Arrghhh i hardly got time to catch up with my travel reports and the things im seeing every day. This report today is gonna be a bit shorter. 2 days ago I visited Petra which was AMAZING. The entrance fee was quite high (21 JD which is similar to euros). They offered discounts for students who own a students card and unfortunately i left mine at home (i somehow always forget things when going travelling) After trying my luck without a students card i was informed that i had to pay the 21 jordanian denars... I paid the amount but then [View Full Entry]

"assalum alikum assalamu alikum.. " haha this is the music that plays here right now. Last night i arrived here in Jordan but before writing about my time here i have to catch up a bit with the past days when i didnt get the time to write... Went snorkelling near dahab at a place called "the blue hole" it was AMAZING!! Started the snorkelling from the coast and swam along the reef to the outer edge. On the right side it was all BLUE BLUE BLUE while on the other side you could see intact corals populated by al sorts [View Full Entry]

Here i am back in this cosy internet cafe right by the sea with a view to saudi arabia. It is still very windy but the wind is not uncomfortable. Yesterday I walked along the water to a place called "blue lagoon" which was about 1 hour walk. I ended up staying there almost the whole day because it was so lovely. The water was shining in turquoise-bluish colors and the water was so clear. In the evening I went for dinner to a bedouin place directly at the water. This place has pillows arranged around small tables, candlelight and if [View Full Entry]

(Im not saying this out of holiday-beginning-enthusiasm, within a few hour ive experienced things i never seen before) People are soo sooo loveable and hospitable! Right now Im in the net cafe in dahab (sinai peninsula) right at the ocean. Theres a wind blowing in here but its so pleasant. The temperature at the arrival was 39 in the sahde but honestly it doesnt feel like almost 40 as the heat [View Full Entry]

Getting ready...

 Europe » Germany » Hessen » Frankfurt
Yayyyyyyy i can almost count the hours already... Over the past days it felt like my whole trip was falling apart.. plans didnt end up working out, some people I was going to meet will not be there anymore. I felt like cancelling it all and but thanks to my great friend my enthusiasm about the trip returned back. We had a looong chat on the phone and after that the world was sunny again :o) Tomorrow one of my friends is going to pick up my computer so when I return from my trip win98 will finally belong to the [View Full Entry]

5 days to go....

 Europe » Germany » Hessen » Frankfurt
Today the "wanderlust" hit me with its full intensity... It started when i got ready this morning and so I've been enthusiastically preparing a few more things today I had to do before my departure. I just returned from having lunch in town and on my way all the excitement changed into a mixed feeling. I have to admit I'm feeling quite anxious at the time, but the more i analyze this feeling the more I see that there aren't founded reasons to feel like that. It's kind of the feeling when your in a rollercoaster and its going slowly to [View Full Entry]

In only 7 more days at exactly this time I'll arrive in Sharm el Sheikh. The excitement grows with every day and I kinda go through ups and downs. One day I feel so happy and excited.. the next day I even feel a bit anxious. But I guess this is a normal feeling when youre travelling into the unknown... There are still so many things I have to do before my departure. At least I've got my ticket and new passport now. Today I will pay some bills and will scan my tickets/Passport etc. Hopefully I dont forget anything... [View Full Entry]

It seems like yesterday since I took off and left this beautiful country and my dear friends there. In fact I left a home behind... Oh by the way I know by now that in Australia u don't fall off the earth and that you dont even notice that youre living a life headfirst. And I know now that you dont instantly get bitten by venomous spiders and snakes once you step off the plane :D haha These pictures all each tell their own stories and are dedicated to those beautiful times we had together. I'll be back! FOR REAL!! :-) [View Full Entry]
