A small update on our new life so far

Monday, Oct 22nd 2012

It’s now 7 o’clock in the afternoon (the Internet is down right now so when I get to post this it will be later, or maybe even tomorrow), we’re relaxing in bed after a long walk around Brisbane (including a little shopping spree at KathmanduJ) . Today we have been looking for a campervan all morning, sending so many e-mails that when people answered we didn’t remember which car was which. Tomorrow we will decide what to do next with the replies we got. We’re too tiered to think straight now… J

Yesterday, Oct 21^st we went to Stradbroke Island. We spent some perfect hours on the beach and were finally able to swim in the sea without freezing to death (the water is very cold in Norway, especially on the west-coast where we lived). It was a long journey to get there; first we had to take the train to Cleveland (1 hour), then a short bus-ride to the ferry and then we took the Gold Cats-ferry to Stradbroke Island (23 min) and then, finally, the bus again to get to the beach (maybe 30 min or so). On our way home I actually fell asleep on the train, and I didn’t even sleep on the 7 hour 40 min flight from Singapore to Brisbane so I’m not the one who can sleep anywhere, but I was so tiered and worn out after a long day in the sunshine, I just couldn’t help it. It was a wonderful day and the long journey made us more eager to get our own car so that we’ll be able to stay at, or at least close to the beach all the timeJ
