New Update part one

So it has now been nearly 3 months since i have been with this pretty awesome family :)

what an exciting month November has been so far :),
I have hung out with a few more Au Pairs again, meet a new au pair called Sandra who is from Germany, we went to the water front for lunch, had a pretty large burger that ended up being just far to much to eat, afterwards we walked a little bit along the waterfront checking out the fridge festival that was going on, which was pretty interesting,

the fridge festival was just pretty much, art work done with fridges that no one uses anymore, which was pretty cool, there was a doctor who one of the police box.

After looking at the fridge festival, we walked along the esplanade for a little bit, chatting away, afterwards headed back home.

over the next few days i spent studying and looking after Jonathan,  i also managed to sit my exams as well, so now i have officially finished studying for the year which is just great, so now i can do more sightseeing around Darwin and also read a few more books :).

I have also caught with my friend from Italy Vale, we went to Crocudylus park, which was pretty good, tried crocodile meat for the first time, it really only tasted like fish, but it was yummy, also had the chance to hold a baby crocodile,
there were so many other animals there as well which was great, there were some lovely White lions, dingo puppies as well as beautiful Timor ponies :)

The next day i went and hung out with my other great friend Dilan at the Palmerston shopping centre, we first had coffee and chatted, looked around then ended up having lunch, that was a lot of fun :)

that is the end for part one at the moment, part two is full of Adventure

Hello Darwin

Finally after what felt to be a slightly long flight i have, although not as long as when i headed to Berlin,

at 6am i flew from Christchurch to Sydney, it took almost forever to get through the check in at the christchurch airport.

the flight to Sydney was good, i was in the middle seat so i didn't see much out of the window, i got free entertainment so i watched a movie, the movie that i watched was Planet of the Apes (2001) it was a good movie.
also had breakfast which was pretty average breakfast, eggs, baked beans, sausages and fruit but with a good cup of tea to go with it :).
once we landed in Sydney it was a nice day but cold and wet, didn't end up taking all that long to go through customs and get my bag before i headed off to find the train to be able to head to the domestic terminal that i needed to get too, after that i got myself all checked in quickly ffor my last flight then i just pretty much relaxed and waited before i could go, had a wee snack and checked out the Qantas heritage centre which was pretty cool to learn about the long history of the airline.

The flight out of sydney which left there at 12pm, was very bumpy as it was very cloudily and happily i got the window seat i watched a movie called Captain America: The WinterSolider which was actually pretty good to watch, i had also watched a little bit of Call the midwife, sherlock, Big Bang Theory and listened to a bit of Johnny Cash as the plane was coming into land

Had such a yummy lunch on the plane it was just great Roasted pumpkin pasta, with creamy spinach sauce it was just great mmmm

its so cool flying over the length of Australia because the landscape changes a lot  and it looks just great

flying into Darwin was ok expect when we went to land think that the pilot went a bit fast as we skidded hard the the plane went sideways.

Esmee and wee Johnathan was there waiting for me which was great, didn't feel the heat either for awhile once i arrived, i was pretty exhausted by the time i got there, we went to have a coffee and a yummy carrot cake, then headed back to their very lovely house and just relaxed for a bit. :)
