These are just pictures I did not upload the last time... Not the fastest computers around here, so I just do not have the patience to upload them all at once...
I am now back to normal weeks, with a proper 2 day weekend, which is really nice. Not much is happening at the moment, we have not had internet for a week at work, because of the thunder strike we had. We are starting to get more and more storms and this one hit us be surprise. Scared the hell out of me :P But hey, it got me a better computer, so I can not complain :)
It hit me the other day that I have not told you guys that the Crocodile Dundee movies were made out here. most of the filming that is done in Australia is a location just 10 minutes north of where we live. I only found out 2 weeks ago that it was that close by, just though it might interest some of you Dundee fans :)
Lots of love

Xmas, already?

Hey everyone,
Yepp, I'm still alive and kicking over here. I know I have not been writing very often lately, but it is just because, like everybody else, I now have my everyday life and there is not much new going on. I could write and tell you every day about my long days at work and that is about it, most of the time. Getting up early and coming home late does not leave a lot of room for anything else.
The company has started planning our Christmas party, that will take place in Darwin in about 4 weeks. I still can not believe that it is already getting close to Christmas. But that seems to be the way it feels most years. The Christmas party plan is that we work like normal on Saturday the 11/12, at the end of the day we take one of the planes and fly in to Darwin. There they have booked hotel rooms for everyone, so after the party, we will stay in Darwin for the night. Then everyone who is working on the Sunday, will have to fly back in time for work :) Luckily, both Saturday and Sunday are my days off :D score! So I can get how ever drunk I feel like :P
me Carlos have had 2 friends visiting the last 2 days, and we went to Ubirr Rock with them yesterday. So I will get back to you with details and pictures from our little trip shortly. But now I have to get back to work :)
*Talk soon, xoxo*

Movie marathon in Darwin :)

On Saturday the chief pilot asked if me and Carlos would like to take one of the planes in to Darwin for its 100 hourly maintenance check. So on Saturday afternoon we flew from Jabiru to Darwin, which takes about an hour. We stayed at the Darwin Central Hotel (all paid for:). Since it was Carlos's birthday I told him that he got to choose what he wanted to do for the night and we would do it. So he chose a re-run of a favorite, room service dinner and some good movies. There was so many good movies that we ended up taking the 24 hour deal, where you can watch as many movies as you like. So we watched movies until 3am, slept until 6am then we had to get up to get to the bus that took us back out to Jabiru. It was fun, although after that I was so tired, I fell asleep 4 in the afternoon yesterday and didn't get up until it was time for work today :) Since we didn't pay for the hotel or the bus ride back, it was still a pretty cheap weekend. And now i'm back at work wondering, did I actually have a day off or was it just a dream? That's how fast it went... Aww well, only 6 days until the next one :)
Have to say that these long weeks are starting to get to me... But I'll just keep on working:)
Talk to you soon!
*missing you*
