Brisbane, you had me at hello

Here I gooooo! The end of my East Coast trip was approaching with lighting speed. Only a short drive from Noosa and I was in Brisbane. I always use bus rides for sorting out my gopro shots and finishing blog posts (if I don't get distracted :o). But this drive was the shortest of all so before I knew it, we were in the city. As usual, I grabbed my stuff and left the bus. My agency booked me a hostel and thankfully I went to check it the night before...it turned out it was this dodgy place out of the city with really bad reviews hahaha hell no, I've stayed in some interesting places, but that one just seemed too much (50 bed room?!?!?!). So I found a different one, very conveniently located just around the corner from bus station. I went to drop off my bags, put my "fake eyes" in my eyes haha and wait for Alex to pick me up! She's just one of a few camp friends that I was/ will be visiting throughout my whole trip. She took me right in the heart of the city, vibrant South bank with a lagoon and pools, bars and restaurants. It just hits me over an over again how camp brought so many beautiful peope in my life and I cannot be happier that I actually get to visit them all around the world!! Alex you're such a sunshine, thanks for a mini tour of the city and your lovely company, only wish I could've stayed longer! Until next time!! :)
I spent the rest of the day exploring South Bank by myself. I immediately fell in love with this city and all it has to offer. So much green, so much water, so clean and neat! All sunshine and rainbows until just out of the blue I figured I don't have my gopro on me...not in my pockets, not in my bag...don't panic, it might be in one of the bags in the hostel...I rushed back to check everything...only to realize I left the freaking camera on the freaking bus!!!! What an idiot. I know exactly how it happened and it is the stupidest thing. Left it on the seat and didn't see it when I left the bus (the first time I didn't triple check if I forgot something?!?!?!). What now..it was evening of Eastern Monday so of course bus office was closed. Shit....thinking of all the worst scenarios...I basically lost everything...every single video and photo that I didn't transfer...95% of my east coast memories. I nearly cried. Buuut yo, there's still a bit of hope the driver found it and took it to lost and found.....oh but that was not all, nonono, the evening was only getting "better" haha you know that feeling when you just get out of the shower, make yourself ready for bed and realize you misplaced your glasses...I know, blind people problems....but what the heck. Where did I leave them, I can't go around without them, wtfff?! .......Remember me putting my contacts in before heading out for lunch??? Yes, I left my glasses in reception toilets...and luckily they were still on the sink when I went looking for them. I mean....I'll blame it on the full moon (or maybe I was just really really tired haha). And to top things off...why not wake up in the middle of the night to some lovely sounds of your roommates having a bit of adult fun if you know what I mean....why, oh why??? #travelbrain #hostellife
Anyways, I was up very early next morning to run to the bus station and check if my gopro was hopefully brought to lost and found...Me to the lady behind the counter "I kinda forgot something on the bus yesterday..." lady: "oh, what was it?" Me: "a gopro..." lady: "ahh, hmmm, is it this?" Me (almost having a heart attack): "YAAAASSSSSS................" lady: "you're one lucky girl" ....seriously, whatever I did to deserve getting it back...it must've been something really really nice...KARMA IS NOT ALWAYS A BITCH! :) Oh my, oh my. I guess I need to start physically sticking my things on me...After the initial shock and when my hands stopped shaking I was able to calmly pack up and check out. I had a couple of hours left in the city so I went for a looong relaxing loop walk, had some lunch with a view and jumped on the train to North Lakes to spend a couple of days with family friends...unfortunately they were just coming back from vacation in north Queensland and the weather wasn't in their favour...sooo that ment a good six hour wait for me. Ofc everything was made easier when a security guy let me stay comfortably seated in a mall after they locked everything up already - "just call when you wanna get out" haha alright then :D so the hours went by and just after 9pm Milena, Igor and Iva came to pick me up. What a lovely change to spend some time with Slovenians again..felt very much like home. They fed me our Slovenia food (haven't had this much national food in a very long time!!), they showed me around their neighborhood, fed me some more, I even had my own room with oh so comfy bed. One of the highlights was definitely Australia Zoo, (used to be) home of the Crocodile Hunter himself - Steve Irvin....for those of you who don't know who he is, do the research, for those of you who do know him, congrats, your childhood was fabulously filled with his thrilling wildlife TV shows. :D the zoo is still operated by his family - wife and the kids aaand they still do crocodile shows, crikey!! Definitely a must see in Brisbane! I loved it despite a rainy day.
Annnd just like that my time in Australia came to an end...well only for the next three weeks while I jumped over the Tasman Sea to see what's on the other side. Milena kindly dropped me off at the airport, I checked in and there I was again facing the uncertainty of getting through all the checks without getting charged extra for my (to)heavy bag. Thank goodness New Zealand was expected to be colder so it wasn't too weird wearing three layers with extra jacket (with a hoodie and another long sleeved shirt tucked inside) in my arms....and I got through successfully, boom!! Only two more flights like this!
I safely landed in New Zealand...very very excited!!! But there were a couple more stops till I could finally see Georgia on the other side. I filled out the declaration form, I decided I rather throw my two apples away (suppper strict policy with bringing food in to the country)...I say I've got nothing to declare....get out through passport control...signs everywhere how you're supposed to declare everything, tick on the paper if you have any food at all or else you get fined 400$..ok I threw my apples away got in line and gave my paper to the guy...he asked more questions "you've got nothing, sure, no fruit blabla.." nop, nothing. It does make you feel very uneasy...he then gave me a stamp and sent me to another line....que for bag check. FUCK!!! ANOTHER BAG CHECK?!?!...I did not see this coming, wtffff?! Like, nowhere else are they taking this so seriously?!?! Not even America! Something in my mind didn't give me peace....things like this always make you a bit nervous to be honest... I was going through the past few days and at last I remembered I had an opened bag of uncooked pasta somewhere in my big bag that was there since I arrived to Brisbane. Omg. Shit. Shit, shit, shiiiiiiiit!!! I'm silently panicking and trying not to be too obvious. It's only pasta, right??? Aaaah, What do I do now?! Can't go back cause I've gone through pass control and the second paper check, got two stamps....no turning back now, I don't have a choice. Already thinking of the worst case scenarios...this is it....she took my paper, both my bags...here i go...I walk through and wait for the worst to hit me

....to be continued....

Jump out of a plane they said, it'll be fun they said... and "White-h(e)aven" on earth

Another bus ride down the coast and four hours later I reached Airlie Beach. This tiny little town with absolutely nothig to do but sunbathe at the lagoon or drink and eat on the main road (which is about 8min45s walk beginning to the end). After a sunny start of my EC trip I came down to some fantastic cooling showers *eyeroll*. Did not look forward to spending three days on a sailing boat in the rain!! -.- but luckily I still had more than a day and a lot of hope for the weather to change by then. Buuut, no time to think about that as it was time for me to mentally prepare for what was going to hit me tomorrow. Skydiving. Everyone who know me also know that I'm not the biggest adrenalin junkie hence I rarely do anything super crazy (no, flying trapeze is not super crazy :D). If you asked me to go skydiving half a year ago, I'm pretty sure my answer would be "hell no, never, see ya later, bye." So why on earth did I book myself a skydive?!?! Believe me, I was asking myself the same question. But seeing so many of my friends do it here on the east coast or in New Zealand, sharing their experience and preaching abou what an amazing feeling it is, they got me all excited and pumped for it and it kinda was an impulsive decision - yes, I'm doing it haha and I also didn't want to regret not trying it, that was probably my biggest motivation. So I booked my tours, paid for skydive, now there's no turning back...it was either me or quite a good portion of my money flying out of that airplane. So a couple of three dollar tacos in the hostel bar and a good night sleep should prepare me for the D day. Or so I thought. Turned out a good night sleep was not gonna happen because I was super nervous and there was a crazy raging storm happening outside. Anyways, I got up at 5, had some breakfast and met my 6am group at the skydive reception. The weather was terrible, so we already had a big delay with a group before us. we filled in some forms and were sent to wait for a callback...3hours later..the sun started to come out and we were ready to be sent to the airport. If I was nervous in the morning, by the time we actually started to get equipped, I was very much done with waiting and just wanted to get it over with asap. Because the winds were really strong over the sea and it was still pretty cloudy, we couldn't do the jump over the ocean, but we had to go the other way instead. What a bummer. I guess even my pot of luck empties from time to time. All buckled up and escorted by our instructors we made our way to the airport. (We figured out later that one of the instructors was married to a Slovenian which was super super weird haha)
Alright, ready, steady, go! My agency booked me in for a 6000ft jump. I had the option to "upgrade" to 15000ft for additional about 100 something dollars...hell no, ain't got money for that haha so I had to be the last one going in the plane and first one out...but as I was the only one for the lower jump, my instructor was like naaaah, it's your lucky day, we're gonna go all the way up to give you that full free fall from 15000ft....sure, if I'm here already, won't really make a difference to me I guess hahaha so we're in, it's raining, everyone is squished tight togeter and we're waiting...watchig the ground become a big green blop (yes the only view was grass, marvelous)...and there you are just sitting and waiting for that red light to turn on so you can put your glasses on...it's happening, no turning back now, what goes up, must come down, I sure know that from trapeze...the only way down is to fly! So the firs person out (meeeee) is ready, they open the door my instructor pushes me to the edge and adjusts the sitting position. And we wait till we reach the required height...my legs were just dangling there in the air, head back, jump position, ready...wait, wait, wait, when is it gonna be?! And then you jupm. Your stomach goes *bluuuup*, a couple of rolls around your insides, but when they release the first tiny parachute, you stop turning and you fly. You actually fly. I have never felt a sensation similar to this one ever in my life. Never. It is such a unique feeling physically and mentally that it can't be compared to anything else. You let go of everything, you're free. And I really enjoyed that feeling. Same goes with the second part after the main parachute is opened. Then you can relax and enjoy the "view". What a fantastic experience...I did it, I, me, yes meee, this chick right here!!! But I'm pretty sure I won't do it again. Once in a lifetime :)
After the jump and for the rest of the day the weather finally went back to normal and I could spend the afternoon doing absolutely nothing but sunbathing and swimming at the lagoon.
Luckily my fellow Slovenian girl Anja, whom I met in Sydney lives in Airlie, so we had to throw a proper Slovenian reunion...and let me tell you, that was certainly something that doesn't happen very often! It was Anja's last night before leaving Australia for two months so she kinda had to go have some good bye drinks with friends..so we met up at my hostel, she brought her roomie and she happens to be a Slovenian too...crazy, hey! Remember I mentioned above how one of the skydive instructors was married to a Slovenian...I told Anja and Nika the story and it turnd out we were actually on the way to their place where I met Maja and Ben the instructor (again). I mean, how small is the world?! There we were four Slovenian girls in this tiny Australian town. What are the chances?!?! We ended up having a fabulous night, especially with Maja and Ben's little exotic zoo! :) loved hanging out with fellow homies soo far away from home :) thanks guuys!!
Next morning, after all that adrenalin still running from skydive, I was more than ready for a relaxed three day sailing in Whitsunday Islands. We boarded a nice catamaran, put our main sails up and sailed away. It was a boat called Wings II and it was literally the best thing ever!! They fed us every two hours,  (haha yaas), we snorkeled, saw big George the fish, some crazy corals and we all got away with no jellyfish stings! We managed to see a fantastic sunset but the weather didn't have the best intentions for us at night. Next day was pretty gloomy, we couldn't really see much while snorkeling. But hey, it was time for our tour to Whitehaven beach and Hill inlet! Possibly one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. I only wish it was a bit more sunny so the countless shades of blue would pop out even more! First we hiked up to the lookout point Hill Inlet where you get rewarded with a breathtaking view over the whole bay. The water was so clear we could even see a mantaray swimming around! Let me throw some fun facts at you so you can imagine how fabulous this beach actually is.... #1 if you took a photo of the bay every day, none of them would look the same, cause the it changes every day. #2 as this is a national park you're not allowed to take anything off the island, especially not the sand! It is 100% silica sand and the only one who was allowed to take it was NASA for some sort of construction purposes (or so we've been told :o). #3 the sand is really good for exfoliating your sking and hair (we were all covered in it haha) and polishing real gold/silver jewelry! I know, right! After the hike we made our way down to Whitehaven, one of the most famous beaches in the world. We even got a bit of sun out! Half of the team went in the ocean for a swim but I just couldn't be bothered putting on a stinger suit so I rather went exploring the area. The sand is sooo fine it almost crumbles under your feet, such a good feeling :) of course right before we left we got stuck in this crazy raging tropical storm that was following us the whole way back to our night spot and throughout the night as well. Not the most awesome time to be on a boat haha last morning was reserved for a final snorkel even tho the water was sooo mixed up and very gloomy from the storm. We still managed to see some fabulous underwater life, buuuut no turtles :( I gotta see them turtles once!! 

What an experience this was! Wings II thanks for such a fun tour, you all are a bunch of true legends!!

(Un)Fortunately same day in the afternoon it was time for me to board a bus again and continue my journey..this one was the longest - 14,5 hour night bus to Rainbow Beach. What happened there...? Come back next time to find out! ;)

Cairns, Tropical paradise in Queensland

5,5 hours on the bus...it would be a shame if I didn't manage to put together a lousy blog post so here ya go...

Does anyone remember that time when I negotiated my east coast tour for about 500$...yup self high five right there...well the time has come and I hit the road...actually I hit the plane seat with my bum (and waaay more "hand luggage" than it's actually allowed haha) and flew to Cairns as my first of many stops along the East Coast. Between the last 8 straight working days, 6 of them being morning shifs and everyday evening farewell events you may have figured out that packing and organizing my sh*t was probably last on my to do list (which usually is not the case as I always pack everything a week in advance haha there's a first time for everything hey :D). I'm not even going to start talking about sleep deprivation...you know when you're really really tired, your brain is playing mind games with you and the next day you kind of don't really remember how things went on before going to bed? That was me on Tuesday before leaving. Thank goodness I at least packed everything I needed (probably even more, you know how girls are ;) ). Wednesday 6am, after 4hours of sleep, I was more or less ready to get on that plane and fly back to summer! Said bye to my roomies and took off. For sure my backpack weighed more than 7kg (had to pack stuff for NZ too!!) But luckily some Asians in front of me got called on the side for bag check...have I mentioned what an absolute lucky bastard I am some times?! No? Well it's out now. I am. :D got off the plane in Cairns and the tropical heat just hit me (of course I was wearing long jeans, long sleeved shirt...I mean, I had to put all heavy things on me instead of in my bag, right?!)
After a pretty expensive shuttle drive to my hostel I'm back in the "backpackers" life - long time no see mate but I haven't missed you one bit! The weather was absolutely amazing and after I changed into a more proper attire for a tropical summer (at some point, taking my skin off seemed like a very good idea...damn heat!), I was ready to rock and roll......kidding, went sunbathing at the waterfront of the Esplanade Lagoon. To my surprise, the hostel had free bbq and pizza nights alternating every second evening...how can you say no to free food? You don't, so you eat whatever they feed you. 
It's funny how I'm "on vacation" now, yet I literally won't have a day to sleep in. Besides the fact that my body clock is still on 5:30am work mode and an hour time difference, all the tours also start at approximately 7am...now do the math. But not complaining, you don't get to go to the Great Barrier Reef every day am I right?!?! :D speaking of which, that was also my firs tour. I booked a sailing trip with snorkeling and an introductory dive. To say the Reef was beyond anything I've ever seen before, is probably an understatement. At boarding, each passenger got a pair of fins, snorkeling set and stinger suits. It took us aroun an hour and a half of sailing to get to the outer reef. Time did fly by while we were listening to diving and safety instructions. Sun was out, the sky was blue and before I knew it, I was sitting on the bench all buckled up with a set of weighs around my waist and a huge oxygen bomb on my back. I have to say, firs time diving, I was a bit nervous...especially because the last time I was actually (free) diving at UNI, that did not feel very pleasant to my ears with equalizing. As you jump in the water you go through a minor panick stage (at least I did hahaha) before you realize you're actually completely fine and also...you can breathe under water...duuuh. relax, you're fine. we had to demonstrate some safety tasks at the first line before diving down to the second where you also had to equalize the pressure for the first time. So far so good. After another set of safety tasks the instructor, using hand signals, asked us if we're ready to go down. Hell yes, now or never. I took my gopro with me of course...and the funy thing was, when we got down to the bottom, the pressure squeezed it to a point where it turned on by itself and instead of taking a video it was taking photos and I couldn't turn it off hahahaha (no idea how deep we were but the camera is fine as it can go down to 10m without a case). Half hour dive and 1578 photos later....hahaha the water was a bit gloomy because of the cyclone that just went past this area a few days ago, but nevertheless, the experience was just priceless. Although I don't think I'll seek professional career in diving haha after I got saved out of all that heavy equipment, I had some time for snorkeling before lunch. Oh gosh, what an exciting world there is under water! fish, corals, sea stars, and yes I saw a shakr, a baby harmless one, but it was a shark! :D unfortunately no luck with turtles. Next time! After lunch, we sailed off to a different reef where we spent a couple of hours snorkeling again...wau, wau, wau. Speechless. We concluded the day with a lesson on marine life, the reef and the surrounding area being the rainforest. Oh how excited I was to get back to the hostel for pizza night...again, never say no to free food!!
My third day in Cairns was reserved for a trip even more to the north of Queensland - Daintree Rainforest and Cape Tribulation. First stop on the way was Mossman where we attended a traditional Aboriginal smoking ceremony, got "marked" as the tribe from this side of Daintree river and learnt a thing or two about their culture. Then we took a bus to Mossman george before driving all the way up to the middle of Daintree Rainforest, oldest continuously living rainforest in the world, literally older than dinosaurs. Mindfuck. We went on a boat tour on Daintree river, spotted some crocodiles sunbathing on the edges,  and we were fortunate enough to see a couple of days old baby crocks! Cuties. We also learnt that crocodiles don't eat smart people...and if you do get attacked/eaten by one......that's called natural selection. Sorrynotsorry. Throughout the whole drive we hoped to see some "crazy killer chickens on steroids" as our guide would call them...in other words we were hoping to spot a Cassowary (if you're not familiar with this animal, and above description doesn't stimulate your imagination, google and learn a bit about them and why you don't want to face them eye to eye hahaha). Lunch was already waiting for us when we got to Cape Tribulation, in the middle of a rainforest at a tiny camp site (no idea why anyone would want to sleep there surrounded by all those not so nice animals....). Anyways, Carl showed us a spider that knits the strongest web and how aggressively it attacks anything and everything that tuches his web thinking it's food. Pretty impressive, almost like me attacking my plate of food. :D There's one more thing Cape Trib has to offer...a stunning sandy beach where rainforest meets the ocean. But the water is infested with crocks so...if you don't want to be "naturally selected", take a photo and run away. But seriously how amazing is this place?!?!
Last thing on our agenda was a walk in the rainforest. Before entering the path, we had to listen to a "brief" Cassowary safety talk..."if he gets you with his claw, your intestines become outestines", "stay together as a group, huddle up and put me in the middle", "don't run, hide behind a tree or a meat shield (yes, he called a person a meat shield)" hahahahahaha very useful. You walk in the rainforest, thinking to yourself "whoa, this is amazng, sooo old omg" and then you realize "oh, of course, no wonder this has been untouched for so long, even the freaking plants are trying to kill you"...Carl again: "Australia needs to calm the fuck down", I agree mate, I agree! 
At the end of our trip with everyone still alive, all limbs attached, no insides out, this day was estimated as an absolute success. We hit the road back to Cairns...I don't think I have to emphasize that I was exhausted and oh so ready for bed.

I did my reef tour with Passions of Paradise and Cape Trib with Active Tropics...and just have to say how amazing, informative and absolutely hilarious all the tours itself and the guides were...especially Carl, not many people walk around the "killer" rainforest bare foot...he did, what a legend!! Definitely couldn't recommend them enough!!

Alright, three days in my east coast adventure and I've done so much already...I spent my last day in Cairns wandering around Botanical gardens where I went back to the rainforest. The weather was absolutely bonkers, almost 30 degrees outside before 9am, gosh. Chilled day ended up with a dip in Esplanade lagoon and a FREE bbq for backpackers hosted by a local church (?!?!)...I feel like the biggest lesson of this blog today is "never say no to free food" hahaha

Well it was time to pack up again and leave to the next destination...

Maybe just a few words on my spending money...Considering the fact that I pre booked and paid majority of my tour, I gave myself a budget of 500$ spending money...will I make it? I don't know...I guess we'll see?!?! At the moment...it's not looking very promising hahaha I'm going to try really hard (who are you kidding?? you're not, if they ask to pay 40$ to hold a koala, of course you're gonna do it!) - oh the daily battles of the "rational" and the "yolo" side of my brain. Which will win??? ...stay tuned :D


Sunny kisses from Down Under

P.s. sorry for no photos post, I'm currently stranded on a deserted island (I'll be happy if this goes through at all!) haha so bare with me, photos will come but feel free to catch up with things on my Instagram @dasazagar!!**

Tor 10.10.2017
Stanje pripravljenosti: aaaaaaa končno!!!! Danes se pokamo proti Featherdale wildlife parku kakšno slabo urco stran od Sydneya. Vsi smo že na trnih, ker bomo končno v živo spoznali prave avstralske živalice...kengurujčke, wallabije, KOALE...!!! Ob 9 smo zmenjeni na centralni postaji iz kjer se z vlakom podamo proti parku. Začuda ni nobene gužve za vstop. Plačamo, vzamemo hrano za kengurujčke in že smo na pragu...

takoj iz prve nas pričakajo wallabiji, leni vombati in številne vrste ptic (ki ob malih kengurujčkih itak nikogar niso zanimale). Čist noro je, da wallabiji kar tako prosto skakljajo okoli, pridejo do tebe, se pustijo božat in si kar sami s tačkami postrežejo s hrano iz tvojega kozarčka. Mislm, da ni treba izgubljat besed o tem kako smo že po prvih 2 minutah nrdili tisoč slik. 

Al smo k otročki v trgovini s (pravimi) igračkami! Nadaljujemo sprehod po parku in smo že pri KOALAAH!!! Iiiiiii, za dodatnih 25$ se lahko z eno tudi slikaš, jo pobožaš, le v naročje je morš vzet. :( vseeno, nepozabno! Božala sem pravo koaloo, kako so mehkee, ko igračke!!! Paznica v ogradi nam razloži par dejstev o koalicah; spijo tudi po 20 ur na dan, vmes se malo zbudijo, pomalicajo in to je to...od ne vem koliko stotih vrst bambusa te zbirčne Metke jejo samo kakšnih 20, pa še to samo drobne mehke zelene listke, ostalo pa fliknejo stran! 



Haha po tem nepozabnem doživetju se odpravimo na naslednjo postajo...še več kengurujev in wallabijev, ki se prosto šetajo okoli in sam, da zagleda lonček v tvojih rokah, že priskaklja do tebe te zgrabi za roko ali lonček dejansko potegne proti sebi. hihihi Prov čudno mi je, da niso bajski, k pr vsakem mal pomalčkajo! :o vidmo še vombatke in quoko (najsrečnejšo živalico na svetu!)








Pot nas vodi še mimo pingvinčkov in ptic do tasmanskega vraga...avtohtone vrste živali, ki živi samo, ne boste verjeli, na Tasmaniji! Tale se kr ni hotu ustavt za fotko, no pa itak ni najlepša stvar na svetu tko da nč hudga :D



slišmo, da se na sredini parka glih pripravlja predstavitev krokodila...že tečemo! Paznica nam razloži par zadev o teh norih živalih in nam pripravi mali šov – pokaže, kako se požene za hrano na kopno in kako po hrano skoči iz vode! Wau...ne bi si želela tegale srečat kje u živo :o 

v parku tako lahko vidiš še dingote, emuje in se več kengurujev. Po tem, ko nam en skor pobegne iz ograde (thanks to Jasmin haha še dobr, da majo dvojna vrata in dvojne ograde haha), se razgledamo še med plazilci, vidimo varane in papige ter si privoščimo malčko! 



Pred odhodom domov je pa itak obvezen obhod po trgovini s spominki. Waaaa, polni navdušenja in lepih vtisov se odvlakcamo nazaj proti mestu in po poti kar ne mormo nehat razpravljat o tem doživetju haha očitno je, da smo čist adijo!
Po vrnitvi v center se fanta in Jasmin ustavijo v hostlu, da odložijo stvari nato pa se podamo proti obali....na palačinke!!! Wopwop slabih 45min hoje kasneje smo si jih res že pošteno zaslužili...tole je eden boljših placov v Sydneyu in precej priljubljen kafič po prežurani noči, saj so odprti 24/7!! Because why not pancakes at 4 am. :D itak smo rabil glih pol ure, da smo se dejansko odločil kaj želimo in naročil....in absolutno tale bombastična poslastica ni razočarala! Njamaaa

Jasmin in Pakdat se odbajsata nazaj proti hostlu, jaz pa se z Willom in Ashem odpravim na sprehod čez Harbour Bridge. Če bi bilo vreme lepše, bi bil tale pogled iz mosta še bolj neverjeten. Wau. Google maps oceni, da nam bo sprehod čez uzel približno uro in pol....js ne vem čez ker most stric google hod, ampak mi smo ga prehodili v točno 18minutah ležerne hoje. What?? Nč, to bo to za danes, sam upam, da bo še kej tople vode, ko pripešačim nazaj v hostel...

Stanje pripravljenosti: aaaa Pakdat je danes odšel v Adelaide, Jasmin jutri odhaja, kaj bom pa zdeeeej??? Spet brez prjatlov :( ker je Jasminin zadnji cel dan, ga preživiva skupaj še z nekaj dekleti iz njenega hostla in se odpravimo v bližnji šoping center. Počasa že delam seznam stvari, ki jih moram kupit za novo sobooooo! Btw glih sm plačala polog in končno je soba zares moja! Dan selitve – nedeljaaa! Po lahkem kosilu se ostala dekleta odpravijo nazaj proti hostlu, midve z J pa še malo okol. Zavijeva v Sephoro, Mac sva raje izpustili, ker bi drugač tam pustila glih ves svoj keš.......na poti nazaj proti centru mi kočno odgovori Megan iz Proteini Cafeja...pravi, da razume mojo situacijo s službo in da ni panike, če bi pa vseeno lahko prišla delat še v soboto...JA VALDA! Huh, se mi je kr kamen odvalil od srca....še vedno mi je prov bed, da sm jo tko skenslala, al mi je glih ratalo ušeč delat tam :o the thins we do for (more) money! :o torej v petek začnem z uvajanjem v novo službo, v soboto še oddelam v Proteiniju, v nedeljo pa selitev! Ni kej, pester vikend bo! Jasmin v hostlu odloži nakupljene stvari, nakar se kar na mestu odločiva, da se odpraviva ven na zadnjo večerjo...strica googla vprašava o najboljših placih za jest v mestu...Caffe Roma. Priročno čisto blizu mojega hostla tako da pot na noge pa pešaka, itak odprejo šele ob 6. Torej se nama nič pretirano ne mudi, nobena od naju niti ni še pretirano lačna. Tako se ustaviva na parih mestih po poti in v ležernem tempu premagujeva Sydneyske hribe. V restavraciji se pojaviva par minut po odprtju, tam pa že precej ljudi. Že mora bit dobra! Že v naprej sva si vse splanirali s čim se bova razvajali in si dobrote tokrat delili, predvsem, da prišparava pri dragocenih dindinih. Najprej se odločiva za garlic pizza bread...vse kar mu manjka je še dobra mocarelca po vrhu pa bi imeli ene fantastične pičiče! 

Za sladičko pa Pizza ala Nutella....a je lahko še kej boljšega kot nutella na pica kruhu?!?!?! Sploh ne bom zgubljala besed, rajš prpopam slikce :D naj vas ne prestraši »velikost«, ker je bilo testo ekstra tanko, obseg pa nekje velike pice v sloveniji (halo, sej nismo v ameriki haha). Kljub temu se po končanem bajsanju sam še naslonva na stol in nemo obsediva. Matr tole je pa bla zadnja večerja v stilu!


Plačava in se odkotaliva vsaka v svoj smer – Jasmin na vlak, js pa v hostel. *bruh, bruh*

Stanje pripravljenosti: jutro danes začenjam v izi. Z Jasmin sva zmenjeni šele ob 11, da se ona lahko v miru pripravi na odhod domov. Mene pa najprej čaka zajtrk in še nekaj dela za blog. ob pol 10 se počasi odpravim peške proti operi. Tam ugotovim, da me je klical Ross iz Earth Impact, moje nove službe.....jaooo k bi vedu, da sovražim govort po telefonu! Suck it up woman, it's for you'r job!! Kličem nazaj, k sreči se ne javi haha v tem času se mi že pridruži Jasmin. Odpraviva se proti najstarejšemu predelu mesta – The Rocks...na poti me spet kliče Ross... »Inhale, exhale, you got this!« Hello?! Blablablablabla, ok prav, da me hoče sam spomnt na jutrišnje uvajanje, kaj rabim sabo in kdaj se dobimo. Kul, see ya then! ....no vidš, da ni blo tko hudo...ahhhh tle bom očitno še velik nekih svojih strahov premagala :D midve se že lepo smestiva na hribčku v parku z norim pogledom na Harbour Bridge. Tam posediva se malo posončiva in kasneje nadaljujeva sprehod proti Darling Harbour, kjer si privoščiva kosilo. Počas bo že treba nazaj proti hostlu, saj mora Jas na letališče. :( pospremim jo na železniško postajo kjer se posloviva...ona se nato odvlakca proti »domu«, jaz pa raziskovat še nevidene dele mesta....Market v China Townu


....poln stojnic z vso mogočo kitajsko kramo hahaha česa vse pa ti ne prodajajo ajjjj, uč vržem še na kitajski supermarket (svašta, ene stvari so prov bizarne!!) in pičim proti domu. And I'm all alone! Zdej pa re sne vem kaj nej sama s sabo....ahhhhh ja, še ena slaba stran selitve v tujino, polno folka okol tebe, ampak brez prjatlov in družine se definitivno počutiš osamljeno....bolš da bodo jutr na uvajanju kakšni kul ljudje! :)

Pet 13.10.2017
Stanje pripravljenosti: petek 13! Dopoldne začnem umirjeno z zajtrkom in pripravami na uvajanje v novo službo. To bo še zanimivo! :) Ves čas se prepričujem, da je dobro, da sprobam še kaj drugega kot že klasično in ustaljeno delo z otroki, v čemer sm že od kar sem prvič začela delati pred dooolgimi leti :D mislm, treba bo sprobat ane, če ne probaš, ne veš. Si mislm....v primeru, da bom zelo pogrešala učenje in delo z otroki, bom pa točno vedela, da je to nekaj v čemer se vidim in kar želim početi. Makes sense? Does to me :) že hodim proti glavni pisarni Earth Impact-a. Zopet izpolnim predstavitveni list in se pridružim ostalim 6 kandidatom, ki so danes na uvajanju. 3 tujke (poleg mene še Nemka in Švedinja) ter 4 domačini (trije Avstralci in en sosed z Nove Zelandije, po imenu in izgledu pravi Maor! :p). Začnemo s predstavitvijo vseh zbranih vključno z mentorjem; ta je Britanec, ki je v Avstraliji že 4 leta in pravi, da je začel svojo pot točno tu kjer smo zdaj mi...z vsemi birokratskimi zadevami, obrazci, pokojninskim skladom, davkih in pogodbo. Huh, nč se ne špara model, glih tok, da nas ni zametov s papirji! Na hitro gremo še čez pravila, kako se obnašati, ko nosiš uniformo in predstavljaš firmo, kaj obleči in podobno. Pogledamo še prispevek o organizaciji za katero bomo dejansko delali – Plan International in hvala bogu...pavza za kosilo! Nič ne odlašamo, sam da se najemo, nas že čaka drugi del uvajanja – imitacija terena. Mal igre vlog hihi. Učimo se kako izpeljat pogovor od uvoda do zaključka, kako se držati, kretnje z rokami, glasnost in ton govora, kje stati, katere tehnike »prodaje« uporabiti in ostalo, da bomo ja uspešno prišli do zaključka in donacije. Mentor navije musko, mi pa v parih vadimo pogovor na teren in skušamo preglasiti ozadje – pravi Ross, da je to zato, ker te zunaj itak vedno nekje dobi, kar moraš preglasit – kosilnica, avto al pa gasilska sirena haha tole bo res še neki zanimivga :D po dobrih petih urah uvajanja smo približno 5% ready za pravo delo...sej ni panike, mamo še cel vikend da zvadmo, začnemo šele v pondelk. Ha-ha. Še dobr, da bomo vsaj prvi teden spremljali vsak svojega mentorja in se učili na licu mesta...bolš da, k ne vem, če so moji možgani že zmožni v angleščini hitro sprocesirat in odreagirat v nepredvidljivi situaciji v pogovoru haha Btw od pasu navzdol mormo bit v črnem...tut čevlji! Pismu, zakaj nikol nism marala črnih tenisk, zdej jih morm it pa kupt! -.- a ne vejo, da je multi colour the new black?! Anyways, upam, da bo tole šlo kot treba. No, če ne, se bom pa mal naučila glumit...big deal. :D popoldne se odpravim na sproščujoč sprehod po centru, da si odsedim zasedeno guzico. Mal mam časa za razmislek...počutm se kot da sm tukej že najmanj sto let :o ...ni kej, odločitev, da se preseliš tok daleč in na neznano lokacijo s sabo prinese tudi veliko mero osamljenosti. Kdaj paše mal samote, v enih momentih si pa res želiš smo, da bi vidu vsaj kašno poznano osebo, kaj šele družino in bestije bajske. Al neke ljudi že spoznavaš pa to, sam ti definitivno ne morjo nadomestit enga kvalitetnega pogovora z nekom, k te pozna. Sej veš, »kva je pa dans lepo vreme...«, »ej ti, a greš dans kej na plažo, al uno znamenitost pogledat?«, »ej a se dobimo na night noodle marketu pa rečemo kašno o čist random stvareh?« .......the price you pay :) sej vem, da bo s časom lažje. VSAK začetek JE težak, pa naj si še tko lažemo v faco, da u bistvu ni. Ampak zadeve se bodo poklopile, družba bo že pršla, pol pa januarja sploh ne bom hotla drugam! Daj času čas pravjo...kdo že?! Aja, mogoče tut ne bi škodlo, da sm mal manj people hejtr pa se dejansko spravm kam koga spoznat???? BUT WHYYY :( hahaha a se sam men zdi, al dan dans 90% folka »druženje« enači samo z žuranjem in zapijanjem, dan za dnem in noč za nočjo? Because it sure seems like it...mogoče pa sam js živim v paralelni univerzi pa sm ponesreči obkrožena sam s takimi....pol sm pa js čudaška pa nedružabna. Sori k grem spat ob 10.

TO TO LIST:
be less people hater!!!!!

Končno sm si kupla nov zvežček za dnevne zapise. Tak ful lep, čist zame, pa še na razprodaji je bil – names 5$, 3$, bargain!! Za večerjo sm si kupila še vrečko brokolija, k ga bom sam fliknla v ostanke riža od kosila #savingmoney al, če sem bom pa kej naučila tle, je pa uporabljanje mikrovalovke. Zaenkrat nism še nč zapalila al pa vrgla v zrak *self high five* in ja, prov vidš, doma nimamo mikrovalovke, ker je ne rabimo! Caret sostanovalec se spet norčuje, ker me vsak večer vid na kompu...prav, če pišem domačo nalogo...hahahaha že dolg ne veeeeč, yaaaas! Glih majo tipi razpravo o klimi v naši sobi, je sosedu čist zmočila postlo, ker je iz nje kapljalo. Vsi so si enotni, da definitivno te nočitve ne bo plačov – je že res, postlo ma čist mokro...hahaha ne morm si kej kot pa da se smejim njihovi razpravi...pa ne temi ampak načinu, tonu in naglasu govora hahah Britanci :D nč, treba bo zaklučt z domačo nalogo...jutr me čaka še zadnji delovni dan v Proteiniju :(

The Land Down Under

Po kratkem (beri dvoletnem) premoru, se na sceno zopet vračajo moji potovalni zapisi...le, da tokrat iz Avstralije. Pisala bom dnevnike in jih za nazaj poskušala čim bolj redno objavljati tako da vse, ki vas zanima kako se imam in kaj počnem, ohranim na tekočem...za začetek pa nekaj misli, ki so se mi podile med pripravami na odhod in med samo potjo. :) Enjoy, pa javte se kej!

Cheers

    ....................

Pon 25.9.17:
Občutki: v naključnem vrstnem redu skozi celoten dan:  vznemirjenost, strah, veselje, evforija, negotovost, žalost...something like this basically:
 Čemu tako počutje:  vznemirjenost, ker se spet obeta potovanja, to je taka dobra pozitivna vznemirjenost, ki pomeni, da se prebližuje nekaj superskega! Strah, ker se spuščam v neznane vode, kaj šele bo! Ker ne vem kako se bodo zadeve razpletle; bom dobila službo, bom lahko dobila stanovanje, bom sploh prišparala kej denarja, mi bo ratalo, mi ne bo ratalo, me bodo deportiral (zakaj že?!?!), kaj če zbolim, kaj če si kej naredim, kaj če mi zmanjka keša, kaj če ne bom zdržala, bom spoznala kakšne nove prijatelje...klasika :D Veselje, ker valda grem na potovanja wohooo, ker bom lahko dokazala, da se da in da zmorem (after i get over that same fear haha), ker bom spet v elementu – počela to kar počnem najbolje in najrajše – potujem, ker vem, da bo nora izkušnja, ker bom spet srečala svoje kamp prijateljeeeee, po parih letih!! Evforija, ker nobeno daljše potovanja ni nič brez evforične manije in splošnih napadov panike in veselja hkrati. Negotovost, mogoče dajem vtis, da sem čist ready....hahaha deep down inside pa: O FAK, a si zmešana, kaj ti je tega treba, pa sej nisi čist pr seb, dvomm, da ti bo ratalo...Žalost, ker zapuščam svoje domače, še posebej babi in dedija...na moment imam precej slabo vest (ne me vprašat zakaj), čeprav vem, da me vsi okol mene podpirajo....jah tko je...še enkrat...it’s not like you have to go...
Stanje pripravljenosti: kufer spakiran, lucky 25kg, stojalo še polno cunj, ki se sušijo in tut grejo z mano. #Life ...sej mogoče mi pa rata. Poslovilna feštica je bla...najedl smo se, poslovili smo se, moje bajske bom res precej pogrešala...kako bom zdej hodila na pičiče, če pa njih ne bo zravn?! Aja, ne bom, k jih tle ne poznajo :’( poslavljanja še trajajo in še bodo do pojutrišnjem. Al sam še čakam na sodni dan....

Tor 26.9.17:
Občutki: v naključnem vrstnem redu skozi celoten dan: panika, vznemirjenost, negotovost, veselje, žalost, tesnoba, strah...mogoče mam pa bipolarno motnjo..evo no, zdej pa še hipohondrija...najboljš, da kar neham razmišlat...a ve kdo kako se da možgane na letalski način?? Help, anyone?!?!
Čemu tako počutje: Panika...ne vem, če bi bla situacija tle lahko še bol očitna...mislm, da je selitev na KONEC SVETA (pa ne un iz Piratov iz Karibov...) čist dober razlog za zganjanje panike. Vznemirjenost, ker komej čakam že da grreeeem!, k vem da bo vse negativno mim, ko bom enkrat na letalu – tm ni več prostora za negativo...sam predstavlej si, da maš panični napad na 14 urnem letu.... dr. House: “one milligram of diazepam now!!!!!” A majo stevardese kakšno pomirjevalo tam v vozičkih? Negotovost...jah sej veš, ni positive brez negative al kva?! Žalost...bolj k razmišlam, slabš je..mislm to sm napisala, k da sm toplo vodo odkrila. Najbolj je bed, k pomislš, da zdej pa res kr precej časa ne boš vidu domačih, sploh pa mačka! Vsakič k pomislm, bi se kr zjokcala. Kaj bo šele jutr na letališču. *smrk, smrk*  Veselje, ker valdaaaaa, a ne veš, da greš v avstralijo....ej kr u avstralijo greš, wtf, a ni to noro. Prov no.ro!!  Tesnoba...ja mal pa me tišči, če čist po pravici povem. Sej vem, da eni ne bi, ampak men se ne zdi nč čudnga. Brez veze olepševat zadeve. Težko je, fakin težko se selt na drug konc sveta. Čeprov večina vid samo pozitivo, v ozadju je pa skor več negative...žal. Strah..again, al me je tok stvari strah, da nimam cajta/dost prostora usega naštet...glavne v tem momentu: kaj če bo kej narobe s karto, vizo, kaj če mi zgubijo prtljago, kaj če me na emigraciji kr zavrnejo in deportirajo nazaj, kaj če...kaj če....kaj če....če čebula ne bi če imela bi bila bula (btw, a mi lahko prosm kdo razloži ta rek?!?!)
Stanje pripravljenosti: ready as I'll ever be...it’s safe to say, da je kufer kr povn. Čeprav sem danes spet vse zložila ven, odstranila precej, dodala cunje iz stojala, prelagala, premišljevala, delala scenarije, kaj rabm, česa ne...KAJ PA ČE?!?! Pa smo spet pr ČE(buli). Zgleda, da je bil moj kufer to poletje tako požrešen kot js v ameriki...27kilc. a sm na glavo padla?? Kako ga bom pa dobila dol iz vrtiljaka za prtljago na letališču?? Vrjetno me bo kr sabo odnesu. Nč zvečer me čaka še zadnja družinska večerja pol pa...

Sre, čet 27., 28.9.17:
