Safari

Day 9 of the safari we went to Green Island. It's an Island outside of Cairns and in the middle of Great Barrier Reef. We spend the day snorkeling and swimming in the ocean.

Safari

We were 23 exchange students on the safari. It was all the people I've known since i got here and an american girl that came from down Melbourne. We all knew each other from before, but we still managed to make new friends among us or improve the friendships we already had. It was people I hadn't hung out with before that I now became really close with

I can continue uploading pictures forever it feels like ahah. I took so many!

Safari 2

So the safari was a trip around Australia, or rather a small part. Something that I've learnt during this year is that this country is quite big.. rather huge. 

We started by flying up to the gold coast and from there travel by bus. Went to Cairns, Alice Springs, Uluru, Great Ocean road, Melbourne and allot more. It really was a trip of a lifetime and I miss it so much now when  it's over. The worst thing was the realization after. that it's not long till i will be sitting on a plain back home now and this amazing year will come to an end. A year turned into months, months into weeks and soon it will be days. Where did all that time go??

Conference part 3

Saturday ended with a big dress up dinner. All Rotary clubs had dressed up in different costumes. The theme was 'A nigh at the museum' (the movie).

My club went as some Egypt/Rome theme. It was probably the highlight of the conference!

Who knew Rotary people could get so into things. (sure a bit to much alcohol probably helped)...

Bjorn and Paul (first picture) came up with their costume in the last minute.. bed sheet and a belt.. 

The whole thing was at a war plain museum. It was a quite spectacular. 

In the end it was allot of speeches and the whole thing was directed to Rotarians, which made the night a bit slow for young people ^^

Conference Part 2

So we had some events during the weekend. first at Saturday morning we had to go out on the stage and present out flag. The rest of the students had rehearsed for this the day before (when I wasn't there). But as we where waiting to go on stage they changed it all. I was quite happy about that.. haha 

After that we just hanged out and tried to kill some time. 

 

Conference

Friday was a short day in school for me. I left at lunch to get picket up by Colin and Gai and then drive down to Nowra that is about 2 and a half hour south of Sydney. The trip down took much longer. We managed to get stuck in traffic during peak hour and get every single red light! so after 4 hours we finally arrived. Then also about 3 hours late.
We had to silently walk into the room where everyone were already enjoying their dinner. I couldn't just sit at my table tho (wanted to talk to all the exchange students), so ran around and said hello to everyone instead ^^

Go Sydney traffic!

So what was this conference for? well it was for my Rotary district. Just a bunch of information and guest speakers. 

Honestly it was such a boring weekend! They basically had nothing planed for us exchange student and we spent 12 hours lying in the grass outside the conference building, waiting for it to be over.
