Great Ocean Road

The entrance to the Great Ocean Road, a beautiful 243km stretch of road along the south coast of Victoria.

Lunch break at Apollo Bay

Johanna's Beach:)

Different houses along the way!

A Backpacker's Hostel in Apollo Bay with the Swedish and Canadian flags next to each other.  They were expecting us!!

The road turns inland through a national park for a bit, but the views were just as stunning

The Twelve Apostles

A very special trip

You all know it by now, but I still wanted to share the good news on the blog.

On the beach by the Twelve Apostles on the Great Ocean Road, Wyatt went down on one knee and asked me to marry him and I said yes!

We're both really happy and exited about the future! Thank you so much for all the congratulations and well wishes we have received since we shared our news.

Thanks so much Emma and Øystein for the beautiful bouquet of flowers that arrived today all the way from Sweden! I look at them and smile.

A year older

So, I'm now officially thirty plus, but I don't feel a day over 25...

Thanks for all the Birthday Wishes.  I had a lovely day in the sun and then a nice dinner at night in the Marina.

Wyatt surprised me (well, he told me a couple of weeks ago) with a trip to Melbourne over Easter so we're off tomorrow for a big city break! Looking forward to seeing more of the beautiful city and we'll hopefully rent a car and drive a bit on the famous Great Ocean Road between Melbourne and Adelaide.

Happy Easter!

Bye Sweden, hello Australia!

I'm back in Oz and with my love after 7 great weeks back home.  It's always so good to see friends and family and to be back on Swedish soil!  A big thank you to all of you, despite busy lives you always make an effort to see me as much as possible.  It means everything to me.  It's terribly sad to say goodbye but I have great memories with me.

Back here I had forgotten how bright and colourful everything is.  Our garden is full of bloom despite it being autumn here(?!) and the weather is surprisingly hot. I caught a cold just in time for my departure, so has been a little bit under the weather the last few days.  The jet lag probably didn't help.  I'm better now though and are looking forward to the week ahead!

 Nice view from my resting place:)

 

Spring is in the air!

I'm getting spoiled over here with friends and family around me and spring is definitely in the air.  It doesn't take much sunshine and warm weather to lift the spirits of everyone! I've only had a couple of weeks of cold wintry weather, but it's enough to make me appreciate the sun more than ever.

 Sisters

 With mum and sis!

 Brunch out at the pier

 I'm aware she doesn't look like she's capable of it, but a minute after this was taken she took off and bucked like a proper Rodeo Horse and I flew off and landed like a sack of potatoes.... I guess she can feel the spring coming like the rest of us!

 Spring Picnic!
