Hello!
What’s up?
So, following up on my previous article, I jumped in Henry’s minibus on Monday the 4th in the morning with 4 Finnish girls. Henry had posted an ad on a Finnish group. As you can imagine the Finnish was particularly present in conversations 🙂
The trip went very well. Henry is a really good guy, wise, patient and friendly. He is Finnish. He lived for about 25 years in New-Zeland and he has been living in Australia for a couple of years now. He has been living exclusively in Vans for about 10 years. We had nice conversations about pretty much everything.
The girls had just arrived in Australia and it was their very first time camping every day in the bush. As was the case during my previous roadtrips, we shared the fuel and the food. We shared the driving with Henry as well. Basically, we took the time to live, we stopped at nice places, we shared good meals and talks.
It was such a relaxing trip and that was perfect for me. Actually I couldn’t walk and do that much. On the second day I accidentally cut my left heel and got 7 stitches. I had to do with crutches for almost 2 weeks and believe me that sucks. It was nice to have the girls, they were adorable, cooking and taking care of me 🙂
The roadtrip lasted 1 week to get to Brisbane. On the last day, the girls were so excited to be in Brisbane that we darted from rainbow beach to Brisbane nonstop. For my part I was not really thrilled to be in Brisbane with my crutches but Henry offer me to stay longer with him until my foot was completely healed.
We went a bit southern to the Golden bay and spent almost 1 week getting around. Our main preoccupation was to find a place to stay by the time it got dark.
On Saturday, as we went back to Brisbane, I decided to jump off. I had gotten rid of my crutches the day before!
I’ll stay here until next Friday. I’d like to take the time to wander in the city and see some of the sights. I plan to be back in Cairns by the end of the week or the beginning of the next one. I have to find some work there and I want to catch-up with someone.
See you soon!
