the birm*

Just had a great week in the snowy mountains with mum and dad. A great time to chill and hang out before heading overseas for a long time. Obviously, there was no snow, but it still felt like winter on two of the days (and nights!). on the program: chillin’, eating, watching the tennis, hiking and doing a hard 1000 piece puzzle (which we finished the night B4 we left).

We walked everyday and saw many beautiful places and crazy looking animals (you really have to come to Australia to appreciate this!). Every few steps you take you come across a hole in the ground up to an inch in diameter. For the first few days (and the first few hundred holes) I thought they were Funnel-web holes, housing the most dangerous and deadly spider in Australia. But it appears most are only wolf spiders (just as big, furry and scary, but not lethal). Bum! I still wasn’t gonna stick my fingers down one of them to find out!

We took full advantage of the great scenery, the sunshine (my legs got burnt to a crisp for the first time in about 10 years…), the wildlife, the hills (mountains) and rivers. We stayed at the Adventist Alpine Village, just outside Jindabyne. A great spot. Comfy, peaceful and beautiful. Word up!
