my last week...
so in the last couple of days weve done heaps and ive had such a great time!!!
its mainly small things that are really enjoyable and keep me distracted from the fact that im about to leave... like, the other day, i cooked pasta for 4 or 5 people and they all enjoyed it!!! julia style!!! =) i bought this REAL parmesan at countdown which was like 18 bucks for 250 grams - bloody expensive, but soooooo worth it! =)
another day we went out and played soccer which made all of us happy, since its a nice change to rugby... =) we had a game at the beach and it was fun, but unfortunately i cant say i kicked ass, cause i was out of breath in no time...
the next morning we got up really early to see the sun rise over the sea... wasnt the most spectacular thing ive seen, but beautiful all the while...
just yester 3 others and me went on a day trip... and i enjoyed the ride in my precious, of course... =) so drove for like 2 or more hours, on the way stopping at this 'museum'. at the museum we had to ring the bell to then have a 89-year-old man slowly coming to guide us through... its basically an exhibition of antiques... everything from old coins, to bed pans, to cars... apparently theyve got the oldest austin known in the world... the cute old man went on about the firstcar he bought, which we could see at the museum, the second world war, and how things have changed during his lifetime... it was really interesting. so after what should have been a rather short visit to the museum we sent on and drove to the hotsprings in the middle of nowhere... it was absolutely gorgeous! and bloody hot too. though the sand flies were freekin annoying, and thats basically why we just hopped in for like 15 minutes and then made our way back again - 2 hours...
often we would just play cards or watch movies...enjoying each others company... =) the other night 5 of us went to lazer force, which (i probably have to explain again) is kinda like paintball just with lazers and you feel like youre double 0 7 and youve got the licence to kill... =) was mean as! most of the time we didnt stand a chance because there were all these little buggers, the kids from town, who go there so often that theyre just unbeatable. anyways, it was still heaps of fun and we had our laugh!
so as you can see, in these last couple of days weve done heaps of small things like that and of course packing - nice! enjoying every second with good friends and trying not to think about leaving this place... =)
cheers
too many pics with precious, i know... but shes the star! =)
and, by the way, i know too that the selection of pics is a bit random, but since im leaving tomorrow i wont waste my time on the computer... the couple in one pic are the hosts of archies bunker backpacker - theyre the best!

Hey Hon!
I know. I'm first AGAIN. How boring. ;-)
You do really seem to love that car. As I said, maybe you can get away with a door handle or radio antenna without anybody noticing. ;-)
Mad love

Dear Julia
I think you are not used to read in german, so I try my best English. I you wouldn´t always write that you enjoy your live so much, then I would see it on your pictures. You look great, as car buddha and as star of the world.
All the best
