Melbourne part 5

Carnegie

overcast 25 °C

after the crushing news from Maria, giving us two weeks notice, 5 more weeks in Melbs, we have to leave "Eureka Tower" where are we gonna go dude? we absolutely adore our place! and where else than in hostels will someone let us stay for 3 weeks? cause we are so done with those places! well we girls always have a solution for everything right, no matter what. thats why i love this girl! so... if it wasnt for my precious Ida's crazy drunk behavior one night in our fabulous casino next doors, we wouldnt be in Carnegie at this very moment. where we even have our own room. 75 dollars a week (thats $100 less rent than in eureka, HEUREKA!) the only problem is the leaking roof. yup. dont like rainy days these days. several nights sleeping with pots and pans in my bed waking up with wet bed linen. gotta tell ya, not a nice feeling the first thing in the morning! oh, another thing is the busy train-line that runs just outside our house. something we dont appreciate, especially on a day off when the first local trains get their asses on fire. arrrrgh!

here we are. the blue one. My room is the window to the right and the left one is Ida's. We love the store downstairs. 50% off anything. i think she said that. hmm...

Tasmania

Holiday isle

sunny 33 °C

after all the sizzle dizzle dazzle hassle plane ticket bookings I finally made it here! Three days off from work on an island with my really really good friend Fraser, yay! Definately a good holiday ahead!

First day we drove up to Port Arthur. Before we got there we stopped for some quality kodak moments.. prettyyy!

this was actually taken on our way home, the place was called; "devil's kitchen" wonder what they cook here??

So Port Arthur. A place where the first convicts were dropped off to first become prisoners and then... (excuse mi French...) get killed. autch. so many people were killed here. Gives me the creeps just walking around here...

It was such a long day so we took off back to Fraser's other place (summer house) where I met the rest of the wonderful family and the cutest puppy dog ever not to mention the two cozy cats I so wanted to steal. Tomorrow we are cruisin' to wineglass bay... zzz...

Here we are. Emma, me, Matt, Fraser and Simo. What I love about travelling! Even if we all met on the other side of the world in a busy big cosmopolitan city called London nearly a year ago, here we are again, in Tasmania, Australia. Awesome!
