Do not be fooled by the date. Although the post is dated December 3, the narration of the trip is still on the first weekend in October.
Lorenzo started, to Sydney. I stop in Melbourne, to reorganize ideas and seek a job. Last Saturday we celebrated with a long night, the end of our journey by car from Perth to Melbourne in the late afternoon beers at the pub, a dinner of specialties Thai disco at night and sunrise at Revolver, a local historian of Melbourne from Friday evening to Monday morning is always open. For many clubbers, this is a "last resort".
Melbourne's spring, roll a lot of wind, the sky is overcast, the water showers are frequent and the period of horse races. The city is lively, interesting, with a lively cultural scene and music. From my hostel, converted from an old convent, I can walk to Brunswick Street in Fitzroy, where most pubs and live music venues. Here the pace, especially on weekends, goes up to the sidewalks, where concerts are held improvised.
Soon I also found a job two weeks to ride on the racecourse and the gazebo tents of Geelong, a town 80km west of Melbourne.
Arrival in Melbourne ... I leave Melbourne. I close a chapter. The journey from Moscow to Melbourne, the Asian long journey overland from Russia to Australia, is finished. The wind that had blown up the sails stopped blowing. The ship is in port, moored. Will set sail again?
December 3, 2008, Villa d'Adda, Italy.
I came home a few days. Embraces family and friends, so many emotions, old and new. I decided to share: the train journey, once set in motion, it is difficult to get off.
I'll be back in Australia, I want to spend a little more 'in the wild outback of time and comparison with its immense spaces, the bitterness, the hot weather, flies and intolerable be repaid by sunsets and sunrises that inflame the horizon that they know of rebirth . It will be a period of work before leaving for Asia to Europe, where the route will take me to revisit beloved country (Indonesia) and to explore new territories (Iran).
Soon I'll be back on the road. René
