they had to the vet and spent two terrible days, but now she's back home but unfortunately still has blood in the stool. Therefore revolves Our biggest worry of course about the little mouse! Otherwise, we had at 22.12. an anticipated Christmas dinner with two friends from Yel & Cam, the atmosphere was great and we had a great night out (with Jägermeister) :)

Here's something special for Tanya:

Best Way To Soften A Leather Coat

15th Entry

Hello my friends! Saturday 18. December, after 23:43 local time

And once again are one and a half months have passed without that I have mentioned. So with the once a week is nothing. (;
However, recently
is already pretty much happened: all starting from the fact that I changed my host family. There were always problems, and at the end of the barrel was just full and overflowed. Now I live in the old family an AFS student from Germany. Here father and mother live in the house, plus a little brother Cristian (9 years), my little sister (15 years, small, because after my birthday), my big sister (16 years), cousin and grandma now and then. So a really big family, but basically what I actually prefer! Well, the family is really nice and tried it myself here doing well, but unfortunately also quite strict. And there are also quite many views that I am not of the same opinion, which, for example: would be: (my sister has told me) if you are here as a boy wearing the pants "low", and perhaps even to have their ears pierced, you are quite possibly a drug dealer. And especially the people with tattoos and long hair are dangerous because those are usually the ones who are responsible for all the robberies. My opinion on it was: Hahahah, I have quite a few friends of AFS in Santo Domingo, Dominican, and an African. A friend has such a really big afro, which is pretty rare! Would be no doubt that there are too few locks, but because the Men here all have a unit section of about 5mm. And what is here already fairly observed, the rank order of father and mother. If, for example: The door bell rings and to do what everyone has, except the Father, of course, is not he open the door, go no, someone has to interrupt his work and open. And quite often excites me to the already, because it would just little things really asking too much!
But a real advantage here is that only my two sisters English can the small and not really perfect, and I have in the month in which I am now here, pretty much learned English!

And at school It is also always stop there, I still do not understand do a tremendous amount, but the moment I got eh holidays. (; That's because this is just a week of exams (the "exámenes finales") The runs here namely from anderst: It has usually, each month a test in each subject, and at the end of the semester a major test over the whole matter.. And since I do not take notes must, I have a week longer than any other holiday, that means that I have over a month Weihnachts-/Semesterferien (:.. On the one could get used

What was in! the last time that the family here at the weekend often goes somewhere. So I have seen, for example, La Vega, San Francisco and Monte Christi. But from everything I've seen my Montecristi liked best. There is a point where you can go to the cliffs and has an overview over the sea. I really liked the totally good!

Yes, and for two minutes is here already the 4th Advent. Actually, I'm really zero in the Christmas mood, I usually like the time before Christmas really like, but here is missing I can simply not there to set it. Although we have been about a week, "cold" weather, (20 ° C). But there are some differences of Christmas and Christmas here with us. For example, know the here is no Advent calendar that does not exist here. And no Advent wreath, and when I asked my older sister today if she had a gift for the parents for Christmas she said: It is not customary to give the people what to give for Christmas. Only the children get what, but if you're bigger you tinker a card or something and that's it. So it looks like this year is my first Christmas without snow, presents, decorated with palm trees and where you sweat. Well, one must have also seen. (;!

And I like it's still incredibly good here I just have a problem here that is pretty boring pretty often, because my sisters learn pretty much around the clock go out, I may (according to the father, who told me that last week) once a week to ten on weekends. I will certainly talk about it with my contact person once she is back from Germany again! And what sometimes was a pretty funny situation it was when my father here told me that he wants me to have long hair. I was this way: Did I understand correctly now? No, I think he asked me if my dad in Austria has a problem that I have short hair. will No, I said I want you you have long hair: I told him and he said on it since. Since it has on it from me (I hope not snotty) Answer given: Come out of the question, I like my short hair, and I do not care if you want me to have long hair. So this is the last thing I will require me, as I have to have the hair. Certainly not! I mean, I get upset so also does not have his hair cut! And even though I pretty much the only one here with short hair, am I will not let me grow, at least not in the near future!

So now I have informed you back at least a little bit, now it is 0:14 and I'll go to sleep. I will upload the report tomorrow, because my father has turned here at ten to the Internet because es ja „Zeit zum schlafen“ ist. Wir haben zwar Wochenende, aber auch egal. Ich bin halt nicht so wie meine Schwester um 9 im Bett, wenn wir Wochenende haben! Aber ist ja ihre Entscheidung. (;

Gute Nacht und ganz liebe Grüße
Hanna

How Will You Calculate Interest On Rd

Adelaide and on to Melbourne to Melbourne on

24.11.2010 (Mi) Ankunft in Adelaide; starker Regen und nur 17 Grad – einen Tag vorher waren es noch 36 Grad

25.11.2010 (Do) Sightseeing in Adelaide -> die schönsten alten Gebäude in Australien und alles sehr grün, aber der Rest der Innenstadt braucht etwas Nachhilfe
 












26.11.2010 (Fr) Ausflug ins Barossa Valley welches wir als das neue „ Schluckvalley “ bezeichnen. Nun können wir uns auch als richtige Weinkenner outen, daher haben wir schon heute unsere erste Weinparty vorgemerkt, sobald wir wieder in Deutschland sind. Für alle die also keine Ahnung von Wein haben -> Ihr seid gerne eingeladen:). Die Leute auf dem Bild haben wir auf der Tour kennen gelernt (von links: Andrea aus Chicago, Antonio ist ursprünglich aus Spanien, lebt aber schon seit 51 Jahren in Adelaide, she knows the next two and the last of the bunch is Valerie, she is the wife of Antonio and comes from Adelaide. In any case, this was a beautiful day when we remember back to us later, like when we're old and gray and sitting in our rocking chair by the fireplace.





11/27/2010 (Sat) Very bad weather (rain and storm) and thus 1 days longer in Adelaide; na girls, what woman does not like it? Right!! Shopping ... :), Since it lends itself naturally, that the outlet shopping center is right outside the tent door:) There should be inferred nice after the shopping was, we still made a little trip to the northern tip of Adelaide, which is a peninsula is. When we arrived back at camp, we still have a Abendspatziergang the resident river made.

28/11/2010 (Sun) Departure from Adelaide -> drive to Hahndorf (is one of the largest cities in Australia with roots dt), unfortunately it was still early in the morning to drink beer to dt, so we have a pretzel and indulged bee sting - which does not do anything to bring the home to a little down under (the the first settlers have thought then determined). After the letters went home in the McLaren Vale, which turned out to be not very rewarding. Therefore, we continued our journey along the Peninsula and it was later and later, of course, had her a camp spot, we found a few nerves and lost eternal search then (Rapid Bay). But the view and the fact that he is for both of us only 12 $ all cost has broken out again:).



































11/29/2010 (Mon) know drive to Victor Harbour, you have that we do in every major city and a stop us The tourist office über den Ort und die Umgebung erkundigen. Nur besitzt diese Stadt die Frechheit Geld für die Parkplätze direkt an der Info zu verlangen. Daher haben wir uns entschieden lieber gleich weiter zu fahren. Da wir wieder mal eine Dusche benötigten buchten wir uns auf den Big4 in Port Elliot ein. Dieser lag direkt am Meer, was zu einem Strandspaziergang einlud. An dem Abend war es leider extrem kalt und stürmig und wir hatten das erste Mal echt Angst, dass uns das Zelt vor den Augen wegfliegt. Wie es der Zufall will kam auf einmal eine nette ältere Dame zu uns (sie hatten den Campspot direkt neben uns – und wir kamen am Nachmittag schon ins Gespräch) und fragte, ob wir nicht Lust hätten uns in ihrem Trailer mit einer heißen Tasse Kaffee and warm up a wine. Since we had not of course think twice. Overall, we spent 4 hours (up to 24 Clock) together and have talked about God and the world (her husband (Oscar) is originally from Austria, but has lived 50 years in Australia, she is a native Australian and is named Helen).





11/30/2010 (Tue) Our next ride in the direction of Mount Gambier was rather boring, but you could see beautiful lakes and salt Pelicans observed but it was just a run of only Many. You must know that it is after a few days, simply nothing special, it's just once on the road. ... Of course it's not quite as bad as described, it is fantastic to explore the area where normally no backpacker goes, as we had a beach all to ourselves (as seen by human side, because there were too many flies present) and what does not like a German traveler, if he is now already on the last eight months? Well ... partying to DJ Ötzi (a star with your name):) ... (Oh man, that was fun!). We have stayed about 30km from Mount Gambier in the middle of a free campsite in the village.














01/12/2010 (Wed ) Arrival at Mount Gambier, this city is built in, or around an extinct volcano, it has beautiful gardens and a "Blue Lake", which changes color twice a year (in November, he is turquoise blue, and in April he discolored deep gray). This natural phenomenon, we looked more closely and how you can see the pictures, it is fantastically beautiful, even if one could think at the coal mine or just any other quarry to be (with the exception of the fascinating color). After we went to Port McDonnell, this fishing village has a beautiful coastline, but nothing useful to return, so we were forced to go on. On the way to the quarters for the night we saw 20 kangaroos, which were like old people on the street and watched the traffic. It seems the pace for the state and give sinners a rubdown work - they were further supported by two more huge emus. ... How could it be otherwise we have returned to a free campsite slept, this was about 30 km behind Nelson in the direction of Victoria.









02/12/2010 (Thu) Short visit to Portland and then we went to Warrnambool. This city is famous for its more than 700 Schrifffracks (looks great with 3 f's) known. As we most of the afternoon spent so that had a new hammer to find a night we decided to stay longer in place.








12.03.2010 (Friday) it was in bright sunshine in the small and not so peaceful city. The day we have still finished with a walk in the nearby park and local maze.
