Things I want or need to my trip to Australia (and other places):
- Clothes line
- Another towel (I probably need two in Australia)
- Money belt (I wore the old one out this summer)
- Folding cutlery (I experienced that cutlery wasn't always present at all the hostels in Europe, why should it be in Australia?)
- Travel insurance from 1. january (any suggestions to a cheap, reliable one?)
- Visa
- Map over Australia
- Pillow and eye shade for the plane trip
The list will be updated.

Preparations
When you traveling you always learn something. This summer I learned to speak English properly. I also learned that I needed sink plug - doing laundry in laundry places can be really expensive. So I went to Handysize at Oslo City yesterday and bought one. Hopefully I get to use it and if I wont, I surely will later.
I have also bought a book about Australia. Love it. I can sit the whole day sitting in the sofa reading it instead of doing homework. My mum, who is a angel, gave me the old book we used the last time we were in Australia, which is ten years this year. It might be a bit out-dated, but who cares? I also got the adapter. Wagle who lived with me for two week let me lend book as well, so basically I have three books about Australia. Absolutely love it!
I've made a travel box for Australia, so I know where everything is. Clever, huh? Well, I think so because things keep on disappearing in this small apartment. Signe thinks it's elfes, I think it's a thief.

One last clever thing to have is one of those thingies that enables you to use your own headset on the plane. I think my mum and I stole it on a airplane years ago, and it's very handy - you actually get sound on two ears instead of one!

Australia - here I come
Tickets are booked, countdown started and I'm going to celebrate christmas and new year in Australia! I really can't wait! Like last time, I'm traveling by my self - no problem in Australia, maybe a bit boring on the 29 hour long trip over and 26 hour trip back home.
The trip isn't planned at all, all I know at this stage is that I'm arriving in Perth and departing from Sydney a month later. Suggestions to what I can do or go? Please tell me about it!

It's nothing like home?
Hi! Sorry for not blogging in a while, but I'm back in Norway, started school and stuff like that. School's great, have lot of fun, many new friends, but also a lot of homework, essays and boring stuff too. But more about that later, first I'm going to update you about my last days on interrail:
I had a great time visiting my aunt i Germany, but it was also nice to move on - I don't like to stay at the same place for too long. So I headed of to Frankfurt to take the plane to Arlanda, Stockholm - but lucky me, I managed to twist my foot (with my backpack on my back), so I had a nice swollen foot and a lot of pain.. Well, shit happens and swellings disappear.
Stockholm was nice, but very boring too - it basically reminded me too much of Oslo, and that's a bit boring. Meeting up with my Swedish brother, and hang out with him a whole day, that was great. He's such a cool guy!
The hostel I stayed in in Stockholm was brand new so I think I was the third guest staying there. It was a nice place, the host was Russian of some sort, but have studied in Norway and lived in Sweden in ages - however he still only spoke English to me. Funny. This was actually the hostel I had the most trouble getting friends. Then again, I can't get friends for life everywhere.
After a few days in Stockholm, I got a plane with only 25 seats to Trondheim. It was a nice ride if I ignore all the turbulence. At the airport were my sister, brither-in-law, mum, Per Øyvind and my almost five year old nephew waiting. That was nice, and nothing is like lunch at IKEA.
