Just sleeping in my own bed, eating mums food and drinking proper milk, aaaah.. :] Had an awesome time in England though.

Came back to Norway the day before yesterday, and got off the plane in beautiful Lofoten yesterday. Kinda surreal in a way, but really good. Just sleeping in my own bed, eating mums food and drinking proper milk, aaaah.. :]

Had an awesome time in England though. Good fun hanging out with my crazy norwegian girls again. :] After 3 days in London with pub crawls and sightseeing (which means laying down lazying in the park), we decided to rent a car and drive up north to Blackpool (I know, this is the part where all you pommies ask "Why..?!"). What do you do in Blackpool? Well, cheap drinks always come in handy... :D

On our way back to London we stopped in Manchester. Even went to Old Trafford (Linn was too excited!). But yeah, Manchester got this really good place to go out; several rooms so you could choose the music kinda. :] Us like..

So all in all, England was a proper roadtrip: loud music and singing in the car, emergency-scenario; out-of-petrol, HUGE roadabouts that go the wrong way, getting lost, frustration over crappy maps and so on. Good way to end a long trip.

So this will be my last entry, with photos and all, in this blog. Hope you've enjoyed reading it, and even laughed a few times. I've had heaps of fun, and will never forget this trip.

Remember: There's no point being normal in a world that's crazy, so live life just the way YOU want, and enjoy every second of it.

I mentioned we were going to Disneyland; what a day! It's no wonder everybody in LA is driving instead of catching public transport: it took us 4 HOURS to get there, and it takes you 45 min with car. I can assure you there was an angry norwegian travelling on the Metro that day. Good thing Disneyland wasn't disapointing, cause that could've really unleashed great fury. :D

Well, two weeks on the Cooks is now over. Really a shame the weather was so bad in the beginning (read; Tine on a scooter up on the hill convinced she's never been so wet before in her whole life, INCLUDING when she's been diving). The Cooks was really nice and relaxing (as the rest of the Pacific) and the people are really cool. Will never forget the nights out in Avarua, the capitol which is smaller than my home town!!! :D

Left the Cooks a bit later than planned though since Air New Zealand had found out they wanted to change my flight without letting me know. Think thats their way of having fun; freaking out poor backpackers :] How smart do you think I looked at the airport a thursday night with NO ONE WHATSOEVER there. Was completely empty, and I was completely confused. :] But worked out in the end and I finally arrived LA the 3. June.

What I've done since I've been here is checking out Venice Beach (lot of funny characters), Hollywood, Universal Studios and... yeah.. MET BRAD PITT! :] Sorry, a bit crazy, screaming girl there for a sec, but it's true, I've met him! All the actors from Oceans Thirteen came to the premiere up in Hollywood, and we just randomly walked past and decided to stop and watch for a while. And Brad Pitt showed up and signed autographs and stuff. He is a really nice guy I'll let you know! We're close friends now... ;]

Tomorrow I'm probably going to Disneyland. Was a bit disappointed when someone told me the rollercoasters there aren't that good, but should be a nice experience anyway. Since I'm such a big kid I'll blend in perfectly with the "high-on-fairyfloss-kids". Mmm, fairyfloss!

Sorry for being such a lazy slob, know I haven't updated my blog in ages. BUT, I have an excuse, have been working a lot and my flatmates computer has been out of order for weeks. Anyway, I'm sitting at a internet cafe now, trying to catch up with everything.

Few things that recently happened in Tine's life:

- Work (which is good, need the money, AND I love what I'm doing, good ey?) Went out with a group of people from work on saturday, was good fun, came home half 10 in the morning. So it's nothing wrong with my colleagues (pretty sure that last word is spelled wrong, but can't be bothered checking it, lazy lazy..) :)

- Big Day Out: Got a ticket for free from my flatmate (can't thank you enough Dane!). For you who don't know what the Big Day Out is; it's a day long festival, the day before Australia Day. Some of the bands playing: The Streets, The Killers, Muse, Trivium, Jet (good), Kasabian (really good), and of course the best of em all: Tool (undescribably good!). I had the perfect spot for the Tool consert, at the very front! Was pretty painful, packed with people, but it was still worth it!

- Been given a lot of new nicknames: Tincan, Tines, Tiny, Blondie (given by my boss, dunno if it's a good or bad thing.. ;b) Maria Sharapova etc. It's because you have to be norwegian to really know how to correctly say my name. :) Useless Pommes and Aussies... ;b

well, apart from that, I've been a lazy slob.. :)

Promise it won't be that long to next blog update!

Linn is going home on Wednesday, and that's shait. A bit sad about that indeed. But we have agreed to make the best out of her two last days Down Under, so I'll guess we'll do something crazy as usual. Have discussed Karaoke, will upload films from that if we decide to do so! :D

After Linn has left my plan is to find a job and an apartment, wish me good luck!

Hola!

I'm in Sydney now, and the weather is beauuuuuutiful. RAIN, thunder and lightning! "There will be trouble in the air..." Anyway, me and Linn are going out on a restaurant for Christmas dinner later, and then World Bar :)

Merry Christmas

I know that I have been writing too much in Norwegian, I'm just too lazy to try to sound intelligent in English. :) Not that I sound so intellingent in Norwegian either. Need to suit my haircolour I guess. :p I'm in Coolangatta at the moment, me and my friend Linn want to catch a few waves here before we go to Sydney. Appearantly it is really good surfing here, we've just been so tired after a long day of wakeboarding ... Ey!

I'm in Coolangatta at the moment, me and my friend Linn want to catch a few waves here before we go to Sydney. Appearantly it is really good surfing here, we've just been so tired after a long day of wakeboarding that we haven't been down on the beach yet... We got a doubleroom here for 30 $ per night, compared to 28 $ for a 8 share dorm in Byron Bay (Rip off!!), so we'll stay here for 3 nights. :)

Fraser Island was cool, I could finally drive a car again! Think I need a bit more practice before I head out on the highway though, we drive on the RIGHT side of the road in Norway you know! :)

Etter Fraser dro vi ned til Noosa for aa surfe litt og staa wakeboard. Av den grunn er vi fullstendig oedelagt i kroppen for tida. :b

Skal proeve aa faa surfet litt her naar kroppen begynner aa samarbeide igjen. Vi drar videre til Byron Bay paa tirsdag, og etter to dager der er det Sydney og jul! Haaper noen har sendt meg noe fint til jul...

Etter Townsville dro jeg opp til Cairns for aa treffe Linn, var saa koselig atte! Vi rocka den irske pub'en paa hjoernet for aa si det saann!

Foer vi forlot Cairns dro vi ut til et saannt kabelbaneanlegg (fint langt ord) for aa staa wakeboard. Foelte oss litt optimistisk der vi bare galant svarte "No, we'll go straight on the wakeboard" da de spurte om vi ville begynne med en knebrett. MEN, vi imponerte visstnok, for gutta som jobba der bare sa "impressive" idet vi suste agaarde. :) Norwegian Vikings! (Vi har faatt mange kallenavn paa turen soerover; Crazy Norwegians, Psychos, The Vikings osv. osv.)

Saa til rosinen i poelsa: Whitsunday Islands! 3 dager paa en skikkelig seilbaat (gammel konkurransebaat), med masse oel, snorkling paa korallrev og bading paa det som skal sies aa vaere verdens fineste strand, Whitehaven Beach (helt sykt finkornet sand!). MEN, skal innroemme at Roervikstranda er noe helt for seg selv. Savner jo litt aa ikke bli lam i foetterne naar du hopper uti!

Etter Fraser skal vi litt soerover for aa surfe, har faktisk savna det her oppe i nord.

Rock on! Kjoess Tine

I'm sitting in Townsville now, a small village 6 hours south of Cairns. Been here for a while, not because the city is so incredible interesting (definitly not!), but because I've taken my Open Water Course and upgraded it, so I'm now a Open Water Adventure Diver!

Been diving on Great Barrier Reef and the S.S. Yongala (a sunken ship; voted as Australias best dive). Was an amazing trip even though we had to get up insanely early yesterday for our last dives (2 dives before 8 am!!).

Anyway, I'm going up to Cairns now to meet a friend, and then we'll be travelling down the coast together ending up in Sydney for Christmas and New Years! :)

Stay cool, take care, have fun!

I tillegg har vi dykket paa S.S. Yongala, en sunket skip som tiltrekker seg ALT av dyreliv rundt; det er overfylt av koraller! Saa utrolig masse forskjellige fisker, sjoeslanger (som faktisk er giftig), haier og skilpadder (har faktisk klappet en til og med).

Men naa gaar turen opp til Cairns hvor jeg og Linn skal staa wakeboard, IHA!

Dette er vel det foerste ordentlige innlegget i bloggen jeg har hatt til naa, saa dette er hva jeg har gjort her nede saa langt:

Begynner fra begynnelsen. Forlot Lofoten 1. november med hurtigbaat (viktig med myk start). Fly ned til Oslo, hvor jeg var noen trivelige dager hos min gode venninne Therese som studerer paa Aas.

Tok flyet klokka 7 den 7. november fra Gardermoen etter en natt uten soevn i det hele tatt. Var sykt redd for aa miste flyet naturlig nok. :) Flyturen gikk helt greit foruten om at han jeg satt ved siden av paa flyet var noe "bredarmet" naar han sov, saa det ble lite soevn og mye spising og film paa meg.

Ankom Sydney paa kvelden 8. november og ble der i 4 dager. Skikkelig fin by, masse kule folk og mange brae steder aa gaa ut!

Dro saa paa surfekurs sammen med ei jente fra Finnmark som heter Tonje (vi moettes paa flyplassen i Sydney!!). Kurset varte i 4 dager foer vi tok bussen opp til Byron Bay og ble der i 3 dager. Var skikkelig digg, traff masse hyggelige folk og greier! :)

Holdte forresten en slange isted, en 12 aar gammel pytonslange! :) Var skikkelig skjoenn! Skal laste opp bilde av det senere, maa bare faa laane Tonje sitt kamera, siden mitt selvfoelgelig er blitt oedelagt (fikk sand i det i Byron Bay). Huffa...

Tok bussen fra Byron Bay opp hit, tok 1 doegn! Men det var verdt det, for paa mandag begynner jeg paa dykkekurs! Gleder meg skikkelig masse. Vi skal ut aa dykke paa Great Barrier Reef etter jeg har tatt selve det obligatoriske i klasserom og basseng.

Sjekk ut bildene. Skal oppdatere bloggen snart!
Savner dere alle! Klem Tine
