The stage: As I’m arriving at the end of my trip throughout Australia witch is also my last English speaking country, I think it would be nice to write something in English too.
In fact quite all the people I met so far (since I left Mexico) speak only English.
They know more or less what I’m doing but most off them keep telling me that they understand just…the pictures on my blog.

The trip: Peterborough - Princetown.
Today it was a very special journey, this famous Great Ocean Road it’s…breathtaking...
I rode my bike only 50km and I would say it was the most beautiful trip I ever had in this continent.
During my trip in Canada by chance I spent the night in a place owned by an Indian.
He gave me a piece of paper containing the following thoughts:

Never laugh at anyone’s dreams. People who don’t have dreams don’t have much.
Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before.
Never interrupt when you are being flattered.
Share your knowledge. It’s a way to achieve immortality.
Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk and sacrifices.
Remember that your character is your destiny…if you improve it you’ll have a brilliant life.
Remember the three R’s: Respect for self, Respect for others, Responsibility for all your actions.
Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
Spend some time alone…you’ll discover how you really are…
Remember that the best relationship is one where your love for each other is greater than your need for each other.
Be gentle with the Earth…otherwise you’ll pay “the bill” for any mistake.
Open your arms to change but don’t let go of your values.
Talk slowly but think quickly.
Don’t let little dispute injure a great friendship.
Learn the rules than break some.
Judge your success by what you had to give up in order…to get it.
If you make a lot of money put it to use, helping others while you are living. That is wealth’s greatest satisfaction.
When you say “I love you” mean it.
When you say “I’m sorry” look the person in the eyes.
Believe in love at first sight.
Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it’s the only way to live life completely.
Don’t trust a woman who doesn’t close her eyes, when you kiss.
Marry a woman you love to talk to. As you get older, her conversational skills will be as important as any others.
Don’t judge people by their relatives.
When you loose, don’t loose the lesson.
When you realise you’ve made a mistake take immediate steps to correct it.
In disagreement with loved ones, deal with the current situation, don’t bring up the past.
Mind your own business.
Read more books and watch less TV.
Trust in God but lock your home.
Pray and be positive at any moment. There’s immeasurable power in it.
A loving atmosphere in your home is so important, do all you can to create a tranquil and harmonious home.
Memorise your favourite poem.
Live a good honourable life. Then, when you get older and think back, you’ll get to enjoy it a second time.
Approach love and cooking…with reckless abandon.

Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
I finish this memorable trip in a small and quiet town Princetown and I was fortunate to find the backpacker The 13th Apostle (ph.+61355988062). Besides I had the room only for myself, in fact I was the only guest.
