Fie goes downunder

Kangaroo Valley:

So we left Karoonda, I was a little bit sad about it but we did because we are here to see more of australia. Allso the thing with karoonda was that we would work between 8-10 hours a day. Wich is not really the deal when you are wwoofing. But we had an awesome time there.

Anyways so we started emailaing with a woman in a place called Kangaroo valley and she was so keen and she seemed really nice. Both me and Bo were thinking that we would be working a lot less at her house than we had at karoonda. Well, haha, we were very wrong. Allthough we only worked five hours a day I can easily say it was the hardest I have ever worked in my life. And for such an ungratefull person aswell. She was so rude it was crazy.

The only thing she liked in life was her golden retreever dog, a puppy that was so incredibly spoilt that it even put me off. She would constantly be shouting at that bloody dog, whos name by the way was olivia, so imagine a very high pitched voice screaming "LIIVIII, LIVILIVILIVI" (ALL THE BLOODY TIME!) "LIVILOOOOVE" But kangaroo valley in itself was an interesting place I must admit.  And the woman did have a nice swimming pool.

Wollongong:

So we left crazy lady and went on to wollongong wich was an hours train ride from Kangaroo v. At that stage both me and Bo were both mentally and physically drained and on the train we were both parying that the next place would be better then the last. And it was :) Apart from the snakes. Poisonous snakes every bloody where in the backyard where we were working. When the guy we were working for said at the beginning that "Oh there might be some snakes around, deadly and so on so watch your step" I didn't really take any notice because I had allready realised that the guy would be talking a lot in general and yeah well I was stupid. A couple of hours later, down by the little creek thing, bo says to me "What is that in the water sophie? Is it an insect or something? Why are the ducks following it?" So I walk up to the creek and look as the snake emerges from the water and it was horrible. I screamed "SNAKE, SNAKE, SNAKE, SNAKE!" and then I ran. Oh yeah, and then I walk up to the guy we are working for and ask him: "There was a black snake just over there, are they dangerous?" and he replies "Well no, or like, a bite would kill you .. But yeah.."

Another time we found a snake in a log that was 1.5 meters long, a red belly black snake.. deadly of course. In a log, just by the house. I know for a fact that i stood on that log, and Bo claims that he has been sitting on it. Scary.
But my favourite part of living in wollongong was the first morning. The guy we were working for had two horses, one very old and one very young. The young horse was really restless and had a look on its face like "yeah im bad" haha. So, peter, our boss, shows us our house and says "please make sure the horse does not walk up on the veranda of the house, there is a big water tank under the veranda and if the horse goes thorugh there she is dead meat". 
 So the next morning, I can clearley hear the horse just when I wake up, and I think to myself "I better move that horse if she is on the veranda" So I get up, and we were sleeping on the second floor (sort of like a loft) so I quickly glance down on to the first floor from above, still not very awake at all, and there is a horse, standing in the livingroom. Just standing there. In the livingroom. "Bo, the horse is in the house" I say very quietly not to scare the horse, "what the fuck are you talking about?" he replies dreamiley. "well I am only telling you what I can see, the horse is standing in the livingroom". So I go down and just stand there, looking at her, and she sees me and just walks out, thrugh the door that she some how has pushed open. She didn't damage anything at all in the house wich is a miracle. 

That was really, really the weirdest thing that I have seen in my life. 

Blue mountains 

So now we are in the blue mountains, a tourist place about two hours from sydney. We are working in a backpackers, cleaning rooms and so on. It is a really nice backpackers, so relaxed and pretty. So thats nice. We will stay here for a week and then go back to sydney, cause we had to go there from wollongong, and then I am off to thailand wich concludes my trip down under. Feels a bit strange.

So that is a few funny stories about our life at present :)

Be well.
