Apparently Socrates once
said, 'He is richest who is content with least, for contentment is
the wealth of nature'.
While I'm not easily
content with 'least', I still consider myself a rich and wealthy
person. Especially taking the last two months since I broke my foot
into consideration. Recovering took quite a while, but I was
constantly surrounded by lovely people, looking after me in many
wonder full ways.
Kaye and her parents and
friends: Thanks a lot, I had a great time with you and am looking
forward to seeing you again in two days. Awesome activities on
crutches :-)
My family and friends in
Austria, with whom I spent a lot of quality time and made many great
memories. Thanks folks!
And then there was a cool
trip through stunning Iceland with a good friend of mine –
something that wouldn't have been on the cards if the broken foot
would not have happened. Another two things ticked off on my bucket
list ;-)
 |
| Waterfalls galore in Iceland |
 |
| Ice from the glacier at the beach |
 |
| Cave with a geothermal pool |
 |
| Water runner |
 |
| An arctic tern |
 |
| Humpback whale |
 |
| One of my bucket list items that I could tick off: drinking vodka on the rocks with thousand year old ice from an iceberg from a glacier ;-) |

| A typical scene in Iceland aka a sheep's family photo |
 |
| A puffin |
In addition, I spent a lot
more time reading interesting books, meditating daily with
Holosyncand listening to amazing podcasts, like
Christopher Ryan'sTangentially Speaking or
The Bulletproof Podcast. And on the negative side: I gained a lot of
weight as I totally disregarded what I should eat and instead ate and
drank whatever I could get my hands on and did I mention that I did no sports for almost 2 months! Something totally unheard of for me. This will change again very
soon!
Tomorrow I'm traveling
back to Melbourne to resume my trip, two more months to go on this adventure. I guess and hope it's going to be warmer there than in Iceland.
And to all the readers of
my blog: it will be regularly filled with words and photos again.
