Melbourne ZOO

Here it comes, the post about the really cool animals that is just 5 minutes (!) from my home! So cool that I can hear the lions (think it is the lions) being fed by the caretakers at the ZOO. So, Christian and I went there on a nice and sunny day, was walking around and suddenly they announced that it was only ten minutes left before closing! What!? Yep, we had been looking at the animals for 5.5h and still hadn't seen all of them. We missed all the reptiles and the hippopotamus :( How could that happen.... Oh well, I guess I'll have to go there some other day. Anyway, wont let you read my crap, here's some pics!


Wallabee! So cute.


Echidna. Sounds like Enchilada... Always tend to mix those words... :)
I also saw one of them on our camping trip later on... cool as.


Some weird dude


Man, that haircut... 


Tigerrrrr...


Lions!


Chillaxing in the sun... lazy ones....


Ohh, some cool dude in sunglasses <3


Good swimmers.

Yep, that's it folks. More to come, New Years Eve next. A bit late, but what the hell... Ciao!

Thoughts on a tram...

Been thinking a lot lately, about life (oh man, this is gonna be deep) in general. Here I am, in Melbourne living the dream. Got the work-placement I wanted, the adventure I so desired for but still (!) it feels like something is missing. I thought, with Jose Gonzales streaming in my headphones, sitting on the tram and looking out the window, that life is like a stew (ok, I'm not crazy even you might think so at this point, please don't judge me just yet :D ). In a stew you put your best ingredients in and all of them is necessary to make the best stew. So, where will I take this. I have the best place and tools to make my stew; Melbourne is fantastic! Sunny and warm, best housemates, beautiful, cool animals, really good wine and so on. So what is missing is some of the very important ingredients, my friends and family! They are, unfortunately, on the other side of the world. I have some very nice tasty 'ingredients' in Melbourne, but I want all of them. Difficult...
Guess, my main reason with this post is that I actually should write a little bit more about what is happening here in Mel, and also what is going on in my head. A bit scary, must admit. Anyway, you should challenge yourself and that is what I'm doing just now, by posting this. Thoughts on a tram...

The Yarra Valley Winetour

Ok, so the day after the Tree Adventures we went to the Yarra Valley Wine-tour, amazing! Amazingly good wine and good company of course!  Here is a pic to show how excited we all were in the morning, hungover. So pepp... not.


Isabell & Christian!

Well, it wasn't the best idea to play cards and have 4 bottles of wine and Gin & Tonic the day before, but it all worked fine in the end, when we had tried aprox. 15-20 different kinds of wine. 


Beautiful Landscape!

Next post will be about the Melbourne ZOO, cool animals! Bye for now!

Tree Adventure!

Already end of January and I have been up to heaps of stuff! Isabell came back to Melbourne again, after being in Sydney, Gold Coast and Tasmania! Loved to have her back in the house... Almost like a small Swedish family as Christian had his holiday here as well, on the other side of the world. Happy times! We went to this tree adventure, which was awesome! So much fun, although my muscles were aching a lot the week (!) after. Didn't know those muscles even existed! Anyway here's some pics!

Me and Isabell!


Skateboard in the air, really hard actually. 


Some well deserved food. 


Isabell and Christian!


Christian :)

The day after we went on a winetour down to Yarra Valley, it was really nice. Not such a good idea to have 4 bottles of wine the day before though, but after the first glasses of wine on the tour it started to be enjoyable again :) More about that in next blogpost! 'Den som väntar på något gott...' Ciao!
