Back to Sweden

Friday and Saturday

07.08.2015-08.08.2015

Now it has become time to end this story. This is the last post and it is about both sadness and happiness. Enjoy!

Friday morning we woke up early and walked together with Magnus, Freya and Gareth to Sandringham Primary School. There we took goodbye of the children. We know that we will see more of them in the future and we look forward to it. 

Then we thought that we should have one last hot chocolate from Australia, so we walked down to Sandringham to a café. Gareth went home because he had some work that he needed to do.

One last time...

On the way home we saw this bautiful tree and decided that we had to take a photo with it.

When we came home we packed the last things and weighed our bags.

Before leaving the house we said goodbye to the bedroom that Freya had borrowed us for the last 8 weeks. Thank you very much for that Freya!

Then Gareth drove us to Melbourne Airport. The Check-in for our bags was not open jet, so we sat down for a while and Gareth had a coffee. After that he helped us to Check-in and then we took goodbye of him too. On the picture we are just about to go to the Passport Control.

When we had went through all cntrols and checkings, we had lunch. Both of us had Pizza Margherita.

Then we had a look in some shops. We knew that we had some time before we had to go to the gate, so we did not hurry...until...we hard them call our names out and ask us to come to Gate 18. We did not know why, so we ran there as fast as possible. But we did not need to worry, because all they did was to give us a copy of the paper that our parents have signed because we are under 18.

A little bit later, we boarded the plane to Singapore.

When we sat down we got our hot towels. We had three seats, because the plane was not full.

During the flight we enjoyed ourselves by watching movies and listening to music.

We also got dinner...

 ...and dessert. Yum!!!

Through the window we watched the sunset.

 Before landing we got a nice pie too.

Before we left Melbourne, Gareth had told us about how you can get 40 Singapore dollars free when you travel with Singapore Airlines to Changi Airport. So we got it. The first 20 dollars we could use for anything in the airport, so both of us used it to have a shower. The other 20 dollars you could only use for buying alcohol, tobacco, cosmetics and perfumes. This one we used to buy nail polish.

The next flight was the one to Copenhagen. On this flight we tried to sleep. We got some hours, but we could not sleep all way.

In the beginning of the flight we were given dinner (again)...

...and in the end of the flight we were given breakfast.

After the two long flights we arrived to Copenhagen 6.30 AM local time.

We bruhed our teeth there and got the boarding passes from a transfer desk. A funny thing is that she was impossible to understand when she spoke danish, but when she spoke english there was no trouble understanding.

Then it was finally time to board the last plane.

It was a very small one and it was not full.

Flying over Denmark.

Welcome back to Sweden!!! At Landvetter Airport we got our bags and took out a Australian flag that we waved when we walked out to meet our families.

Eight weeks have past since our journey begun. It has been fantastic in all kind of ways and we loved to spend time with the people there. We have done so many things and we will keep this close to our hearts for the rest of our lives.

Thank you to all of our Aussie friends!!!

We will miss you and the time with you!!!
