It is 5pm in Shanghai. The night is approaching the city accompanied with drizzling rain. I´m sitting here on our sofa in our apartment with a nice cup of tea beside me and wonder " Was it really only a couple of days ago that Paul and I walked in flip flops through the parks of sydney under bright sunny skies, lovley 25 degrees and not a cloud in sight? "
It is hard to believe that our little excursion to Australia where we managed to drive exactely 4012km in 17 days is already over. The freedom of having power over a steering wheel was just awesome and made us feel a little more normal again. We loved every kilometer of the journey despite the fact that we nearly drowned in thunderstorms near Cairns in our little van and Pauls special souvenier this time is an x-ray from Airlie Beach showing his broken little finger (nothing to worry about! and the picture fit´s nice into his collection of "exotic x-rays". Last year we got some in India from his ankle)
Apart from that we had really a great time, meeting up with Zack and Dee in Sydney, watching whales jumping in the sea, cruising Frasher Island and the Whitsundays and for sure we had more wine and cheese than we could handle (according to the scales this morning..)
But everything has to come to an end. So on Sunday we had to say "Bye Bye" to sunshine, pies and endless selections of dairy products in supermarkets. Yesterday I went back to school wearing socks, closed shoes for the first times in months a coat, an umbrealla and with a bit of a sigh I noticed that Ole didn´t have my favorite cheese on their shelves. Oh well...Seems like we are back to reality...
...and that means we are back in party town!! with Halloween coming up this weekend and Dragon Fly offering hot stone massages. I can´t wait to dive into the city again and to keep you posted!
