Made it!

AAHHH!! It's so beautiful here!

Finally made it to AU and to the Gong, as they Aussies call Wollongong. So much drama with my flights, though. First one was delayed so I wouldn't make the next flight, had to completely switch everything around. Got put on a flight to Denver. Met a cool guy in Denver. Avid climber for about 20 years, had a lot to say about that, interesting to talk to. And the guy on my other side, well, he smelled like pine needles and tree sap. On the flight from LA sat next to another girl going abroad and a woman from AU, but living in the States. Looooong flight, and I slept through it all. Oh, and one of my suitcases feels like and smells like it was doused in vinegar. Lovely

Made it to the Gong and just settled into my room. Haven't met the roommates yet, but apparently I'm living with 2 girls and 2 guys. It'll be interesting... It's a bit cloudy, but at least it's warm and there's no snow!

Well, I should go explore the town, maybe spend some time at the beach :)
