The journey started in a snowy Scanian landscape (felt like -10) with the ICE to Hamburg and an amazing concert in the O2 Arena with my sis. Fettes Brot just rocked the house, it was great!
Paid a visit to Cologne and the family and on the Sunday off to Frankfurt (+3 degrees) and the first leg of the journey to Dubai. Dubai was busy as ever, and the cheesy christmas music really got me taken aback. Had to recover with aweome juice (watermelon, pineapple, mint, lemon) before boarding the flight to Melbourne via Singapore. Couldnt really sleep on that flight and watched what felt like 500 episodes of Friends and Big Bang Theory. Singapore was humid and booooring. Sitting around for 45 minutes just to reboard the plane. But it made me tired enough to wake up just about when we had an hour to go before landing in Melbourne! Beautiful sunny morning in Australia! Adrenalin, endorphines and wat not pumping – I was so happy to finally arrive here! Customs no problem, though they were filmig for Boarder Control and I kind of regretted not to have taken anythin funny with me to become a famous tv person or something 
Now I’m back at the hostel where Marie and Bengt are staying, getting changed and having a shower before we’re ready to explore the city. Get the adventure started, I’m so excited!!!
