The Southwest.

The spanish speaking group in Perth decided to make a weekend out and obviously I was not going to say no to something like that!. The plan was easy but tiring, leaving early Saturday and make it to Albany at night after going to 3 trees we could climb...



... and a national park. That same night, just for my Australian experience to be absolute, I hit a Kangaroo with the car, not proud of it.

Next morning, we went to the Tree Top Walk, which was amazing and I highly reccomend it if you have not enough guts to climb the unsafe Gloucester/bicentenial trees. The last two stops were the Elephant rocks, a beautiful beach with huge elephant like rocks (who would have guessed) and the bridge, that is awesome too. The only problem in the coast is the wind. There is waaay to much of it. Some australians seem to enjoy it but I find it annoying at a whole new level.



This trip is a must, but 2 days is not enough if you want to really take your time. Denmark is a good option for accomodation, you can get a double room for 55 dollars.

Oh no... MY DRAGONS.

[No pic because this post would be delayed forever if I have to wait till I remember to take a picture of it.]

This, this is the ultimate game. I do not want to play to anything else for the rest of my life. (uh, maybe Descent, but just because I have never had the oportunity). You are a commander from a dragon fleet and you have to get the Dragonlance. The most awesome setting for a game ever. It even has basic and different levels of advanced rules, you can have a pretty complicated game when you reach the top difficulty.
Since I cannot stop praising the game, I will just say that the only letdown is the chosing of the generals for the dragon armies. The Takishis side is perfectly done, but the metalic dragons are a bit of a mess. No Laurana, Tanis leads the Bronzes (because he... is the main character?), Gilthanas, just to be ironic, leads the Silvers (that is actually amusing and I approve of it), and Gunthar leads the Golden army. Yes I am a bit pissed about the lack of Laurana, specially because Gunthar does not really fit with the power of his army (he has magic affinity for some reason I do not understand), but I can forgive anything, my game is complete and I finally have all the dragons, which were in the store somewhere and not inside the game.

Have you noticed?. I have not even mentioned Raistlin (and complained about the lack of him) in all the post, I am so proud of myself... wait, oh fu...

I am... sort of back. I will start doing the rest of the Australia posts as soon as possible and then, I will go back to spanish I think. I quite liked the change and may do a couple of posts in English now and then, I need to avoid loosing it again, as it happened to me after Belgium, but I have had too many complaints about the effort it took to read English all the time...

So. I am sad now. I miss it there, even though I am happy to see everyone, but there... there I had geeks, which is something I have not had in Spain for a year now. (What, a year already?). I mean, in my city. And in large quantities. I am not forgetting about any of my possible readers that might be offended by this.
And also... there I had labmates that actually became friends, here I found an empty lab with not so friendly occupants.

Even so, I am happy to see you all again in the same time zone, thanks for remaining here while I was away.
