Working for my AMG

Peace!

BTW. Tomorrow I'm having my flight back home. It's been an amazing time in Australia and I'm gonna miss it! The time I spent here is unforgettable and passed so quickly that I remember the day I arrived like it was yesterday. Unfortunately life ain't only about having fun. Some responsibilities have to be done! So It's something like Good bye. ✋

After such a lovely time in Sydney was about the time to set off to Melbourne. Of course not straight though. Our first stop was in Blue Mountains. Due to arriving late, we had to find place to sleep, what was again impossible so with no other choice we sneaked in. But this time it was really delight sneak in. Well, there was a barrier and next to it place just for our car! What a coincidence.. :D So the next day we had to sneak out of course. The situation left us no choice but wake up at5 in morning. At least we had decided to see sunrise over Blue Mountains, which we eventually missed because of our GPS, which led us somewhere, where we probably weren't supposed to go. After some searching on Google maps we saw that we went in completely wrong direction and set off the right one. When we arrived Three Sisters (the main lookout) sun was already up. Never mind, we still enjoyed Blue mountains. Unfortunately the weather weren't the best. After that we drove straight to Canberra. I have to say except the parliament house, there is nothing to see. So the other day we went straight to Melbourne. Was about 700 kms. Approximately 9 hours drive. Thankfully we were 2 drivers. So loooong time spent in the car. Anyway, we arrived after twice refilled fuel tank! :D After arrival we booked backpackers and drove there. It was completely disastrous. The worst place I have ever seen. Maybe the accommodation wasn't the worst. it was the girl in our room. Completely high! Firstly we just checked in and went to check out our room. While looking for bed she just revealed from curtain over her bed. That was the worst look ever. Mouth full of chocolate. Chocolate was all over her. That was extremely disgusting. Well, we just went back to car. Of course, she followed us. We had to find parking. While we were parking she just stole a hose from an older lady, who after accused us from knowing that person and called police. After like 15 minutes we decided to explain her what was going on. She was actually really nice. I guess this was the last thing after we decided to cancel all our bookings and continue sleeping in the car. So then we spent 2 days in Melbourne. and Set off Great Ocean Road!

Road trip Pt.2 Sydney 🌆

Well, to be frank, I don't really remember everything so I will just point out what I do remember. When we arrived Sydney we went straight to camping, which was quite close to the city (20 minutes by train). After checking in we had to do some shopping, which was tricky as usual with our car, which height was above 2,3 meters. Entirely all parkings are under ground what means clearance 2,1 meters. Of course completely impossible for us. I forgot to mention that I almost ripped the tent of the roof trying to approach target parking in Coolangatta.  Anyway after parking illegally somewhere on a street (hopefully without fine) we did shopping, went back to camping and later that day went to see Sydney in night, what was absolutely amazing view. Walking over Harbour Bridge with rather perfect view of opera house was stunning. We stayed downtown for a couple of hours and went back to the camping. Actually we did it everyday. Everyday in Sydney we went downtown to see some sights. Really beautiful was the view from ferry of Harbour Bridge, Opera House and CBD altogether. Well, we saw Manly beach, Bondi beach, and the city. After staying for a couple of days (5 I reckon) we set off to Melbourne!

Road trip Pt.1 Brisbane-Sydney

My Australian road trip through east coast was just amazing. To be clear from Brisbane to Melbourne. Well, first part of the trip began very slowly due to the fact that we had to wait for a mate like 3 hours. But we weren’t in a rush, so it didn’t really matter. Plan was to leave Brisbane at 10 am. Well it didn’t work out at all. I reckon that we left at 2 pm. Our first stop was in Coolangatta, where we went to swim for the last time! Was really nice! After swimming and some shopping, we drove to Byron Bay, where we slept. We rented a camper van so we could have slept in the car, however, it is illegal to sleep out of allowed areas. So we had to find a camping place. It is usually quite cheap, so it was not a big deal. After having some beers, cooking some tuna, we went to sleep. I have to say that sleeping in the car was more comfortable than I had expected. Usually 2 people inside the car and 3 in a tent, which was on the roof. Anyway the other day after waking up we had to leave the camping at 10 am. Than we drove to Byron Bay and after to Nimbin. Nimbin could be a chapter by itself. Basically it’s a very small town in a middle of nowhere (70kms from Byron Bay in direction of the middle of Australia), where the main business is weed. Not only it is possible to buy without trouble but people there are literally shouting at you whether you wanna some. :D pretty funny there. Due to bad weather we didn’t stay long. We drove somewhere a bit further from Coffs Harbor, where we slept. The camping was closed by the time we arrived though. We just sneaked in and left in early morning. The next day we drove to Port Macquire, which is another city on east coast famous for painted rocks along the sea. We spent some lovely time there and with coming sunset continued to Seal Rocks, where we slept. Another closed campaign, what means another sneak in and another waking up early. Actually we wanted to pay. It was just impossible though. We didn’t even arrived that late. And we were out of petrol and the closest petrol station was closed already as well. The next day after refilling we drove to New Castle. Another nice city with beautiful walk along the sea. There is a beautiful port as well. Now I am not sure but I think the very same day we drove to Sydney!!

Well, after 9 months in Brisbane, it's time to pack all my stuff and set off to Sydney. Honestly, it's not that easy, so many memories from this city.... I guess it's a part of life though. Somehow all the stuff doesn't fit into 30 kgs luggage. Fortunately I got another 4 weeks to think through what do not I need.. :D.. I'm gonna miss this city, especially my lovely host family, where I felt like at home. Hopefully See you soon Brisbane! 

As I finished school followed by CAE exam, which was by the way quite difficult, it's about time to say Good bye to Brisbane. The city, where I have lived since September 2014. Next week is starting an adventure. A Road trip from Brisbane to Melbourne with stops in Byron Bay, Sydney, Canberra, Great Ocean Road and more. Hopefully weather is going to be alright because we are gonna sleep in a car. 

So I've done first part of CAE exam. Probably the most stressful part. However, in the end it wasn't too bad. I'd say that the time before the exam, especially the waiting before being invited, is much more stressful than it is in the end. The exam takes only fifteen minutes so there isn't really spare time to talk in broaden way. Not all the time but sometimes when speech is getting too long the examiners just cut it down. I reckon it was really good experience and of course hope that I passed. Anyway I still gotta do the rest of the test, the written part, on Saturday, which takes longer (about 4 hours)...

What I remember as the funniest moment is Sheldon's video application to go to Mars, which was exceedingly funny. On the other hand as the most emotional moment I would say Howard's mother death. The ending suggests us that there is gonna be next season and how it will probably begin.

Only five weeks left before my road trip.
