“It never rains in southern california”. I can confess that this is not the case. But that was only the first day. Ever since the weather has been beautiful, although the weather back home in Holland is going crazy now (temperatures reaching 28-30 degrees celcius!). What do the people in L.A. do on a hot summer day. They go to Venice Beach. This beach is maybe most famous for it’s setting for the television show Baywatch.
My apologies for the lack of logitems lately. I guess the main reason is that I have not been travelling that much in the last two weeks. And although I really enjoyed myself in Melbourne, there was not much to tell about it for you guys. I spend some afternoons playing soccers in one of the numerours parks, readings books in the botanical gardens or along the Yarra river. Chilled out on a free african music festival.
The other day I went to a match of Australian Rules Football (AF). For anyone outside of australia, where this game is practically unheard of, let me explain. Some hundred years ago, the game of cricket was imported from england and played everywhere in Australia. How to play that game, is still unknown. What was apparant, though, was that the game was very slow and could took hours or even days; a typical match may take up to four days.
Sorry I had you waiting such a long time. But here it is, the story continues.. For not apparent reason I can think of, but me and horses never seem to get along. Ever since I was a kid they didn’t like me, showing it by nervously kicking around, and I did not like them. Showing it by mainly avoiding them, or for that matter any other animal which head is bigger than mine.
Hi there mate! I left the reader behind last time in Byron Bay. Supposedly the most famous, most relaxing and most beautiful beach and surfing place in the east coast. Within a small local community that uses alternative medication and herbs as a way of life and effectively kept out McDonalds it is a place surely different than the usual commercial beachtowns you’ll find. Surfing and chilling on the beach in the daytime, having a party in the nighttime.
