On the way
Well... we drove out of LPC, got about 50 meters.. then realized we needed a picture sry we havent updated the last couple of days, but we have spend loads of time in the confrences...
And we honestly havnt taken that many pictures, since we have spend pretty much all the time on Long Point Camp.
Anyways, as im writting this we are on the way to brisban, actually im on a motel in a place called Cougf's Harbor
(I think).. !
Well abit about what we have been doing.!
Well as far as I remember, (doing this in notepad cuz we dont have internet here, so I cant check what the last we wrote)
Anyways the last think I remember I wrote about was the kids day at LPC! So ill take it from there.!
The next day must be the 8th, which means meeting in the evening... which meant we had the entire day for ourself..!
So we figured we could play a soccer match... well me and anders needed soccer boots... so we went to a store
buying cheap but really good soccer boots .. and when we got back all of em was there waiting for us ... and the
weather was perfect for soccer, so we had a good 2 x
On the Way
Found a bit cliff... nice view 30 min match .. ! (where my team won... yay) ! Then as I wrote
in the evening meeting, and afterwards, which they do alot down here, theres supper means .. crackers snacks and such!
and then you stay up to about 1-2 am !
Next day official start of meetings... theres 2 meetings a day, one at 11 am and one in the evening at around 7.30!
So first day we spend like that ..! Where we played loads of vollay ball... or if it was to hot, inside playing
table tennis, pool etc!
Next day, there was a babtism and 4 ppl got babtist.. and ofc meeting in the morning and evening aswell, and
again loads of vollay, table tennis and pool etc!
Last day was youth day, with a morning meeting and evening meeting... ! Between the meetings they had planned a
youth trip to the beach, where we spend about 2-3 hours svimming, playing beach volley.. etc! Then for dinner
(I might add that every dinner is included in the price we payed for the stay at LPC) anyways we had big BBQ dinner.
With sausage's burgers etc... so good !
On the Way
Found a sugar field... ! Wanted to taste it... wasnt quite rdy yet so ;) Today Saturday.. We had 2 cars hired, for our long 13 hours trip to Brisbane ...
We got the cars, about 10 min before the store closed, so we are on a lucky strike .. we started driving at about 1.30
after we have said goodbye to all the ppl we have meet at LPC .. some we might never see in a couple of years or even
more. Anyways on the way, which started pretty good... we havent missed an exit so far.. and we are about 6-7 hours
from where we started.! and about 5-6 hours from our destination Brisban.! Today was also the first day I drove a car
in the left side, not as hard as it sound about an hour late it feels normal, and you dont really think about it anymore
Atm we are in a place called Coughfs Harbour or something like that, where we drove about 1 hour to find a place to
crash, when we finally was lucky and found a motel called Ocean Parade, got a big 5 ppl room (we are 10.. shzz) for
about 140 Dollar a night, this is very cheap... all other places was at
least twice the price, for rooms that a worse
than this, far worse..! We got ocean view ... the biggest room in the motel ... and we feel like kings on the beach!
Well we arrived at this place, and first thing we did was going out and find some food (basic human instinct)!
We took the pizza (Basic guy choice) to the place we lived, eated and figured a svim wouldnt be bad ... (time 00.05 am)
we got down to this beautiful beach... where after 2 min all the lads where in... ... 😉 .. anyways we are back from the beach ... and I hope I
have a chance to upload this sometime tomorrow .. with some pictures hopefully 😉 .. anyways bye and cu next time...
Yhelo... So we are about 9 days later its monday the 21th... we are in melbourne at the family Siow! such a hospitable
family, its so good being here. Anyways what we have done the last couple of days..
Sunday, we got up early having a nice breakfast at the motel, Bacon.. eggs .. so on 😉 b-e-a-utiful.!
Anyways, the day before we did decide if
Brisbane
... Birthday Celebration... the weater was good we would stick around, unfortunatly it wasnt.. so we
kept going north..! We decided, we wouldnt wanna spend more money on motels, so we decided having a big party on
the beach.. so we went to a shopping mall ... spend about 200 dollars on food, *cough* water *cough*.. ! and all they
other stuff we needed.. ! So we found this beautiful beach, (pictures added), and stayed the night.. !
Monday we headed to brisbane, we got there around dinner time.. ! And we knew this guy called matthew, who had some
work in brisbane.! It was Clemens birthday, so we and the guy matthew went to a outdoor restaurant.. Good food,
a bit expensiv.. but it was good. we only stayed for a couple of hours, cuz it was late and we needed sleep... we
found this "national park" around Brisbane.. and decided it would be good enough... (pictures added)
Tuesday we went to a Australia Zoo .. the Steve Irwing Zoo.. ! It was so good, every square meter was used perfectly.
and were there to around 4-5 pm, seeing all the cros, even saw a show. about preserving the wildlife!
Australian Zoo
Arriving at Australian Zoo I can strongly
recommend every to pay a visit to that zoo! After that we headed to Brisbane again, finding a remote beach to catch
some more sleep 😉 (gotta love sleep) .. Btw, you might seem abit weird we dont much during the days, but going to
the places includes loads of traveling, somewhere around 2-3 hours of travel!
Wednesday, again we woke up early... we were heading to a theme park, this one called Wet'n'wild.. ! It was
surprisingly bad, after 2-3 hours we were all so dissappointed, that we decided to get kicked out 😉 .. so we did..!
Anyways, we had the rest of the day to do stuff, so we decided a BBQ is always a good way to spend a evening.. so a
BBQ it was.. we headed south of Surfers Paradise to a hill, made for BBQ.. such a good night.. !
Thursday, we had booked a hotel room on a beautiful resort, called Tangalooma Dolphin Resort.!
We dumbed the cars, and took a taxi to the Brisbane harbour! It took about an hour from the harbour.. and trust
when I saw that was an amasing sight.. ! It looked sorta
Australian Zoo
Crocodile show like those islands, that only see in catalogue's.. it was
amasing! So we got there pretty early, and decided a snorkling trip, among the wreckage's north of the resort, wouldnt
be a bad idea! We spend about an hour or two snorkeling around, seeing fishes .. sharks (small once).. and so on!
After we spend the rest of the day, chilling on the beach!
Friday, we had a whole day on the beach, so everyone did basically what they felt like! some went snorkeling, others
wanted to play Volleyball, so basicly a day of fun, and relaxing.. that same day it was Alan's birthday, and Emmanuel
had to leave the next day, so we celebrated going to a buffet dinner, about 30 dollars each! So not bad at all, and
the food was great!
Saturday, another day of just being the sun chilling on the beach ... playing volleyball and saying goodbye to the
beautiful resort!.. we left at about 8 pm, right after the dolphin feeting.!
We headed to Brisbane, wondering where to sleep.. so we got a taxi, got dropped of at a Maccy's (Mc Donald) got
some food, and headed to a soccer field... and
Australian Zoo
Koala touching ;) slept 😉 !
Sunday, the day to leave queensland.. ! We woke up early.. and headed for the same Maccy's, getting some breakfast
(all over a pretty healty trip), anyways after that we took a taxi to Brisbane's Botanicly garden, and pretty spend
the whole days sleeping and ..... well sleeping! At around 7 pm we headed to Brisbane's airport .. and went to
Melbourne, got there at around 2 am.. and went to bed at around 3 am!
MONDAY ... MELBOURNE...
We woke up at around 12 am 😉 .. ! and thats basicly it ... im sitting here in the Siow's living room, writting this
text in Notepad.. and in about an hours time ill be outside, eating a good BBQ dinner!
So this is the trip, maybe will get updated one more time in the airport Melbourne .. but so far so good ... and ill
cu all soonish 😉 BYE
