The last day, back in France ...

Last goodbye to this idyllic beach. I really think these three weeks have been among the most beautiful of our lives. Australia is a beautiful country that deserves to be discovered, especially for those landscapes of madness, but also for its culture, its history that affects a lot with respect to these poor aborigines, who still live in the days when their ancestors arrived on Australian soil. It's sad to be living in such cases of poverty. I would sometimes change the world, and give to the poor all the money they need, or at least, all they need to feed them. Valentin, Amandine and myself, we LOVE this wonderful experience, we have learned many things about this culture and life in general, we ressortons stronger and more understandable with respect to all this. We will NEVER forget what we experienced during those three weeks, three weeks rich in emotions, rich in laughter and cascade (little nod to Valentin broke his wrist haha). Here we board the plane (small time nostalgic already ...), small words to the end:

Farewell Australia and we love you, thank you for what you do discover us!

5 days have passed since our last article!

We first visited the Museum of Sydney is the first Natural History Museum of Australia. At the entrance we saw a gigantic Skeleton of Dinausaure! We also saw a gold nugget named Welcome Stranger, weighing 71kg, it's incredible! Amandine, Valentin and myself short stay marvel at it. And then we ended the Hall of Aborigines, who tells us much about their stories and put that value diversity and richness of this culture.

...

The next day, relaxing day, very cool! "Welcooooome to Luna Park!" We were at Luna Park to enjoy some of this day. We are going to do a lot of water games because it was very hot. And then come here right now:

Valentin had the scare of his life! I think he was crying! We have much fun of him afterwards. Mr. sulked for the rest of the time spend in the park.

Two days later we learned to surf, when the last time Valentin had, it gave us really wanted to me to try and Amandine. It was really cool, I drowned several times, especially early on, you would not think, but it is not easy at all! Valentin made me laugh the second day, he called us and said, "Hey girls, look how I'm a pretty boy!" and try on a big wave! It is bad fall and broke his wrist! He was taken to hospital in Sydney.

And we finished it three weeks by one day shopping getaway, while Valentin spent his days in the hospital. We feel good to him when we purchased our memories and we are pleased, while he was suffering like never before. The night we go and look for that we can leave tomorrow morning for France ...

See you tomorrow for the return to our country!

xoxo, Cassandre.

That's still five days passed too quickly ..

But we did still full of great stuff! First, we visited the little coral wall that is located in Fiji. With a tour guide we have little to dive in order visited the underwater scenery exceptional.

The next day we went to the zoo Queensland. In the zoo, they had kangaroos, koalas, snakes, Physignathus, australia the water dragon, tiger cubs.

And we attended a performance of a crocodile.

The Kimberley is located in Western Australia. There are fewer than 25 000 inhabitants living in this corner of northwestern Australia.

This region is hilly and rough, but a stunning beauty, with jagged mountain ranges, spectacular gorges, beautiful waterfalls, tranquil waterholes, ancient art galleries of prehistoric and uninhabitedwilderness .

We could go down the Katherine River by canoe, we swam in thewaterfalls of Litchfield and little has been observing the largest collection of Aboriginal paintings in the world in Kakadu National Park. In the evening we prepare a meal over a wood fire at the footof the escarpment of Arnhem Land.

PS: we have almost returned our canoe at one point during our trip!

We wish you a good night and a big kiss from Australia.
