Melbourne and Alice Springs

Yesterday we visited Melbourne and went shoe shopping. The weather turned to be better in the afternoon which was very nice. Melbourne city is a great city to walk around and the people are very very friendly! We'll hope to see more next time we stop there.

This morning, we had to leave Melbourne already to fly to Alice Springs. It is very very hot here! Tomorrow we'll go on the tour to Ayers Rock and Kings Canyon!

Short stop in Hong-Kong

I am currently in Hong Kong and everything is going well! I had problems in the common transportations in Paris as I was stuck in the RER B for about 50min on the way to the airpot. Then we've been evacuated, walking along the rails. Then, I searched for a cab to go to the airport but it was hard getting one as everybody was in this situation! Eventually, I managed to share one with three other people. Fortunately I arrived on time and everything is now back to normal! I have to go, the boarding starts in a few minutes!

Arrival in Melbourne

We are finally in Australia and now back together too! It's raining here! Not as dry as I thought! Well, I have to go buy new hiking boots...

Bad things happen too...

So sad... My hiking boots have been stolen in Singapore :( So frustrating, I don't understand people sometimes. Now I have to waste my time in Melbourne looking for new shoes. Such a waste of time and money...

Singapore

I am currently in Singapore.

The two last days in London were very nice. I visited with a Dutch stranger who lives in Paris, I visited alone and I visited with my host. Great time, great weather (not a single rain drop!), great visits! Monuments, gardens, markets, museums... Still, I have a lot to see!

Singapore is very hot and humid. My nice host took me around. But now I am getting sleepy...

0:49am...

... and I'm still not in bed ;-) I'll just go to sleep after posting this entry. My backpack is ready, wrapped in transparent film to travel in complete serenity. Tomorrow, wake up atabout 5:30am to take the RER B towards Charles de Gaulle Airport. Departing at 9:25am towards London, then Hong Kong and Melbourne! See you on the other side of the globe!

The pressure is coming

While Linh is visiting London, I spend some days in Paris staying at my sister place as I'll take the plane from the Charles de Gaulle airport on Monday morning. Even after the previous travels, there is always some fear before leaving that I begin to feel! Tomorrow I'll meet my old friend Matthieu who is also going to Australia, about 15 days after me, but for a way longer trip! Hopefully, we will have the opportunity to meet in Sydney!

London

Some friends of mine complained that my blog is in French so they can't read it. So this is the English version. Two blogs is a lot so this one will be less detailed.

I am now in London since yesterday, staying at a friend from school's place. I flew from Toulouse yesterday. I had first to go to his office to get his keys. He works in a bank and I was in one of the two financial districts of London and I was just really surprised that there were strictly only business men and women, all really well dressed while I looked like a wanderer among them. The security guy was confused too when he saw me... But I managed to met my friend, get the key. It took me forever to open the door of his flat as I am just very bad at opening locked door for some reason. Well everything ended up very fine. I had a little time to walk to Tower Bridge. The city seems to be just great to visit :)

At night I had dinner with the friend who hosts me and two others I also know from school. It was great to see them again and talk about what they became. We also went to a pub, just like every worker in London after work. Great time, great atmosphere!
