wayfarers -

Hellooooooooo!!

Today is just another cloudy day in Cairns. It's still rain season and even if it don't rain all the time it feels like it's on it's way. Yesterday the sun was actually out and I was laying by the pool for a while!
Today we were supposed to go to a job agency and ask if they had anything but since neither Malin or Emily felt very well we didn't go so now we have something to do tomorrow morning!
But tomorrow we actually did something good, we went to the cinema with a group of people from the hostel and saw the movie Kick-Ass! That was a really good movie, way better than I expexcted with Mc Lovin from Superbad and Nicolas Cage!
And we're thinking of leaving Cairns and go to Darwin and since I'm sick of flying and missing out on things on the way we're looking for people who have spare seats in their car. it would be so fun going on a big road trip and do something different for a change!!
I tried to upload some photos after mums request but the computer won't find my camera.... Maybe next time!

Love Sandra

7 months and 5 days later...

I dunno if I wrote it before but we get free internet on this hostel but only if we use the hostel computers so I hop you guys don't mind that it's English again..!
Not much is going on here, we're still looking for work, all the farms we call just say that they'll need people in two weeks. Yesterday we registered with a job club in town, we'll see what we can get from there! And if we won't find farm work here we might go to Darwin or somewhere else, we don't plan anything and I have no clue where I'll be in a week from now!
This new hostel is great, all the people are very welcoming and even if it's a party hostel it's very easy to have a quiet night like tonight! And tomorrow it's an all you can eat bbq with amazing steak, lamb, chicken and sausages of course so tomorrow we'll be sitting outside with our food and eat as much as we can! And on Saturday a friend of Malin from Sydney is coming up and in a week or so mine and Emilys friends from Melbourne will come up here and look for work with us(so yes we have friends!)!!
I'll try to write again soon when something fun is happening or when I know what we'll do!

Love Sandra

Kuranda

Today I was laying by the pool in the hostel, tryign to catch up with my lost tan and suddely it started raining! It's still rain season here but it's so warm so when it's just a small rain I don't mind but cant I have one day of tanning without getting wet?
Yesterday me (Sandra), Emily and Liam (a guy from the hostel) went to the little rainforest village Kuranda. Since we're poor backpackers we took the local bus up and saved about $35 on not taking the scenetic train. Kuranda is really small and full of tourists but it wasn't crowded at all yesterday! We had a look in the markets and then took a walk to Barron Falls, it was 3 k away and in the heat it wasn't the easiest walk but I need to get fit again! The falls were beautiful so the walk would have been worth it anyway!

Cairns baby!!

Hello from Cairns!!
I'm still not using our cute little Swedish laptop so I'll just keep writing on English!
Me and Malin are now together again here in Cairns!! We started in a hostel called Global Central but that one didn't have the right feeling so today we moved in to a hostel called Asylum and so far this is very good!!
Cairns is very small and we have seen the whole city but not the reef or the rainforest yet, we gonna go with Emily and another girl on a bus tour that takes us through the rainforest and stoppes by waterfalls where we can swim! (We might upload some pics from that later...)
Our goal here in Cairns was to find a fruit farm to go and work on and we'll probably go to a basil farm in Mareeba 1hr outside Cairns, but the season doesn't start until 1.5-2 weeks so until then well just stay here in a cheap hostel and eat free meals every day!
Tonight the hostel has an all you can eat $4 bbq and they will make steak so I'm counting down the hours to dinner! Plus they have free internet so we'll maybe write more on the blog!!
Love Sandra

Nu ska jag lämna Sydney!

Planerna ändrades för mig. I sista sekunden så ändrades sif farmaren och sa att han bara ville ha en person så ingen av oss ville då åka. Så ännu en gång satt jag och visste inte vad jag skulle göra. Så jag bokad helt enkelt en biljett till Cairns och imorgon flyger jag upp dit och möter upp Sandra igen så det ska bli kul!

Behöver verkligen lämna detta ställe nu, allt är så jobbigt, det gör ont att vara här just nu så det ska bli väldigt skönt att lämna Funk House. Fast att det känns jobbigt det också, kommer antagligen aldrig mer komma tillbaka och många människor som jag aldrig kommer se igen, blä.
Nervös också över att jag ska flyga alldeles ensam imorgon, helt jäkla ensam och jag som är så rädd för att flyga, det här blir ett stort steg för mig!

cheers

I'm leaving!!

Now my life is a little more sorted out... Tomorrow me and my friend Emily are going up to Cairns and from there we gonna sort out our life a little more. Maybe a sweet little roadhouse or a pub on the countryside or a farm to do some fruit picking!
Melbourne is very very cold now and I'm hoping to improve my tan a little when I get up north because there is no way I'm laying on the beach in this weather!!
Take care all you people back at home!!
Love Sandra

Hej då Sydney

Så uppdatering igen.

Imorgon lämnar jag Sydney, äntligen, känns dom det är dags nu! Drar till en farm 12 timmar från Sydney med en tjej från hostlet som heter Ashley. Behöver pengar nu, det börjar bli kris.

Det händer annars inte så mycket här borta, det är rätt dött här på hostlet de flesta är borta. Det känns lite tråkigt att lämna Sydney faktiskt, älskar denna stad! Men det kan ju hända att jag kommer tillbaka igen, får se. Hoppas att få mitt second year visa så att jag kan stanna ett år till, skulle inte vara helt fel faktiskt.
I alla fall, ikväl blir det party innan vi drar imorgon, jippi!

Läger in en gamal bild på mig och Jo i Melbourne.

Pictures from the last week!

Our nice little holden that didn't last much longer after we took this pics, then we got the car from Wolf Creek after us.. The road trip ended in a little bar in Lorne waiting for the taxi!

Sightseeing in Melbourne with some ppl from the hostel and then some cheap beer later!

Happy Easter!!

I'm so sick of not having the Swedish letters and the text looks weird wothout them so I hope everyone understands my English and I'm sorry for if I spell something wrong!
The last week have been amazing, it's the most weird easter of my life and me and Robert have met many new people at the hostel so we're now a big crazy group that does everything together.

On the Saturday me, Robert and our two friends Martin and Nadine rented a car and since we were quite late with the rental they only had a convertible left but we didn't mind, how cool isn't it to do the Great Ocean Road with a car like that?! We left Saturday morning and went straight to the twelwe apostles, that was amazing, massive rocks sticking up from the ocean and the drive is one of the most beautiful in the whole world! Then we went to the Otway National park wich have a really nice rain forest! After going out from that one the little lamp in the car for the battery came up, we decided to just keep driving and the battery will be charged. But when we stopped at a lookout the car wouldn't start again, after a while we got help to start it with some jump starters and we were going to drive straight home to St Kilda but since the light failed us and the steering went weird we decided to stop in a little town called Lorne. We left the car there and managed to take a taxi back home after a few hours in the little town! First we weren't going to get a taxi until 2am but we found another one with a driver who looked like santa claus, the most expensive taxi ride of my life, it costed $250!

Otherwise we haven't done anything special, Monday we had a big bbq with some friends here in Home, we had some lovely burgers!! And on the Tuesday we went for sightseeing in the city and the botanical gardens with a group of friends from the hostel! Today has been a quiet day, both me and Robert have caught a cold.. We'll see what will happen tomorrow, no plans so far!

Enjoy the pictures, I tried to upload more but the computer wont let me...

Bondi

Vädret har varit väldigt roligt idag.

Först var det så varmt att jag svor över att jag hade långbyxor på mig. Sen blev det svin kallt och jag svor över att jag inte hade en tjockare tröja på mig. Sen började det regna och jag svor över att jag inte hade ett paraply med mig. Jag väntade på att det skulle börja snöa, men tack och lov, det kom ingen snö.

Har i alla fall varit över hos Ian och Jo idag och tittat på deras lägenhet. Riktigt avundsjuk, dom har utsikt över Bondi Beah från deras sovrum! Jag vill också bo så! Vi tog i alla fall en promenad ner till stranden och åt lunch tillsammans, gick sedan tillbaka till lägenheten och satt och prata och tittade på tv.

Så min dag har varit bra, måste nog ta det lugnt ikväll, har haft lite för många party kvällar i rad nu, men det är så hostellivet ser ut!
