The 10th of August it was finally time for a road trip to Pinnacles! Sara, Johanna, Louise and I drove up to Lancelin Saturday morning, of course it was raining all the way up there. But by the time we got there it had stopped and we had a look at the dunes and couldn’t wait to go sand boarding! So we rented a board and hurried back. The dune was pretty steep but it was so much fun! I tried standing on the board and almost came all the way down the dune, so proud haha. But I did fall and had a big bruise on my bum for a couple of days. There was a man at the dunes who had brought a dog without a leash. The dog jumped on people and when Louise and I went down the hill in high speed it just came right at us and we had to stop. Ruined all the fun! I really don’t understand people who don’t keep their dogs under control! Fortunately we had already been there for a while by then.
After Lancelin we drove the rest of the way up to Cervantes where we stopped to have some lunch. After Cervantes we went to Pinnacles where we looked at rocks. Johanna started off the tour by taking a photo and complaining about a big rock being in the way, hahah.  We also found the lion cliff from The Lion King.

 

 

 

 

 

 

During the last week I have met up with some new au pair friends in Mandurah. Apart from that it’s been full on at work with extra hours! I really start to feel like one in the team and finally I have started to learn how to make coffees!

Friday night Johanna, Sara and I went to Leederville where we had some delish frozen yogurt, mine too full off topping, as per usual. Later in the evening Johanna and I went to Perth by train. We were talking Swedish and said some silly things as you do if no one else can understand you. Only this time there was a couple giggling next to us and they spoke Swedish too! Ended up with the four of us laughing out loud and everyone else on the train wondering and asking why we were laughing. So with us being totally sober, really, laughing while walking and people looking after us, we went to Brass Monkey. Realised there were only couples and gay people in there and asked our way to The Mustang bar instead. It was so cool! Live music with old classics, a big dance floor and a bar area just to hang out at.
The day after Johanna and I went to Malaga (not in Spain) to go rock climbing. It was really scary the first time we had to let go at the top and they really shouldn’t leave two hangover girls, being there the first time, alone to climb haha. It went alright though and no one fell that day! Our muscles started getting stiff even before we were all done climbing and I’ve realised how many muscles in your hand that can be stiff haha. After the climbing I slept at Johanna’s place and we had a movie night. We watched The back-up plan and Sucker Punch. The last one must be the worst movie I’ve EVER seen (except for that one with a guy being stuck in his car in the woods for 90 minutes that Emelie and I watched a couple of years ago..)

 

Today, Tuesday, I joined in on Sara and Louise’s Tuesday meeting in Perth. We had a great time at the Indonesian embassy “working” by the gate haha. After that we just chilled at one of the parks and had some take away from Hahn’s cafe. I also realised that it’s the 20^th of August today, which means that I am celebrating 6 whole months down under! Weeey, happy girl :D And to top it all it’s getting warmer every day and I love it! Finally feels like the summer is on it’s way!
