My best holiday
I have had the best holiday in Australia. It wasn't a relaxing and tranquil vacation, it was a big adventure with elements of madness in some moments. The trip was unplanned. We had been making preparations for only one month. My daughter and I had been waiting for the visas for 20 days. We bought air tickets one week before flying. My husband, our one-year-old daughter, I, two bicycles, child's bike trailer, husband's suitcase with instruments and our camping gear had been flying for 23 hours to this unbelievable and far country.
What do you know in general about Australia besides all the Australian animals want to kill you? I have known bigger than ordinary people. I have read Australian blogger's articles that's why we wanted to live in a tent in bushes for saving money.
My husband had been working for a week there. Three other weeks were spent on our travelling by bicycles. We were in the middle of nature and did to camp out illegally every day in bushes with poison snakes and spiders. Perhaps, they wanted to kill us but we never met with them, fortunately. We met only a lot of angry ants, a terrestrial leech and I was bitten by a mite on my head.
Australia was a very expensive country for us. We often were window-shopping and dreamed about mouth-watering food. Mainly we lived to rough it and were eating junk food to make ends meet. We are undemanding travellers but sometimes all became a bit too taxing for us. Especially as we travelled with the little baby.
Nevertheless, we fell in love with this wonderful country! Australian nature is the strangest which I saw. When We rode by bike in Australian National Parks I always looked for edible food in the wild because I am a biologist. Usually, I can find food in the wild nature of the northern hemisphere. I know which ones to use. In Australia, there is basically no edible food in the wild, although I am sure if I learned more about it I could find it, it is so bare here that I think it would be very hard to do so. I found (and it was eaten, of course) only mint and parsley in a Botanic Garden.
Once we couldn't ride past a little family-run cider production and had come for degustation. Unfortunately, recently this beautiful and cosy place was damage to fire.
I have been following attentively to the news about fires in Australia since this Septembre. I can't have to will believe what a lot of fantastic places were burned which we were visited there.
