Hellooo 👋🏻 😊

Because I didn't do anything exciting on Sunday, I prefer to focus on Monday today!

12/02/2018: This morning at 7:30 am, I was the last one to be picked up from the hostel by the 15-person group. We had a very funny driver and tour guide, who was very difficult to understand because of his Australian accent. Australian English is somehow a mix of British and American English. They pronounce the vowels like the British, but they definitely got the mumble and the "r" from the Americans. Tricky combination! 😄

The tour was absolutely amazing. We drove almost the entire time along the coast, with the sea on one side and the hilly landscape with wild wallabies on the other. Except for the wallabies, it reminded me a lot of my trip to Ireland three years ago, where Andi and I rented a car to drive along the west coast. Sooo beautiful! We stopped from time to time to get out and enjoy the magnificent views.

(As much as I find big cities interesting and exciting - I am definitely a child of nature! I really can't imagine living in a big city. I definitely need some form of water in front of my door in the future. Or a forest. Main thing is nature, I'm not picky about it. 😂 Anyway, I notice more and more during my trip how grateful I can be to have grown up in Porta. We have everything here that a person needs to be happy: the Weser river, the forests, fields, mountains... I'm already looking forward to being home again! 😊 Especially to my family, by the way. Love you guys! 💛)

But you probably want to see some photos from the tour, right? 😄😍

It was incredibly difficult for me to limit myself to a certain number, but here you go:



My heart automatically beats faster when I see these pictures. Simply breathtaking. 💛

One highlight of the Great Ocean Road are the "Twelve Apostles". These are coastal formations that rise high out of the water:


(The photos were taken by an Asian woman. She somehow didn't quite understand that it's more about the background than about me being in the photo. 😒😄)
Here's one without me:

These "little islands", as they are called, are already millions of years old. By now, there are no longer twelve of them, as they gradually disappear due to the strong waves, salty wind, and rain. Some new ones are formed when others break apart. In general, it is said that they shrink by up to 2cm each year, so that eventually nothing will be left of them. Another reason to appreciate it all!

Our guide said that we were lucky because there weren't many tourists around. Chinese New Year is on Friday and during that time, Australia always gets overrun by the Chinese. So we were lucky! 😊
Tomorrow we will go back to the rainforest and to Phillip Island to watch the penguins! 😍 Wednesday will already be my last day in Australia. I'm still excited!
Greeeeetings! 💛
