Hello everybody! Today I am writing in english and I will probably do it more often if not some of my friends wont understand a word. I am back from Tasmania ohhhh It had been a really nice and intense week (very very nice), and today after sleeping a lot we have meet to have lunch in gumal rooftop (fish at the oven), btw if you want to know the name of the fish ask Gordon :P I am very bad remembering these things jejeje. If I have to define the Tasmanian trip in a few words tit would be: Cúcumber (or Pépino), very nice, everybody is kike, 2 murdered animals (possum and wallabie), 4 cars, 15 people ... bufff lets go in order

Day 1 (Sunday April 8th)

We met everybody around 2.30 pm in gumal to take the cabs and go to the airport (its cheaper than the train, anyway the airport is not that far ...). Once we arrived there it resulted that it was too early so we got the boarding tickets and we sat in a table to eat something. The trip was good, less than 2 hours and almost everybody got asleep. When we arrived to Hobart it was already night time, and we grabbed some cabs to our hostel (YHA), and we didnt know the exact address!!! Hopefully Hobart is not that big so it was easy to get there. The YHA was already closed (to late in the night) and they left us a code and a message and we opened the misterious box and we got the key! 15 people in the same room, a lot of bunk beds and dusty blankets but really fun! We were really exhausted so we went to have dinner at Mures (fish and chips basically) and directly to bed (well almost directly) after a chat about nasty, I would say disgusting or scatological things that I prefer to omit and forget.

Day 2 (Monday April 9th)

We got up quite early to go and get the cars and start our trip. We were suppoused to be 4 drivers (the 4 people who brought both licenses national and international: Gordon, Aarti, Ricardo and me) but we ended up being drivers almost everybody. Our cars were pretty nice:
1. Party on fire (Drivers: Ricardo and Uri, no drivers: Koldo and Kike)
2. Ladies car soon baptised serial killer (my car) (Drivers: Silvia, Jurgui and me, no drivers: Min Ji)
3. Cañonero (Drivers: Aarti and Manu, no drivers: Amanda and Sumin)
4. German car (I dont remember the other name) (Drivers: Gordon, no drivers: Jurgui, Kerstin and Sarah)
So we started our trip. Our first stop was Port Arthur, and as Kike and Gordon brought GPS we organized that those would be the first and the last cars. And we left Hobart. Before leaving the city, the two cars without GPS were already lost :P jejejeje but we decided to meet there in Port Arthur. So we started the trip alone. It wasnt quite difficult because Tasmania is not that big and there was just 1 option (1 way) so we reached Port Arthur with the cañonero. The biggest surprise was that we were the first ones! Where the hell were the cars with the GPS? lost??? Some time later the german car appeared but the other guys where still missing ... We started to have lunch. We bought salad, bread, ham, cheese and tomato and we made wonderful sandwiches! jejejeje 1 hour later the guys arrived to Port Arthur. They thought that we were far behind them and they stopped in a beach! .... (no comments ... ) After finishing lunch we went into Port Arthur that was like a prison of last century. We had to pay a ticket to go in because I think that if australian people can sell you air, they will definitely sell you air ... Anyway, the place was good, like a big prison as prison break, with a church and punishment cells and so on ...

We spent there the whole afternoon and after that we went back to Hobart. Again we were supposed to meet in Hobart because we didnt know how to reach the yha and I got there before the GPS car! jajajaja (I wasnt driving that fast!) After having dinner (pasta with beacon and tomato, really good) Ricardo proposed to go up the hill (Mount Wellington) to try to see the Aurora Australis. We got there and it was really windy, I think I've never seen that wind before, but luckily for us we had some blankets to protect from the wind (and some wine too to heat ourselves! Ricardo and Uri were really on fire) We didnt see the aurora, we just crushed into a litle house up in the mountain that protected us from the wind, and we took a lot of pictures like "the blair witch project". After that we went straight to bed again (although we wanted to play a game like psychologist).

Some pictures of the night:





Day 3 (Tuesday April 10th)
That day resulted quite disastrous jejeje (for me basically :P and Sarah too cause a bad bug bite her). We headed up to the east cost (Coles bay and up), the thing was that the distances between the places were larger that what we expected so we had lunch at Coles Bay in the rocks near the sea. Our lunch was the same (sandwiches!)

In Coles Bay:


Having lunch (The salami was the best!):


With Sarah:


and we went up to a National Park to see some lookouts and so. The track was not really difficult but on the way back to the cars I slipped a bit and I twisted my ankle. (dont worry family I am ok now) It hurt quite a lot to walk so Gordon offered gently to carry me :P (that was really sweet ;)) but as I am not an easy burden to carry 1'5 km then the other boys carried me too (thanks a lot boys really) and finally I reached the parking in Gordons shoulders.

Before slipping:


Such an experience to visit a National park like this!


Then we started driving up again because we were far from the place where we were going to sleep. It was quite hard but we arrived there. We went to Coles to buy some more stuff to make sandwiches and more pizza and after cooking we went right to bed again, too tired to play anything. I sent an email to my parents to let them know that I was alive because there's no reception anywhere in Tasmania!!!! just in Hobart! it was unbeliavable!!!!

Pause (I am going to bed) to be continued ...
