16 Augustus 2010 | Australië, Mildura
It's around 8AM on monday the 16th of august and I'm finally leaving Mildura. Really, this time I am! :P
Leaving in about 3 hours with John. We first pick up Shelley and then continue direction Adelaide-Perth-Broome. Be there around oktober, where Shelley and John will leave me again. So my planning has changed again. :P
So, what have I been up to since my last update saying that I was back on the almond farm, armed with a chain saw. Well, the answer is simple: chain sawing. Went quite well, some days 200 dollars, but unfortunately some days being there and not working as well. All in all managed to save some money, but then my Rego (registration/tax for the car) came and byebye savings. :P And they're (as usual) behind with paying. So, on the road again without money, I love the adventure. :D
Other stuff I've done since then: reading, learning and cooking. For example, read HP and the Deathly Hallows this weekend. And did an self-studie-course in palm reading. :P Also practised a lot of new recepies: f.e. made and apple tart for Maria's B-day, an cake with sultanas and chocolat coating for Sorcha's B-day and and 'special dutch' cake for last BBQ. :#
And we had a nice goodbya party saturday. In theme (pics are already on facebook). So much people came! The whole hostel, including the asian people and even the owner!! Did a nice little break dance performance with him. :P I spent the day cooking and decorating with Canada (Rachelle, roommate). Rich (roommate) did some shopping and slept the rest of the day, so he was the one to clean on sunday. :) Was a really good party, everybody was quite pissed, but we had fun! And they loved my cake, chocolat mousse, and punch. But my sangria was the best. :D Also some nice costumes: an after nuclear war theme, so lots of ripped clothes, face paint and tin foil. And the place looked cool as well in candle light with a writing wall and tin foil wall with drawings. Again, I refer to my facebook for the pics!
Well, gotta go. Still have to pack, bake a cake, a bread and we'll leave in almost 2 hours. :S:S
Miss ya all!!
