Adventures of a 19 year old

I of course couldn't miss driving on one of the most scenic coastal roads in the world, so with a few other people I rented a campervan and we drove from Melbourne to Adelaide in about 4 days. The Triplet falls The beach at the bottom of the Gibson steps The Gibson steps The famous 12 apostles, although there aren't actually 12. Until 2005 there were 9, one collapsed and now there's just 8 left. Ome day all of them will have disappeared. The beautiful Loch Ard gorge The London Arch. Funny story: This used to be called London bridge because the rock island was actually connected to the mainland by a 'bridge' of rock. In 1990 it collapsed and caught two visitors on the newly formed island. They had to be rescued by helicopter and the story was all over the news. Turns out the visitors were a man and his mistress and due to the media, his wife now knew about the affair as well.  Hard to see, but this is lak...

I spent 10 days in Melbourne. I liked it because with all the parks, little alleys, the beach nearby and easy transportation by tram it is no problem to get away from the crowds and the hustle of a big city.  It has lots of good food and many interesting things. The city lived up to its rumour of having all four seasons in one day. I would wake up to 37 degrees celcius, have rain and storm in the afternoon, just to experience 'arctic cold', as some Australians would call it, the next morning - 15 degrees.  Melbourne is famous for its street art. You'll come across some amazing graffiti! St Kilda - the beach of Melbourne With Jasmijn and her family relative who lives in Melb, I went to the Yarra valley for wine tastings. This normally wouldn't be exactly my thing but I had a great day trying all kinds of Aussie wine, having lots of technical wine terms thrown at me that I had no idea about and seeing beautiful landscapes! And I even ...

It is quite incredible that the Blue Mountains, a peaceful, quiet and stunning mountain range, are to be found just a short 2-hour train ride away from busy Sydney. I spent three days hiking up to 6 hours a day and I absolutely loved it! The best thing to do is to get off the shorter, typical trails that most tourists take and head down into the valleys - bring lunch and snacks, and you will have a wonderful day with the forest, waterfalls and views mostly to yourself. The famous Three Sisters Thanks for the motivation Jurgen from the Netherlands who I met on my first day hiking. One of the more challenging trails At the bottom of the Wentworth falls I met Jasmijn in Yamba, she was only in the mountains on a day trip, so we met up and did a hike to the Wentworth falls To my mother's horror I got a nose piercing. I, however, love it. Sunset
