Rebecca i Australia

I thought I had been busy during the last 11 months, but I never thought the last month would to be the worst of all of them (in a good way).

I went to the blue mountains with Liisa and her previous host family. It was so pretty there, and reminded me of Norway. The trees were all loosing their leafs, and the colours were beautiful. We stayed in a cute little cottage only a few minutes away from the three sisters. We went on several walks, a got to see quite a lot in only two days.

I celebrated my birthday last week. It was a great day, or maybe a week? I took a while before all the celebrations had taken place. We went out for dinner on my actual birthday. I went out in Newcastle, which was a lot of fun. We also had dinner at Hog's Breath during the weekend.

 Finally, after close to 11 months, I made it to Singleton. We had our last scandinavian dinner, which again turned out really nicely. Wednesday, Liisa and I, caught the train down to Sydney to see the Sydney Lights (Vivid 2012). We had two great days down there. We started by wandering around in the city, before we went down to the Quay where the light show started at 6pm. It was raining a fair bit that night, but we enjoyed it anyway.

I've now got 24 days left, which freaks me out, but also makes me happy. It's really hard to understand for anyone who isn't going through our situation.
