First days in Australia

Well, now the road trip have started! We spent 2 days in Brisbane, which was not too exciting. It has a really nice climbing shop (that off all things also sell ice axes...) with cool people and a really cool crag in the middle off the city. We then whent to Boonha, where a crag called Frog butress is. Here I got quite sick with flu but Vibeke got to climb. Since I was to sick to climb we went to the coast to see if we (Vibeke at least) could surf a bit instead. Now we are in Lennox head near Byron bay, which is really nice (much nicer than commerciliced Surfers paradice!), and Vibeke is out surfing while I actually have time to update my blog....


In singapore airport Vibeke went to Fish spa where she got massage and little fish ate of her feets... Vibeke, me and Brisbane


Surfers paradice (which is really now surferce paradice...) But at least we have been there....

Around the world

Mine and Vibekes great climb and have fun trip has now officially begon! We landed in Brisbane this morning, surviving around 40 hours traveling. After trying hard to stay awake the whole day, its finally soon time to sleep :) I most say, Australia is looks good so far, I just look forward to see it in a less tired state of mind... I do however already miss Norway a little, getting involved with some stupid idiot (meaning really cool guy) just before leaving was definetly a good ide, but do have its downsides...

However, the point now was just to give a brief introduction to our great, but more or less non exixting plans for these months. We are as mentioned, now in Brisbane, on a youth hostel. Tomorrow, we are gonna pick up our Wicked Camper Van, that will be our home for the next 5 weeks. We are then heading to Glasshouse mountains and later Blue mountains, where we basically wanna climb. Then we are of to NZ, where my great goal is to climb 1080 and the letter G. We then split ut and I head of to US, Las Vegas and Red Rocks to meat Greg. After that I am gonna end my great round the world trip with a visit to Kristin in Moss!

I'll keep you all posted on what is happening! (Check also out Vibekes blog)
