André Down Under - My Blog

Hey dudes,

How are you goin' in Germany? I hope everyone is damn fine...I am :-)
It's been a while since my last update but I just didn't have time as I was so busy with Uni stuff.
But now, Uni is over, all assignments are written and submitted...just the exams are about to come soon :-(
I'll have my exams on 22nd, 24th and 26th of November. I'm not soooo worried about most of them, eventhough one of them is going to be pretty hard. But yeah, that's life...I'll manage it. But it's so hard to study when it's beautiful weather outside. I wanna go to the beach, sit on the river or do other fun things as summer has finally arrived now :-) It's quite impossible to study in my room since my A/C is not working. Due to the fact that I'm living on the second floor (under the roof), it's so incredibly hot in my room...even hotter than outside!!! But the last few days have been way cooler so I was finally able to get some work done.
What else has happened since my last update? I've been to some amazing parties, the zoo, to the Wildlife Park again, I went to a Adelaide United FC soccer match, celebrated Halloween and so on. Was a great time!!! Of course I uploaded some pics of what I've done over the last couple of weeks. As usual, just click on pics and enjoy the show of my life Down Under :-)



Furthermore, we already booked our flights to Cairns where we are going to start our East Coast Trip at the end of this month. After Cairns, we will drive down to Airlie Beach to enter a boat which will take us on a 2-day sailing trip to and around Whitsunday Island and the Great Barrier Reef...probably one of the most beautiful places on this earth :-)


Whitsunday Island


Whiteheaven Beach

I'm so looking forward to snorkel or even scuba-dive at the Great Barrier Reef to explore the sensational underwater world of Australia :-)


That is what I will hopefully see there :-)

After having had a great time on the boat, we'll continue our trip to Fraser Island. Another awesome place to be...We will stay there for 3 Days: relaxing, camping and exploring the island with a 4WD Jeep. It's gonna be soooo good :-)
Already envious? I guess so *lol*

Then we're heading further down to Brisbane, Byron Bay and Surfers Paradise to spend some more gorgeous days in Australia. Finally we will head to Sydney to celebrate Christmas at the beach (I still don't know how that works...isn't it meant to be snowing at Christmas??) before we will leave this wonderful country by the end of December...some go straight back to home, some (e.g. me) are going to celebrate New Year's Eve in Hongkong before returning to Germany at the beginning of January.

But after showing you the great part of this post now, the sad part has to be mentioned as well :-(
I just can't believe that 4 1/2 months flew by so fast...I really feel as if I just arrived here some weeks ago. I've met so many nice people here, I made friendships that will last forever and I learned a lot about myself...To make it short: I just had the time of my life.
And now, I have just 2 more weeks to go till I'm leaving Adelaide and most of my friends. That's so sad...and somehow unbelievable! But well, that's life...and I have to deal with it. But I'm sure coming here was the best decision I've ever made!

Now, I just make sure to make the best out of the last few weeks, eventhough I have some exams to write...

That's all I have to say for the moment. It might be the last update as I don't think I will be able to update the page during exams. But maybe I'll post a final update with all the pics from our East Coast Trip when I am back in Germany. So, keep on checking the page out every now and then if you are interested in what I have experienced while travelling the Australian East Coast.

I hope the weather isn't too bad in Germany and the snow holds back for a long while.
I'm looking forward seeing you guys when I'm back at home :-) Miss u!

Take care and have a good one!

Cheers,
André
