Mel's wedding

It was my third wedding I went to in my long life so far, but my first australian one. It was a great wedding. I want to thank Mel and Cameron for this organization and for being not sooo kitchy. It was amazing. I have never seen sooo happy people, especially such a happy couple. Just this natural happiness. Here the proof:

Sorry Mel, but I have to say it: the bride and the groom

Me or Mel is dizzy? ;)

A traditional wedding cake!

A fresh married woman and me! :)

As I already mentioned this wedding was a big success. And I wish u all the best. I am sure you will make it through this tough life, as you already did the last couple of years.

I hope we can have some nice dinners with some nice conversations about our preferred philosophies, KungFu and StarWars!!! :) Enjoy your honey-moon!

girls trip

Before my two favourite female housemates will leave me alone here we organised a trip to Burleigh Heads and Purling Brook Falls. And? Yep, well done! We had a lot of fun. Here some impressions:

• Burleigh Heads:

Anja and Karin after the first 100m still in a good mood :)

... and after the next 100m :D

A tree and me

cooling down the feet after the walk. (we still have winter!)

• Best of All Lookout (south of Springbrook Nationalpark)
  

Full of vim after the picnic with selfmade "Klopse" to a view of northern New South Wales called "Best of All Lookout"

Passing the Antarctic beech forest, a remnant link to a past cooler climate

There it is! What can I say! What you see is the border between Queensland and New South Wales. I found this amazing!

The dominant mountain is the Mt Warning - the lava plug centre of the erosion caldera of the extinct Tweed Shield volcano.

It was really cold.

• Purling Brook Falls Circuit - a 4km walk through open Eucalypt forest of New England.
  

Back in the sun with the Purling Brook Falls in the background.

On the top of the waterfall - fantastic view

• Mt Tamborine - on the way home we tried to catch the lookout and we made it just on time for the most beautiful sunset
  

Beautiful isn't it? I mean the sun! ;)

The last one is the one I really like most!

Finally, we had a great day. I was happy to drive us home in Anja's car. Because I really miss driving a car! *sniff* I like her car, just the perfect size. I still need to make a pic of it. It is a Holden Barina, a copy of a Opel Corsa (with the same defects) ;) Unfortunately Anja and Karin are leaving soon. Anja will go to Norway after 5 years of Australia and Karin will finish her Work and Holiday trip in Australia. Then I will be alone in this house with 3 crazy guys!

I don't know if I should speak about work in my blog. I don't feel like it right now, so just ask me if you want to know more. I wish you all the best and please take care! Would be nice to hear from you from time to time. :)

Mel's Hen's-night

What a nice tradition! Melissa is getting married next Saturday! So, Lynn decided to do a traditional Hen's night to give Mel a proper fairwell of being a "free" woman. We went to a nice restaurant in West-End. Lot's of wine and delicious food.

Mel really excited! :) with Mhairi and Lynn

Kelly and Lynn

Mhairi and myself, yes, already quite tipsy, and? ;)

will be continued ...
