hey folks
It’s been ages that we updated our blog. So here we go!! It happened so much in the last months, but we will shorten it a bit. And to be honest i have no idea where to begin with aaaaall the stories!!
First of all: just the 2 of us, manu and me, are left at this stage in Australia. Max went home in March and Daniel went home about a month ago and surprised his family and friends completely cuz no one expected him. We changed as well our accommodation a couple of times. after we got kicked out of the ymca (loooong story, even we are not sure so far why.... one reason could be parties, swimming in the night, consume of alcohol in the venue, ...) manu, daniel, gully and me moved to the youth shack and brad left Darwin and moved to the outback. manu and me got really soon sick of youth shack though, but luckily we found a reeeeally nice apartment in knuckey street. Daniel decided to stay in youth shack and gully found a house in marrara.
To the job situation: daniel became a really successful manager at red rooster and he was Max’s Boss. Btw, Daniel got a promotion after the second day... and if we consider the fact that his boss was gay... mmmhh... everyone can imagine what that means =)) Anyways, after Daniel left the store had to close down and everyone lost their jobs (only joking =)).
Manu found a second job as a travel agent for peter pans for a couple of months, but kept on working in Shags. I started a second job in the coffee club. We had some really stessful days with 16,17,18 and more hours a day, but we just wanted to earn as much money as possible. But the problem with more money is, that u have as well more money to spent. That’s the reason why we got regular customers at the shopping centre in casurina. The both of us had already to buy a suitcase cuz we had no chance to fit everything in our backpacks.
so, what else happened in darwin.... we met tom green, we got a call from the police to help them to solve a murder, we went to the V8, we spent a great day in Lichtfield National Park, we had campfires, were drinking beer at the mindl markets while watching the sunset, we followed the euros and cheered like crazy for Italy, we celebrated all the Aussie festivals, worked on the Icecube concert, had some amazing picknicks, saw heeeaps of crocs, spent hours at the waterfront, got spoiled with self-made Brekky/Lunch/Dinner, worked for the parliament house and met the first lady of the NT, saw “My week with Marilyn” in the Deckchair Cinema, met 2 rugby teams with the hottest players u just can think of, we were singing Karaoke (what’s my age again - blink), annoyed kangaroos and tigers, were drinking like crazy, worked on St. Paddys day in an Irish Pub (was not really nice, but manu and me had some drinks first... so we were hangover at midnight =)) and of course: we met the most incredible and nicest people ever. I think we really found some friends for life! Thanks guys 4 everything, 4 every single shot (even if we could have killed u the next day =)), every hug, all the fun we had together and the amazing friendship!!
Hope to see everyone of u again and don’t forget: New Years Eve 2011/12 in Dublin!!
At the moment manu and me r sitting in the plane on the way to bali, it’s our last little holiday before we take the flights from Darwin to Sydney/Melbourne and then back home to Italy. We r really sad, can’t imagine to leave everything behind here, all the friends, the good life we had...
But life goes on, and we'll see what the future brings. Hope we have some amazing days in Bali and can enjoy the last days overseas! And as it says already in one of our favourite songs: every new beginning comes from some others beginnings end...
