Australia is the driest inhabited continent on earth. So why the heck did it rain the entire time I was travelling last week?
Jason Schoeder from Marquette, Wilhelm Van der Steen from the Netherlands, and myself just got back from a five-day camper van extravaganza. We took the good van "Robbie Williams" on the great ocean road, kangaroo island, Adelaide and then back to Melbourne. And it rained the entire time. And the van didn't have a heater. And for the first half of the trip, we didn't have a defroster, so we drove with the windows open. Be the end of the second day I think everything I brought was soaking wet. I don't think I've ever been so cold for so long.
It was actually a good trip though. Jason, Willhelm and I got along pretty well, and we saw a lot of cool stuff. I might even tell some of you about it someday. Actually, I'm going to post the pictures. Soon I hope.
The highlights of the trip were seeing a horde of pelicans being fed, which I have on video, seeing some massively cool rock formations, hanging out with Australian sea lions (also on video), and the ferry back from kangaroo island in storm conditions and everybody puking, which I unfortunatly do not have on video.
Okay, time to eat. Ciao.
