Mumma! Forhoppningsvis kan jag ladda upp foton pa nasta stopp! Snart ar det dags att nanna kudden.... Ska upp 05.30 imorgon..... :)

Hi again! I'm in the outback, with no phone reception, but a computer at the hostal! Nice, ahhhhh!!! We are staying at a different hostal each night, and at least this one have internet connection.
We are a group of 19. Perfect size, and a great gang right from the start! Tonight we are staying in a village called Cervantes (300 people living here...). We have been at the pinnacles and the sunset and we have had a lovely day! We just finished having cake (a birthday girl in the group). We are waking up at 05.30 tomorrow, so it's soon time for bed....
Hopefully I can upload some photos next time!
See ya!

The Lucky Shag Bar

Hej igen! Detta blir sista bloggningen pa en vecka. Imorgon aker jag pa en veckas tur anda upp till Exmouth. Kommer inte riktigt ihag vilka stallen vi kommer att besoka, eller vad vi ska gora.... (det var ca 3 veckor sedan jag bokade), men det blir nog bra. Har ser ni ett foto pa ett trevligt stalle precis vid Swan River har i Perth. Namnet kan verka nagot udda: The Lucky Shag Bar.... hahaha! Ha en bra vecka dar hemma!

Hi everyone! This will be my last input for one week. Tomorrow I'll leave for a one week trip up to Exmouth. I don't remember what the trip includes....(I booked it three weeks ago), but I'm really looking forward to it! I'll tell you all about it later!

Like the photo? Yup, it's a nice place by the Swan River here in Perth. The name is a bit odd: The Lucky Shag Bar.... Don't ask me why, hahaha!! Have a great week everybody!

Java Joe

Jobbdax! Vi anvander bara frukt, utan tillsatt socker i vara juicer och smoothies. En mellan juice kostar 40 kr, och en stor 50. De ar hemskt populara, sa det gar pa lopande band! Jag trivs jattebra, underbara kollegor och trevliga kunder!

At work! We use only fruit and no added sugar in our juices and smoothies. A regular size is about 4 euros and a big one costs 5. They are very popular! I like it alot, my co workers are great and the costumers also!

Kings Park

Detta ar utsikten fran Kings Park, ut mot Perths centrum. Visst ar det fint! Hit gar jag ofta. Harom dagen hade Pepe, Oliver och jag picknick har. Lite vin och ost, det ar aldrig fel! Det ar numera en tradition, varje vecka blir det picknick! Puss o kram till alla dar hemma!

This is the view of Perth center from Kings Park, it's beautiful! I come here often, and the other day Pepe, Oliver and I had a picknick here with some wine and cheese. From now on, that is a weekly tradition! :)

Ricey Beach

Rottnest Island

Sa akte jag till Rottnest Island. Jag kopte en tvadagrstripp, da ingick batfard, cykel+hjalm (pa fotot ser ni hur lagom den var....hahaha) samt en natt pa vandrarhem. Pris i euro: 60. Forsta dagen var lite av en pina pga varmen, men framfor allt pga flugorna! Nu vet jag hur kossorna kanner sig, ni vet nar de star dar o viftar lite pa svansen for att fa undan lite flugor, mendan ogon/nasa/mun ar full av flygfan. Man var konstant omringad av ett 20-tal flugor. Jag svalde en och en flog upp i nasan! Jag kande mig som en ko helt enkelt! hahahaha!
Kvicksilvret steg mot 38.... inte sa kul att trampa pedal da inte.... Denna o ar bilfri, sa alla cyklar. Nar man motte folk sa viftades det hej villt med handerna. "ah, va trevliga alla ar och hejar hela tiden" tankte jag.... men icke, det var ju flugorna sa klart! ;)

I made a two day trip to Rottnest Island. It was a package which included ferry, bike+helmet (the size was pefect, wasn't it...? hahaha!) and one night at a hostel. Price in euro: 60. Not bad at all. The first day was quite horrible.... the temperature went upp to 38 degrees Celcius (100 F). You could be doing nicer things than be pedaling around an islang without any trees, therefor no shade.... The other thing was the flyes! I had 20-30 around me all the time! And as soon as you saw some other people, everyone was waving their hand like crazy, and I thought "what a buch of nice people, waving Hi to me", but NO, that was ofcourse to keep the damn flyes away! hahaha :)

Det fanns en restaurang och ett cafe pa on. Sa det gallde att ha med sig mat, eller i alla fall vatten nar man begav sig ivag. Och med tanke pa skylten, sa trodde jag naturligtvis att varenda pinne jag sag pa marken var en livsfarlig orm! Jag sag manga pinnar under min resa, men inga ormar, tack for det televerket :)

On the island there was only one restaurant and one cafe. You had to bring food and water when you took off on your bike. And after seeing this sign, I thought every single branch on the ground was a poisonous snake!! I saw many branches.... but not a single snake!

Jag at en trevlig frukost pa Dome cafe. Direkt fick jag en ny van, en fiskmas, som garna ville ta del av det goda....

I had breakfast at the Dome cafe. Of course I got a new friend that morning....

Quokkas ar fridlysta djur som bor pa on. De ar utrotningshotade, men ar anda valdigt oradda. Sota, eller hur!

The quokkas is under threat of extermination and these cute animals are living on the island!

Jag cyklade runt nastan hela on i tva omgangar. Jag var uppe i ottan och fick alla strander for mig sjalv i princip. Jag badade i Parker point samt Ricey Beach. Inte en manniska, underbart vatten... och sa fanns det inga flugor den dagen!

I went around almost the whole island. I went up at 06 am and I had all the beaches to myself! I went swimming at Parker Point and Ricey Beach. Wonderful water and not a single fly that day.....

Varmt/hot

Royal

Sa har ser det ut kring Royal Bar & Brasserie. Fint va! Det ar underbart vackert! Ni ser en del av uteserveringen, det ar verkligen mysigt att sitta, ata och dricka har! Nu jobbar ju jag.... sa det ar inte riktigt samma sak... ;) Men anda! Mina arbetskamrater ar jattetrevliga, och jag kande mig lite taskig nar jag igar sa att jag inte kunde jobba mer.... Jag stannar dock veckan ut. Fredag, lordag och sondag fran kl 12.00 till 23.30. Sa har det sett ut de flesta dagar jag jobbat. Det ar langa dagar. Synd det, annars hade jag stannat kvar!
Jag fick ett annat jobb idag! 30 sekunders gangvag fran mitt vandrarhem! Jag valjer helt sjalv vilka dagar, och hur manga timmar jag vill jobba! Kan det bli battre?? Detta ar ett cafeliknande stalle som heter Java Joe. Jag har gillat stallet sedan forsta gangen jag gick dit, sa av en slump undrade chefen vart jag var pa vag harom dagen och tyckte att det vore battre om jag jobbade hos dem! Sa idag var jag dar for att se om jag gillade det. Helt underbart stalle! Harliga arbetskamrater (alla mellan 20 och 25), och de har verkligen kul pa jobbet! Sa det ska bli riktigt roligt att borja dar nasta vecka!


These are the sorroundings of Royal Bar & Brasserie. It's beautiful and you could sit here for hours just eating and looking at the view! Now, I'm working, so I can't enjoy it as much as I wish, but still, it's a great place to be at! My co workers are great! I felt abit bad when I yesterday told them that I wouldn't come back next week.... They took it great, but still.... I will be working there friday, saturday and sunday from 12.00 until 23.30. It's loooong days, which is too bad, otherwise I would have stayed....
Any who...., I got another job today! It's just 30 seconds walking distance from my hostel, so it's perfect! I have liked this place ever since I first stepped in to the door a couple of weeks ago. And the other day the manager offered me a job, just like that! It seem to be a great bunch of people working there, all between 20 and 25, and they are having a great time at work! The place is called Java Joe and I start next week!

2:a dagen/second day

Sa har jag da jobbat 2 dagar pa Royal. Andra dagen kandes battre nar det galler att jag kande mig sakrare pa menyn, drycker etc. Jag jobbade fran kl 12.00. Hade en halvtimmes rast vid 17, och sen gick det i ett fram till 23.30. Tack vare mina "foppa tofflor" som jag inhandlade for 25 kr i Bangkok, sa slapp jag nya blodbalsor.... Men jag var anda helt slut! Fran och med nu, dyrkar jag manniskor som jobbar pa restauranger och barer!
Jag trivs bra anda. Det ar bra kollegor och maten ar helt underbar! Jag lar mig massor, allt fran hur man egentligen ska bara en bricka utan att vinet eller olen spills.... till att hur mycket det egentligen ar som maste goras for att fa ett sant har stalle rulla! Snart ska jag fa sta bakom baren och da ska det banne mig blandas drinkar! Kaffe ar nagot som jag ocksa verkligen vill lara mig att gora! Garna gora fina monster med mjolken ocksa! :)
Nu i helgen ska jag jobba lite pa Royal (det ar Red Bull Race, sa det lar bli packat med folk), men jag ska aven fa bartraning pa sondag for ett annat evenemang. Jag har fatt ett jobb till!! Den 6e ar det Melbourne Cup Day, en hasttavling som tydligen ar hur stor som helst i hela Australien. Jag ska sta och servera ol pa hastkapplopningsbanan! Kul kul! De betalar 3 dollar mer i timman an pa Royal, och det gor ju inte saken samre!! ;)



So, I've worked 2 days at The Royal. The second day was better. I felt more confident about the menue and the drink/wine list etc. I started at 12.00. I had 30 min break at 17, then I did'n stop until 23.30. It was a looong day! Thanks to my wonderful "foppa shoes" I bought in Bangkok, I didn't get any bloody blisters on my feet.... From now on I worship people that work in big restaurants and bars!!
I like the place, great co workers and the food is the best I have ever tasted!
I learn alot, from holding a tray without spilling the wine or beer.... til finding out how much things there really is to do to make the place run. I'll soon be behind the bar! Drinks coming up! ;) Coffee is also something that I would like to learn how to make, and how to make little figures with help of the milk!
This weekend I'm working some at The Royal, but I also got another job, working Melbourne Cup Day (which seem to be very big all over Australia). On Sunday I'm getting training for the bar work there (I will be at Ascot horse racing track). They pay me 3 dollar more per hour than Royal, and that is not to be complained about! MCD is on Tuesday 6th. I'm really looking forward to it!
