The flight home

08.07.11

This was the hardest day in my life. Today I had to say goodbye to my family, my friends and my life that completely changed in a year.

Woke up and got ready. While I was sitting at the table waiting for the rest of the family, my dad came and look at me and touched my cheek. I burst. I think it was at that point I realised what was going to happen.
I said goodbye to Albert, and we started driving. Lucy was heaps upset and so was I.

It was such a weird atmosphere in the car. At one stage is was excited and kept talking but then, I suddenly got really emotional and got the feeling that I couldnt leave all this behind me.

We got to the airport in perfect time. I met up with Emilie, Emilie, Emil and Laura. We checked in together but we were all under 18 so they gave us a guide. How ridicoulous. It took ages to check in and they took our passports and gave us a time to meet at excatly. Meanwhile all this was going on, my friends started arriving.

A lot of people came! Unexpected but really meaningful considering it made the whole thing harder. I didnt want to be upset while spending my last time with my friends. Brian gave me a meatpie with a sad face and a coffee. Even though I wasnt hungry, but it all went down.

I ran around in the airport like crazy, with my akubra hat and rotary jumper. Giving big hugs, letting big tear drops out and trying to feel organised.

Like a snap, it was time to meet the guide. I thought that she then would give us time to say goodbye after meeting her. But that stupid woman kept saying: Hurry up Hurry up.

I cried and cried and cried. Gave hugs, said my last words, while the others went through the gate. Laura and I were as always the biggest mess and the last ones to get through.

I sat next to her through the whole trip. I cried everytime I read the letters people gave me or my little black book. But at one stage I just wanted to sleep, watch a movie and eat. I didnt like the food at all so I didnt eat that much. It was a heaps long trip and We both had a terrible headache during the whole trip.

One fun episode happened though. Laura and I sat next to SØREN ha ha ha this danish man that suddenly started talking in his very funny accent when he found out we were danish as well. God! It was hilarious and not to mention he was at our second plane too... LOL

In singapore we met up with a HUGE group of danes. I saw Trine! and ended up with a little chat at the toilets in the airplane.

Our last flight was really tiering too but everybody spoke danish and a lot of people were excited to get home. When we landed in Copenhagen, this young nice looking danish man stood with our passports. I told him how dumb it thought it was that we had to travel with guied and he agreed. He was so funny! and kept joking about the flying companies!

Finally we got our bags but.... fuck.... we had to see our families now... our adventure was over...okay let's wait 10minutes before we go out, Trine ,Laura, Joanna and I agreed. after 10 min we lined up in front of the door.... it opened a bit and we saw a massive crowd standing with flags full of excitedment.

For a moment I panicked!!! I CANT GO OUT THERE!!! but we got forced to when they all started cheering after they noticed us girls standing there... oh.. no....

The first to greet me was Rikke! which settled all my speculations wether to say hi to mum, dad or emil first..








Packing up

07.06.11

It's the day before Im going home. Can you believe it? Im actually going home....
I had started packing a bit, but today I had to empty my room.
Emily came over after lunch and helped. Later on, Emma, Andrea, Sophie and Savannah came too for afternoon tea and dinner.

The girls (or rather Andrea) took all my clothes I couldnt fit in my back. I had problems with the scale but manage 23kg in the end. only 3kgs above limit.

Annie and Luce made my fav cupcakes : PEANUTBUTTER! and we had amazing burgers for dinner. Watching movies, crying a bit and stalking people on facebook. Ha ha It's so unreal all of it. Sometimes I cant even cry cause I dont realise the TOMORROW IM GOING HOME. I dont think im ready for it...

Im so happy the girls came over and gave me some support, I love all of you so so so much!

Mountain Horse

06.07.11

FINALLY, David got to take me on the horseride he promised like 6 monhts ago ha ha
I had already stopped thinking about getting to it but today we did get to it!
Yesterday was so windy, which gave us a few problems getting over the mountains.
We held in a long line of cars for hrs but luckily the horseride didnt begin without us.
After crossing fallen trees, watching a train with a tree on top etc we reached the place and had a lovely day in a group on horses.

The horses were heaps shit yes, but in good company it did not matter!
David and I went for lunch in Katoomba afterwards, well deserved! Oh dear, drank 2 huge mucks of coffee + ate a huge meal!

mhhhhhmmmm

Thanks David ;)

Best weekend to wish for

02.07.11

This weekend is Basically me last weekend in Australia!
It's really really sad, but Im so thankful I got to spent it with one of the most amazing girls I know. Andi.
We had big plans for these couple of days. Saturday morning Katrina her older sister and Andi picked me up, and we headed towards Sydney.
Made a little stop at a supermarked and bought a dark haircolour (Im blond atm)
We went looking at the olympic park and to the shopping center.
I'd never met Andi's dad but of course he was  amazing like the rest of her family. We saw baby photos of her (a laugh) after lunch mmmmmhhhm.

In the evening Andi, Kat and I went out, and came home real later after an amazing night!!! Straight to bed. The next day was the day Sara (My muffin) had to leave. So she called me, and freaked out! -like I know her :)

Andi dyed my hair dark as! The thing is that I want to me totally unreckoniseable when mum sees me in a week in the airport.

And I promise it got dark, but wow I love it! We went shopping again ! and I bought more clothes that I barely can bring home in my 20kg suitcase.
Mike came with his surfer GPS to pick us up and gave me a lift to the airport.

Sat there reading, drinking coffee etc for a couple of hrs before the others turned up.

And then GOODBYE MUFFIN ;'( I couldnt stop crying, I just broke down. Then Margareth and George from safari came and gave me a birthday card and I cried even more.

But everything comes to an end.
Luckily Shireen kept talking on the way home so I didnt have time to think about that my amazing swiss chick was gone! <3

Let's muck it up

01.07.11

Today, my last school day at Winmalee and Muck up photo day. First 'prober' photos and then we all dressed up! There was so many good costumes eg. SpongeBob, Old men In wheelchairs, M&M's etc.
Savannah, Andrea and I were vinkings. I was the man, they were my wife and daughter HAHA! It was so much fun, after the photoshoot SAV and I went around to the different teachers to sign me out. I said goodbye to Miss Grace and a few friends of mine.
It wasn't really sad, I mean It just doesnt seem real to me. I guess it'll all come to me later on.
I wanted to plan a goodbye party or so, but never got to it. instead my lovely SAV planned for us to go to the memorial park in springwood after the photos. (taking a few classes of) So we did. Me and all my amazing and wonderful friends (most of them) Bought pizza, chips and soda to bring with us and even Tennis Ball s so the boys could play.

People came and went, it was really nice and the weather was good considering the last couple of days with rain. Finally Adam came too, he had baked a fantastic Pavelova and Brownies mhhhhhhmmmm<3
This day could not be better.

He, Rhiannon, Laura and Matt Dropped me home and walked me to the door. It was so sad, the last time I would see Adam (at least for a long while)

This day not only showed home many amazing friends Ive got, It also showed the strenght amongst them and the will to get to geter and enjoy eachothers company.

So thank you guys! It really meant a lot and I couldnt have asked for a better last school day<3
