after 2 days of doing just some small things. Like cleaning dishes, writing cards, doing groceseries and looking some tv. Still 2 big things happened today and two days ago. Two days ago I finally called for an appointment to get my learners permit. But instead of the email that told me that I would be able to take the test. The lady on the telephone told me that I was only able to drive in New South Wales and in none of the other states. So that was a big dissapointment. And be able to drive in other states would be a big hassle. So I had to give up that. Including my idea to drive all around australia. So we have to stick to the old plan of driving half of australia. With another big challenge; driving through the desert from south to north. Which probably takes round about 2 weeks with one big stop; Alice springs.
The second thing was that I finally gave in and went to the Belgium restaurant and ask for a couple of days work. Why I had to gave in? My auncle (guido) is a good friend of the owner. And off course Mel as well. So it would be a nice thing to do for them. But I wouldn’t be getting a job just for me. Today I had a try out for a couple of hours. And tomorrow I will get a phone call to see if I can stay or not. If not it was still a good thing. I could get some experience in being a waitress. Which I had never done before. But I stop writing and get a bit of food. And them go off to the beach. Because after the thunderstorm yesterday, today is a bright clear day. (27 degrees)
Ow and yes I am counting the days of to my birthday. I have no idea what that day is going to bring. But I do know it doesn’t feel like my birthday is coming up. The weather is all wrong! Although it is a nice thing to have the upertunity to celebrate my birthday for once like this. I collecting all the little packages and letters that everybody is sending me and will save them to my birthday…. So it will feal a bit more birthday with opening some ‘presents’
Love

I don,t like the idee "through the dessert"
2 weeks ! I know now already that i will be glad when you will be at the other side of auzie!!!
Heyhey,
Now that's a bit of a dissapointment, not being able to do the whole trip. But hey, you're still doing loads of kilometres.. my recon: about 10.000 of them? I think maybe even more. And you will see loads of Australia, including Tasmania, which you like to see so much. So I guess it's not that much of a big deal, right?
Just another 19 and a half hours and you're one year older already! That is, according to Australian time ;) Here you have another 10 hours to wait.
Big hugg from the netherlands, hope you have a nice birthday! And I hope that you get the job!

Name and Email adres are required. Not because I like to harvest email adresses, but because I like to know who you are. Comment to a response I do rarely unless I find a feedback2feedback for MovableType. Don't worry, your email adress is at a clever way protected against harvesters so that won't become a problem.
