DREAMWORLD!

Let me bring you through my day, describing the horror of each ride the best I can.

Wipeout

First few seconds go "Alright, this is fun" until they turn you upside down and around and around....and around. It was good fun though, you know if you disregard my growing sore throat.

Giant Drop

The view from the top of the tower was fantastic! It was breathtaking.. if you exclude the fact that they were going to drop us without any notice. Everyone grew quiet at the top of the tower in fear of the moment they drop us, everyone but me. I kept gushing about the view until our carriage was dropped and all I could hear was my painful scream. After a few seconds, it came to a sharp stop and continued its descend slowly. I was laughing hysterically at the end of it.

Tower of Terror II

At the side of the exact same Giant Drop tower, is another horrifying ride. Sit on a carriage and expect it to pull you forward going up the tower. But it doesn't. The entire carriage pulls you backwards at maximum speed, the only thing keeping you in place is the safety on your belly and shoulders pinning you down. you end up at the top of the tower, the carriage completely vertical while you stare down to your doom before they launch you back down. That was a few seconds of pure terror and sore throat.

I met new friends too. A man who looked like he has been sitting on that bench for quite a while and.... a prisoner who tried to convince us to let him go.

 ....because this butt doe. THAT BUTT. 

Sorry, I couldn't resist. I just couldn't.

Now that's something you don't see everyday. Wi-Fi?! At a market?! Whaaaaat.

Morning was filled with the familiar sound of shoes grazing on the pavement floors of this all too familiar market.

After a much needed sleep, no chills at night and voluntarily getting myself out of bed, day 1 began!

I don't know about you, but every single year we take pictures of this beautiful scenery, I ask myself, how rich do you have to get to own a house like this? You know, a tennis court and a grand drive way (which you can't see in the picture)?

Touchdown Brisbane!

I am away spending my May holidays in Brisbane, a place that feels almost like a second home. I have been visiting Australia ever since I was 5. My family loves it here so we've been coming back for annual family vacations ever since.

Each and every year always felt the same. Visiting almost all the same places and experiencing all the same things.

This year, however, I decided it should be different. Stress has been eating me away for the past months and even year. I haven't had a complete break from all the work I've managed to bury myself in so I thought this vacation could be a turning point for me. I boarded the plane determined to see things in a different light and a much brighter perspective. I hope to find peace of mind and more inspiration in these 3 weeks.

My daily journey these 3 weeks will be documented here, so I'll be taking you all along on the ride! I'll try my best to put up an interesting blog along with amateur pictures. It'll feel like we're all in this together. See you all here tomorrow!
