Dromana on Mornington Peninsula
Early in the morning, was went to the medical centre in Rosebud to get Andrew x-rayed, to ensure nothing is broken. Everything fine, I drove him up to his place, nice little house, where he is about to move to Singapore. I could use the internet and did some research for long period car rental and some new hosts on me way to Adelaide. Answered emails ...
I drove up to Arthur's Seat and had a quick walk through the Sea Gardens, which is a very nice garden or park on top of the mountain overlooking the whole Philly Bay. The weather was really windy all day, damn cold with hail and gusts of rain. Freezing my head off. Nice vegetarian night meal, a little of Australians Top Talents on TV, don't remember which channel, then to bed, had a good warm sleep. Very calm and no traffic noise what so ever.
The whole house is damn cold and not heated at all, because its not really finished jet. They are about to set the chimney up for a steel stove.

Melbourne – Dromana
Monday 06th of June
Melbourne - Dromana Mornington Peninsula
I left Melbourne by train, quite early in the morning, nice sunshine, quiet in the city. I got a train ticket at the main counter easily. Train up to Frankston, 30 minutes to wait, I bought some postcards, a knife and something else. Hitting the bus to Dromana being there around lunchtime, calling my host: no credit on the prepaid any more! Waiting .. she came and picked me up: Great! Recharging the prepaid failed, shit!
She showed me around in their amazing new house on the farm ground just outside the city. Really gorgeous.
I had a chat with her husband and left for a little walk up the hill into the state park.
I went slow, taking a lot of shots of all these new plants, new to me only, I suppose 🙂
On my way back I got picked up and she wanted to show me some wallabies. Phone call: her friend Andrew pulled one shoulder paddle surfing. So she asked me about car driving: I said that's fine with me.
So we drove up to the beach, better we search it in almost dark, we found him with some guys helping. Andrew still in his wet suit shivering in the cold. We drove up to the doctor on Red Hill who was very skilled and rearranged the joints with ease. Instantly his pain was almost gone. We waited half an hour, relaxing and observing than we went back to the farm house.
Getting a shower, cleaning up my cloth, had supper and watched TV while chatting a little bit.
Melbourne on Sunday a bike ride
Sunday 5th of June
Melbourne
Today I was out quite early with the first sun on the trail by a rent bike, not the best, but fully working included the obligatory helmet.
I hate stuff like that, but here in Australia I have no choice.
I did a big round along the Yarra river an then to the beach at St. Kilda down the beach to the Tasmania Queen quay and back along the tram-track down-town, which is not to big.
Down-town I bought a mobile for calls and was heading to Collingwood, where the hostel is.
Shower and washing and food and laying back.
the was the day.
Melbourne on Saturday

Melbourne
I got up early, had a plain breakfast, just butter, jam and bread, toast, some tea to drink: fine. Got dressed, its quite fresh outside actually, with some wind all the time. The sun was out to day with some light clouds in between. Got myself a clean shave and a toothbrush and some fresh washed cloth. Packed a little food and some water for the day.
There are free and clean public restrooms at many corners and fresh water fontains to drink.
I walked peacefully through Fitzroy Park down-town to Federation Square and popped into sculptures made of Lego bricks.
I liked that even so it was all crowed with kids.
After that I had a break on the stairs in the sun. An walked over the Yarra-bridge to the Botanical Garden. I crossed a BMX Contest.
Passing some rowing boats walking green parks lanes I reached the Botanical Garden.
I took many shots even so the light was no good and mostly shaded too much. Nevertheless there are many beautiful and unknown plants.
Melbourne Friday – Monday

Melbourne
I arrived early this morning after a 22 hour flight straight from London with a quick fuel stop in Hong Kong. It was a little weird to disembark the Boeing 474 leaving your luggage on board heading for the exit and then re-enter after one more serious security check from the Chinese authorities. Seats I had to changes as well. Second place was a little better, with a skinny girl to the left, so more space for me.

2011 Gera Radweg 
Anfang Mai 2011 sind wir, Dirk und ich von Oberhof über den Gera-Radweg nach Erfurt und bis Weimar an Buchenwald vorbei gefahren ... Buchenwald: wunderschön gelegen aber die KZ-Anlage ist echt gruselig, gerade durch die Leere.

Das Jahr althochdeutsch jar, lateinisch annus ist eine Zeitdauer, die je nach Definition eine unterschiedliche Länge hat:
- Im astronomischen Sinne ist ein Jahr die Zeitspanne eines vollständigen Umlaufs eines Himmelsobjekts um einen Stern. Im engeren Sinne ist das Erdenjahr als die Dauer des Erd-Umlaufs um die Sonne gemeint. Dabei wird zwischen siderischem Jahr, tropischem Jahr und anomalistischem Jahr unterschieden, die mit geringen gegenseitigen Abweichungen alle etwa 365¼ Tage dauern.
- Das bürgerliche Jahr oder Kalenderjahr beruht auf dem tropischen Jahr. Es dauert entweder 365 Tage Gemeinjahr oder 366 Tage Schaltjahr. Im Alltag versteht man unter dem Begriff „Jahr“ die jeweilige Zeit vom 1. Januar bis 31. Dezember.
