Better late than never.

I realized that I forgot to upload pictures of my last few weeks in Australia, so after 3 months here they finally are!

I spent 3-4 days exploring Melbourne before making my journey to the center of the country. After about 2 days I found myself feeling very antsy and stressed out. I'm definitely not made for the big city.

I arrived in Alice Springs (Map) without a plan. I had no idea where I was sleeping and no idea how I was getting around. Oddly, it comforted me. I relaxed and wondered around for a day, and finally decided to go on an outback adventure with some friends from the hostel. Andddd it's picture time.

A few pictures from Melbourne:

It was really unique seeing the color contrast. Blue sky. Red Rock. Green leaves. White Bark.
