Today stated off slow – I went to see the downtown with the goth guy whose name I don’t remember anymore. To be honest, I`m not terribly impressed with this part of the city. Lots of boring big buildings with …

Auckland is awesome! Within the first few hours here I was on a boat, on a hill, in a tunnel, among villas, and at an acrobatics-burlesque show. But all in order. I arrived a bit late so instead of going …

OK, that does it. Too hot. A climate in which one cannot leave a bar of chocolate unattended for half an hour least it dissolves is not worth living in! Today was a working day. I dropped off Charlie to …

Today we woke up at an ungodly 5.30am to catch a 6.30 bus to Bendigo. We almost saw the sunrise – the one moment when we could use the fact that everything is flat, we spent at the Swan Hill …

It got me. It really got me. I think that yesterday I was just too excited to feel it and managed to stay OK for one day, but the delay only made it worse… It’s like a monstrous hangover-comedown from …
