Six weeks in Adelaide already - time flies when you’re enjoying yourself. On Tuesday it was time to move on and in the early afternoon I waved goodbye to my home of 1.5 months through the window of an airplane. The rather tiny E190 jet climbed up and away from the state capital and the view from above showed the dry vastness that is South Australia. The flight over to Brisbane takes 2.

In the last months I’ve seen rainforest, tropical beaches, waterfalls and lived in an area of Australia that is said to be one of the most relaxed. And then I came to Brisbane. During our visit I still felt like my clock was ticking in a different rythm. Everybody was hurrying, people were wearing suits and designer stuff and parking in the CBD costs like $20 a hour. Still, I have to cut Brisbane some slack.

Monday Nov 22nd. Day 16 of our road trip starts with sunshine and a beautiful blue sky. From Rainbow Beach we drive half an hour up to Tin Can Bay to see and participate in the daily dolphin feeding. Our next stop was Noosa and the Sunshine Coast. The Sunshine Coast didn’t really deserve it’s name when we saw it. It was more like a “More-rain-than-during-an-average-cyclone Coast”. We kind of were used to it and decided to make our way to Brisbane that day.
