Hello everyone,
Im doing well. 2 weeks ago now went out to Sophie and Antonia (the german girls that i was working with) and will (from germany but is Dutch) We made homemade pizza and had drinks it was fun.
After i started working at the cafe a few shifts turned into working to much and was working 6 days a week so i decided to cut that down to atleast 5 days a week. Not all the shifts are 8 hrs a day but at least 2 of them are a week. So making enough money to get me by as well just saved some for a little trip down to Adelaide. My bosses are pretty chill but when its busy they get stressed out really fast. I like working the late shift with one of the owners cause we just chill and drink beer lol cause its pretty dead after 3pm.
Been hanging out with the regulars at the hostel alot. Simone from italy, dave from england, grant from england, cameron from toronto, stef from germany, rad from oz, vas from spain, phil from halifax, and ellen from england
Cameron and grant havent been working lately so we've been hanging out alot. Not sure when the last night i havent drank in the last 3 weeks :( the sad part is i have to go to work and they have been just chilling on the beach and sleeping in. I need a really detox right now i feeel really bloated from all the beer and Goon (boxed wine). Grant is a chef so he has been making some really nice meals for us. Lamb one night with mushroom (i forgot to tell him i didnt like mushrooms) so he made me try them in his meal and i loved it. Not mushroom per say but the meal. i have been drinking alot of wine too not just the goon wine. So now grant thinks he can get me to like anything. I told him if he got me to like Corriander i'd be really surprised lol. I probably ate a pound of mushrooms in 2 days lol. Anyways we had spaghetti and then mexican and then chicken wrapped in beef. All amazing food. Then grant thought i should make them dinner lol.... I dont think they understand i dont cook. So we had leftover beef so i made the mexican tacos. Surpirsing turned out really good and ppl in the hostel tried it and thought grant made it :) and i made my speciality desert fruit and yogurt in a cup!!! If it wasnt for them thats probably all i would eat.
Went to the beach one day with everyone from the hostel to celebrate Conan's bday. We filled a cooler with food for a bbq and one with drinks and just chilled on the beach playing touch rubgy. It was really fun. that was the day i drank from 12 noon at the bbq til 630 am the next day... Went to the beach to watch the sunrise :) it was good times. I drunk dialed Cami and sang her 2 songs lol...
Went to the library with simone and got books to help him learn english better. Its slowing working. And then went skating with Grant, Cameron and Norman at a ice rink near by. It was really fun and reminded me of christmas and home.
The last room i was in there was a lady that was atleast 60 yrs of age and wears a mask over her mouth when she sleeps its really creepy and smells funny... Her nickname is Darth Vador lol. Mean i know but really you have to see this lady. And her feet are size 13 i swear. Cameron has size 12 and i think hers are bigger. She used to work in the army and now lives in our hostel appartently, she was here last yr for 6 months and now is back. I went to Adelaide which ill fill you in on but when i came back from Adeliade i had to change rooms so i was in a 4 person girls dorm and now im in a 6 room dorm with 5 other guys. 4 are german guys and then dave. Its not bad there pretty clean.
So i was getting tired of working so me, cameron and grant flew down to Adelaide for a mini vacation. i went for 5 days and there still there til tuesday cause i had to work.
So when we arrived last tuesday we went to the coopers brewery and did a tour of the plant and of course tasted there beer. We tried 14 or 15 different beers they own. They were all really good except many one of the dark beers. We had to wear bright orange vests when walking thru the plant lol. It was really neat. they produce 900 bottles of there lager in 1 mintue. I never have seen a machine so nosiey and move so fast. Later that night picked up some beers from a drive thru beer place where the guy that sold them to us had onnly 2 teeth the box was taped shut (really creppy, yes i know) Then paid $6 each to have all you can eat pizza at the hostel, so that was a good deal.
Woke up on Wednesday at 9am to do a wine tasting tour in Barossa (an hour drive) went to two wineries one called richmond grove and the other Kaesler (where we had lunch). Drove to whispering walll where it was on the water and it was a bent wall that you could talk to each other from either side. It was really neat. Cause we were far away and had to yell if we werent at the points of the whispering effect. Went to a small town called Lyndoch were we a a cup of tea. There was lots of old ppl on our tour but we had so much fun still. Tried Kangaroo meat at the lunch (wasnt bad at all) Tried atleast 20 different wines. Felt really good after all the wine. Went to a look out of the barossa valley, it was called the Menglers hill lookout it was really neat to see all the wineries in the area. Then walked around a town called Hahndorf. Kindof boring went thru a kids cave tour that was $2 to enter lol. Felt like i was high on something. It was all kids things and they played its a small world after all with christmas decorations everywhere. And found a candy shop, where they had a good selection of droppies :). I think everyone knows i like candy now cause ppl keep buying candy for me lol.
Then the next 2 days went to Kangaroo Island :) best thing ever. If anyone is ever in Adelaide go to this island it was UNREAL. We did a tour with 16 ppl. Went Sand boarding in the desert down a huge sand hill. Went kayaking down a canal area where grant and cameron tipped our kayak in the water rigth when were we about to finish!!! Finished a box of goon on our ride to the seal colon. The tour guide said no one had every drank that much and especially in the ride there. We were dancing and singing in the van lol. It was good times. Went to Remarkable rocks where there are weird shaped rocks along the ocean. 2 places to see seals. And one where we got really close on the beach to them. one of the seals was pregant and you could see the baby moving inside here. It was really cool. drove to our accomodation which was on a wildlife retreat. Hung out with Koalas and Kangaroos and then 5 of us slept in SWAG bags out side (which is where you have a foam in a plastic zipped up bag and you just make your bed in it and your head is the only thing showing). The stars were out that night it was Amazing experience to have the animals all around you... Best part of the trip i think. Had a camp fire and roasted marshmellows. On the way back on the ferry they had a trunk full of sheep, reminded me of my Grandma. But ppl kept complaining cause it made our 45 min ferry ride really smelly hahah.
And then last night went out with Dave, Stef, lorenzo and phil to a bar in Cronulla called Northies. It was casual night but fun.
Miss you,
Mieks <3 and cant believe its December!!!! CRAZY
