and we've miss you all lots We've been all over the place and away from home for months and we finally came home and were gunna sit down and take a minute to tell you about our trip.
But its a long story so If you don't have time to read this novel come back later OK?
Well it all started when me and our best mate Amelia jumped in my little white car and took off for Melbourne Via Canberra the nations capital city (as you may know). Yeah a lot of driving and A REDICULOUS amount of conversation. After a lot more driving, constant scares by the police, and plenty of difficult trying to stay behind Steve (hes always to fast or slow) We got to Melbourne. We did this because my good friend and accomplice Premlul Had organized work for us in Melbourne doing grape picking for 6 weeks! Wow! That would be great we thought plenty of work and we could use the money to send containers of goods to PNG done and done the money is in the Bank! (Premlal:) “Oh I forgot to mention theres only going to be 2 weeks of work” oh well two weeks is better than nothing! (premlal: “It looks like four solid days now...”. Damn thats no good well we won't be able to send this container but at least we won't loose money!.
(Premlal:) “we got 2 days of work for sure!”
Im like there probably won't be any work...and there wasn't.
6 weeks of work turned into NOTHING lol Nice one premlul we'll never let you forget that effort!
But Melbourne is a lovely place and you can have fun there whatever your doing We did some other kinds of fund raising and had a great time there. And a few good evenings with Prems brother Kiran a great good man.
But we had hit the road to go grape picking and we had to at least give it a go. So prem found a fellow over in Renmark South Australia who could use workers for 6 weeks. 6 WEEKS! Were there.
But his grand father died on route so picking was called off. So we drove to Mildura and could have gotten work picking table grapes...the ones you eat. except you have to have experience and premlal can't lie.
Lol Yeah premlal's getting a bit of a working over here. But life's like that sometimes.
Well we didn't know what to do But God showed us to go to Adelaide from there to visit our GREAT friends Zeth and Serena Who took us into there lovely home and we are so thankful for it. P.s. it was really great to see you guys and the kids... We love you heaps thanks for everything!
Well after a massive stay and long time relaxing in Adelaide at Zeth and Serena's We left the next day for penola.
We arrived in penola and headed for work interviews with king Nebuchadnezzar Who of course gave premlal the speeches about how drugs make you work WORSE! Don't take drugs, Yeah prem don't!
Anyway even tho we had two under agers and one Muslim Drugo (or so he thought) And only one fit strong worker... Amelia
We still got the job and were starting the next day at 6 am.
We quickly went to whiskers woodshed the cheapest and best accommodation in the whole region Which was basically a big woodshed that we had to ourselves for at least a couple of days.
Work was long but not to tough... I mean at the time it was but looking back... Well I guess what I'm trying to say is we're not still tired.
We had a lot of fun grape picking working with a lot of European backpackers and the keen locals who really know there stuff! And Life wasn't to bad when the French weren't singing too loudly, the Italians weren't swearing and the Irish weren't bludging, and the Koreans weren't talkin, and we weren't too hungover. And the kings speeches made it worth it all... I would love to tell you about what he said while standing on his bucket but its too good I have to make a separate post to tell you about It.
Oh and don't let me forget our Germans. They were the best Germans You would want and we miss them All the time.
I just realised I've written a lot here so I'm gunna give u a rest.
To cap it off we were away for 5 weeks grape picked for almost 3 had another great weekend in Adelaide with Zeth and Serena (thanks again) and another one In melly where me and prem caught up with all our best mates for a massive party. And now were back home job done. Well thanks for reading I hope you like the pics.
