G'day everyone!

Ok, so I figured that if I'm not going to post anything this very second, it's not going to happen any time soon. So here we go then, a very short update of what I've been through so far! Not everything is going to be mentioned though, because then I would run out of internet balance and this computer will automatically log out and then I would be seriously frustrated. So...

Man, so much has happened. Where to start? This is going to be a really messed up post haha, I'm so confused and I'm actually keeping a journal, but I left it upstairs. Yeah, I'm talking bull now. Let's get to business!

I'm in Sydney at the moment, everything is awesome! The city is huge, to get around you really have to take a bus. I didn't though, because I'm really trying to save some money. Took the bus once, to the beach! Yeah, if would have walked that distance, people would have to scrape me off the floor with a shovel. Went to the Congee beach.. Man, so beautiful. Packed with people (just as packed as Bondi was), but slightly less crowded. Loved it.. The water was so beautifully coloured, the sand so white, the weather was perfect and the seagulls were at their best behaviour haha. That was truly relaxing. So glad that the weather cleared up; it was pouring in the city for a couple of days.. Not really a warm welcome! But Sydney has made it up with me for sure. I've seen the Opera House ofcourse, which was great. Couldn't believe that I actually saw the Opera House, I even touched it, yoohoo! Really, everything around me feels so surreal. I'm seeing such beautiful things and am experiencing the most wonderful things. Australia really is such an amazing country. I mean I've expected great things to happen, but this is beyond. I don't want to go back guys..

Today I went to the Blue Mountains, which was absolutely awesome. The Three Sisters were astonishing, the Katoomba Falls and the Wenthworth Falls were spectacular and everything around it was just.. So nice.
I've touched a koala bear! Haha, and I've fed and pet some kangaroos and wallabies. Adorable. I love this  sleepy stoned look these koala bears have.. Makes me want to take one home to snuggle with all day.
At the end of the day we went on a cruise across the Parramatta river: you could see the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge from the boat and it was even more spectacular in the warm light of the setting sun.

And Melbourne.. Ha, Melbourne oh Melbourne. My journey has taken some unexpected turns, that's for sure. I absolutely loved Melbourne and I think the city liked me too. The vibe hanging in the air was wonderful. Enjoying ''short macs'' in the mornings at Queen Victoria Market, chatting with amazing people, meeting amazing people, simply wondering around the streets, seeing fantastic graffiti in the alleys..  Melbourne was extremely charming and had so much character. Not that Sydney doesn't have character though, it's just that Melbourne.. Ah well, I'm starting to mumble again. I just loved it.
So I've also done the Great Ocean Road during my stay in Melbourne.. Man! No words can describe what I've seen. The Twelve Apostles.. Oh heavenly goodness! That was truly mesmerizing haha. I've taken a helicopter flight over those damn Apostles and that was just.. Damn.

Oh yeah, Bali! I promised to tell you all about Bali! Shoot, running out of time I see. So I've fallen in love with Bali too haha. I really envy the culture those beautiful people have. Praying with flowers, their clothes, this language of their own.. FIVE MINUTES! Ok, I'm going to have to do this some other time. Bali was great, sunset was magical, so were the people and everything on the island.

I love you all,
Florencia
