Dear Gran, Hope everything is going well at home? I can’t believe it is a whole month since I last saw you. I am having a fantastic time with Sam and Robin and their family It is really strange down under. I am sitting here with my Ipad looking at photos and videos that I have taken of all the awesome stuff we’ve been doing. I have a few photos of our first day, where we went into Melbourne city center, where we just experienced the city life, you know, went to cafées and such, while the girls were out shopping, Sam, Robin and I went over to this huge Ferris wheel called “Melbourne Star Observation Wheel” So I have a lot of pictures of the whole city that you can see when I finally get home. Then on the first Sunday, we were there, we had tickets to the annual Melbourne Formula One Grand Prix which is the first race of the whole season. This was my first ever Grand Prix that I have watched in real life. This was probably one of the if not the coolest things of the whole trip. We also went a bit outside the city. We took a road trip to drive on the Great Ocean Road. We have heard it should be really beautiful from a local that we met when we were in the city And that reminds me, their accent down under is really strange. It took a couple of hours and it was a bit weird driving on the left side at first but I got used to it. Then when we arrived we had misjudged the time it took to drive there and when the sunset happened so that was a bummer, but I weren’t really excited for the road trip anyway as I thought that it would be pretty boring just to drive on a “beautiful road”. We also had a day alone on the farm. Oh, I completely forgot to tell you that we live on a very very small farm and it is extremely cozy or as the Danes would say, hyggeligt. It’s located a bit outside of the city and it takes like half an hour to drive there. I think that it’s a family farm or something but I'm not entirely sure. But as I said, we live on a farm and we had a day alone. Sam and Robin's parents went out to the Yarra-Valley to taste some wine and such. We, on the other hand, stayed home on the farm. On the farm, there was a lot of goodies and I mean a ton of fun stuff. There was ATV's, dirtbikes, fun little golf cards, offroad buggies
