It was so hard to leave Katherine and this land on Saturday morning, we were brokenhearted, but we had to say goodbye. We cried during the half of the flight. For me, Australia was an empty country, until we felt it inside of me. These flavors, these...
November the 1st, we went out the whole day, talking to people in the street, playing on the beach with teenagers, eating with new friends, savoring the final day in this wonderful country. We learnt so much about them, they used to live each day as the...
The next day, we went shopping (I know it's not very instructive!), in huge shops like “Myer and David Jones”, “Kookai”, “Jigsaw”, “Westfield”... In the afternoon we sat in a coffee shop and Katherine asked us what we knew about Sydney. I answered this...
Tuesday the 29th, we spent the rest of the day in a hotel, in a city which I forgot the name. Anne-Sophie, Katherine and I were exhausting, and we decided to take the train to Sydney the next day, refusing to make one more step under the burning sun....

I'm ashamed to say that when we awoke it was 3pm. We ate as fast as possible and jumped in the first train to the South, near to Port Campbell. 4 hours later, we followed the Great Ocean Road, until we saw them, in the National Park : the 12 Apostles....
When we arrived at Melbourne's airport at nearly 7 pm, a terrific new hits us : in the southern hemisphere, seasons were exchanged compared with France ! Instead of cold and rain, it was a bright sun that received us :D We absolutely wanted to follow...
It has been a while that we were dreaming about going there, so we took the fist plane to Melbourne on Saturday, the 19 th of October. There was so many teenagers like us making this fantastic trip, we were all so excited ! We left Paris Charles de Gaulle...
