So long and thanx for all the fish!

Well Murf left it up to me to finish the Australia story. (As it should be, because I started it as well) Murf is save in New Zealand and I am flying tomorrow to Indonesia, Bali. Don't know how much internet I am going to have. But don't try to reach me over my mobile phone. Because that isn't mine any more. I'll contact you as often as possible. And otherwise you just have to wait till I am back in Holland. Because that is only 31 one days to go. And after that long period I been gone it is only a short while.

What did I (&murf) do since we updated you last? Well our highlight was getting rid of the car. Me playing the nice and understanding one. And Murf playing the pain in the ass guy. Lets say that brought us quite far. Our car is worth I think $500 dollar of scrap. But after some hidden (good) cards we were able to fetch $1850,-
That brought us a very nice surprise. We devided that and exchanged it to the currencies we needed. Which made murf quite a bit richer. But it even made me a millionair!!! (long live a very low Rupiah) Off course there are photos from this (probably) once in a lifetime uppertunity. But they are burning them on disk now somewhere up the road. So hopefully next time if my connection and everything allows it. Otherwise Holland is my next stop.

For me it means today a hell lot of packing, sending, and other left overs. My bag will be nicely packed in bubbel plastic because of the fact that a 27 old Australian woman is sentenced 20 years. Because baggage handlers put 4kg of drugs in her bag. (or so she says, her bags were unlocked so quite stupid everybody could have entered.) So my bag will be locked. Plus it is very easy for me to find out if people went through my bag or not. Feels a bit scary to fly. But I will get through.

Last word about australie. I wanted to do this trip already for 6 years. This is a wish coming through. I love to finally have met all my family. And it is all been worth it. Thanx for the experience I will never forget.

So long and thanx for all the fish!

Love Nicky
