Heya! This might not be the best
blog in the world because I am totally distracted by the baby snoring
and Mary Poppins. She looks so cute asleep... so does the baby....
Well what a completely insane year 2012 was eh. I
went to the opening of the F1 in Melbourne and met my ultimate hero
Jenson Button, I stood on a boat as two baby whales jumped out and
played along side it, I snorkelled on the Great Barrier reef where a
giant sea turtle came to swim under my legs, I went to Uluru both at
sunset and at sunrise and travelled more than 48 hours on a train to get
from Adelaide to Darwin. I saw St Kilda win a match at the MCG on my
last day in Australia, I saw Andy Murray play Novak Djokovic in a thrilling 4.5 hour match in the Rod Laver arena, I swam in Lake McKenzie, saw crocodiles jump out
the water at us to eat something, swan in the ocean with deadly box
jelly fish and survived, surfed with dolphins in Byron Bay, went fishing
for the first time and raced a pod of dolphins in the speed boat we
took out, attempted to bungee jump, skydived and took a helicopter up to
Franz Jospeh glaciar and hiked it for 4 hours where I weaved in and
out of ice caves before taking a thermically heated swim in rock pools.
I saw the fireworks at the stroke of midnight shoot off the Sydney Harbour bridge and Sydney Opera House, I did a handstand opposite the Taj Mahal, I stood just one foot away from where Ghandi was shot and killed, I got parasites that nearly killed me, I climbed the Himalayas, I had a Fergburger! I played and spectacularly crashed on a luge in Rotarura, I zorbed twice, stood in a waterfall in Milford Sound during a storm, hiked to the top of Kings Canyon at 5am to see sunrise, saw my NZ family, stroked a wild dingo (don't do that, it was a very dangerous idea).. I did LOADS!!!
It was completely and utterly the most amazing year of my life. And this is why 2013 scares me to death. How is it possible to top that??? I'm so scared....
