Ladies and Gentlemen, we are now ushering in the second month of the new year and all that it holds in ways of travelling. I haven´t quite hit the two month exactly but it´s coming around the corner and I feel a resurgence of energetic spirit and can I just say it? I´m hella excited!!! Thus far my February has been cold and grey but fun nonetheless. I spent a day at the coldest beach I´ve ever seen, nearly drove myself off a mountain, navigated through a snowstorm on back country roads in the dark, and crossed the border into the much-more-foreign land of Spain. All in a week´s work! But I suppose that is getting a little ahead of myself. I will backtrack. After my disappointing, or rather anticlimactic experience in Provence, I chose to ... read more

Hi everyone, I'm in the south of France close to Beziers. The area is absolutly magnificente. Between the sun, the feria, the beaches, the wonderfull landscapes, this is a place to go. I visited Roquebrun and its mediteraneen garden: a beautifull garden with a stunning view. I walked around the Ensure's oppidum. I had no idea what an oppidum was, so I googled it and it's a town from the roman time. I walked to the little church of Notre Dame des Auzils, with again some gorgeous views. I've done some kayak on the river Orb: a lot of fun, really relaxing time and again a nature absolutly exquisite. Obviously I've been to the Feria in Beziers. That was my first time there and I'll definitly do it again! Music, dance and drinks (not too much...) ... read more

Beziers is a biggish town only 20min away from our village. It’s not the nicest town around its pretty old and run-down. They have a shopping centre there which is mostly outside but still reasonably nice. We went there a few times although the shops aren’t that great. Not a lot were even clothes shops. They had some nice restaurants on the top floor in the shade were we had lunch a few times. Another thing which was near Beziers was the canal de midi which was a series of seven locks that took the boats up twenty-one metres and took about half an hour. We arrived just in time to see two boats go up it. It was actually really interesting to watch. The boats had set times they were able to come through the ... read more

Australien - Letzter Akt Die Bedeutung der Arbeit in meinem Leben nimmt ab und das Private wird wichtiger. Die Zeit in Australien wurde immer kuerzer und langsam begannen sich Dinge zu veraendern. Immer mehr liebgewonnene Arbeitskollegen haben begonnen ihre weiteren Wege - Wege von Melbourne hinaus - zu gehen. Jeder Freitag ein Abschliedsfreitag, James; Gary; Suzanna; Cate und irgendwann dann ich. Einen Kurztrip nach Sydney habe ich in meiner vorletzten Woche noch mitgenommen. Vier Tage Sonne (in Melbourne war ja tiefster Herbst); Botanischer Garten; Strandspaziergaenge; Kochen und neue Leute und Lieben. Ach ja und ein paar (viele) Haare hab ich in Manly gelassen. Eine letztes Dinner und ab an den Flughafen mit vielen Traenen; Erinnerungen und Vorfreude. Australia - Last Act The meaning of work in my life declines and other things gain more importance. Time ... read more
