One week from now I will be heading back to Australia. I am looking forward to it. Getting back to the heat, sun and family. Not looking forward to the two days travel but I guess that's the price I have to pay for being born in Australia and living in Berlin.
I tried to arrange flights from Berlin to Frankfurt to catch my connection to Australia but it means that I would have to wait 14 hours in Frankfurt airport... Not going to happen. I once spent 8 1/2 hours in Sydney airport waiting for a connection to Brisbane. So I have decided to travel by train. DB will be my chauffeur and my limo will be the ICE. Never traveled on it but I hear good things.
Its been pretty hot back home, in case you haven't seen on the TV. 47.5 degrees, nice. To add to that 2/3 of Queensland is under flood waters. To give you a rough guide as to how big the state is ; Queensland 1,730,648 km2, GB 241,590 km2. So thats about 7 times the size of GB and 2/3 of that is under water. Why are the Poms complaining about snow? There are snow ploughs, there are no water ploughs.
Anyway, I am on a mission to get alcohol from Australia for a party tonight. I have no idea where I am going to find some here in Berlin but have been given the name of a bottle shop in P'Berg to try. If i am unsuccessful then I will just have to stick an Aussie label on a bottle of Becks.
I am so proud of myself that it wasn't 4 months since my last post. 
Hope all is well with you lot. Talk to you later.
