New Dreamland
There are unbelievable things in the world. Things that people do, things that happen. The most unbelievable things right now would be 1). that I'm in New Zealand, 2). that I just neglected this blog and 4). that I forgot 3).!
Loved ones, I'm in New Zealand. Sitting behind a desk, behind a computer-screen It's midnight. I should be asleep, but pretty much everybody I know is awake now, on the other side of the world. Perfect way to communicate, right? Chat during the night. Have adventures during the day. The most perfect yet most stupid thing to do.
We (opa en oma and me) came here last Monday. From Perth, Australia, where we spent three weeks. And before that three days in Bali! (Like I told you once, I believe)
And more than half of this adventure is just behind me already! It's a funny thing to realize. And a sad thing, time is so .. there! Wish I could blow it away for a while.
Australia was an absolute blast! I've seen things I never thought I would ever see in my life. Awesome rock-formations, wild dolphins, I even held a cute little koala-bear! Also, I learned interesting things about the country, the culture and the people. I also met a good load of folks! It was awesome. A pity to leave. And lot's of reasons to go back: whales, four wheel driving and camping on the beach.
And now, after a three-week Aussie-adventure, I'm in New Zealand. The land of my dreams. New Dreamland. I should call it that from now on. The way from Auckland to Hamilton (Hamilton is where we stay at the moment) was a little fairy tale already. Misty hills, sunshine and beautiful morning-skies.
It was pretty weird to actually believe I was here. It made me emotional, haha. I cried, one tear. The rest is for real cry-business later in my life.
When I spoke to my friends on chat it was just an emotional bomb. I mean, I don't think more adrenaline could have been pumped through my veins.
We're off to see the Shire tomorrow; Hobbiton. I couldn't be more blessed, I think. Hobbiton, I'm going. It's been completely rebuilt, for The Hobbit, and they're leaving it there now.
Along with that comes the fact that a volcano erupted today. Or actually, yesterday, it's 1.35 in the morning. This is all one big experience of amazingness and magnificence. And I think this is one of the first 100% serious blog in my entire blog-life. [smiles proudly]
I do know that I've fallen in love with Down Under, with New Dreamland and Australia. And with Bali too! Even though it was for only three days.
And I could elaborate on every little streetcorner I've seen, but I won't. Not now. I've written every feeling and experience down in a little notebook Joeke (one of my best friends) gave me. I will never forget a thing.
And by the way, if anybody wants to see pictures and read some Dutch blabbering about the journey, click and follow this: lydiavandebeek.wordpress.com
I am going to throw my suitcase of my bed now. I won't brush my teeth, I hate that, but I just won't.
