Adelaide - Beach, cleaning and concert after Clipsal 500 race

Cheerio friends,

It is VERY busy in Adelaide. The Fringe Festival (artist and fun etc), the Adelaide Festival (music) and the Clipsal 500 (V8 racing) are in town. I only got into a 10-bed-female dorm but at least it is very central. And I get to know many people in a very short time.

Together with Eva, Sébastien, Teresa, Pauline and Holly we got by tram to Glenelg where the beach of Adelaide is situated.

Adelaide - Free concert for Adelaide Festival

Hello world,

On Friday morning when I thought that my back would kill me we drove off from the camping ground at 9:15am to be too early at the ferry terminal in Penneshaw. We waited for the 10:30am ferry, boarded and were told to expect some rough sea and better sit in the back of the ferry. Luckily we really moved to the back of the ferry as it was going up and down a lot and I actually felt a bit sea-sick.

Melbourne - QVM and free MSO concert with friends

Cheers everyone,

On Saturday morning I woke up at 7:30am to get ready to meet my friends Elina and Karlis! They are from Melbourne but living in Bremen now. As they knew I was here as well while they are visiting their families and friends they invited me to come along with them to some grocery shopping at the Queen Victoria Market. It was really busy there at 9:30am but we managed to get everything of their list by 11am. After that we walked to Hardware Lane for some coffee, cappuccino and Chinotto.

 

 Then we decided to have kind of a second breakfast instead of lunch.

Melbourne - Garden, Treasury, Organ concert, casino

Hi there,

You are probably getting sick of reading more about Melbourne but it has so much to offer. And I am kind of stuck here if you will because my friends from Melbourne who live in Bremen now are here to visit their family and friends. I will meet them this weekend. So although I have already decided to not look any more for a job in Melbourne I will stay here until after this weekend and then travel on further. Therefore I am going to make the best of my time here and discover this city which was voted several times as one of the most liveable cities in the world. You have everything: business, art, culture, sport, science, tourism, lots and lots of events in a fabulous laidback and still kind of European atmosphere.
