Snowboarding Shirts With Hoods

Finally, work and early date

Now we can finally start working with. I am working here in Sydney and lie no more, as any backpacker until 12pm in bed and think about me then what's for breakfast and what the day well with it brings.
I work in a cafe in a Tower, World Square Tower is the name that is sort of a shopping center. The cafe is Bayswiss:




I'll start there in the morning at 9:00 to 11:00 and work, so it's at least planned, every day between 6 and 8 hours. I get there around 16Dollar per hour plus tips and food, which is good, then I need I do not cook every night or what. I am speaking only on English, which is indeed necessary if one only Australians to have around. Are all super nice and helpful there, is really cool to work there, so makes a lot of fun. I learn there DIR to make coffee, So true: see picture


I have to remember now 15 coffee varieties, and I have got those coffee painting, I learn so call it. So I do first in Germany to a cafe, so I see this art also exercise somewhere. ;-) First, at the moment so I can not yet. Here again our coffee machine:


The payment is also such a thing, for each year, which I am now older, I would get 2Dollar per hour more. So I still have a month where I'm going to get even 17Dollar per hour. And there on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays surcharge, and that's not enough. I am quite satisfied. The cafe is about 2Kilometer far away, but with the metro just three minutes. The subway system is pretty good anyway, if one has since arrived first, is also Sydney not quite as large. Now is still on housing, has also nothing changed, over time, but also what. Sydney is a city suit, all the running around here and not a backpacker, is wearing a suit. And the speed is also higher than elsewhere. On Roltreppen there is even the right is a passing lane so that those who do not have the piece, may also maintain their pace. Otherwise on Sydney, there is a great city but without great shopping, except if you take a few thousand dollars to spare and can go to the boutiques, find a trouser times 900Dollar costs. I had been looking for a black pants, but I would then have to work too long. In Sydney there are no, or very few people who ride bikes, so maybe you can see even one, but the city is not designed for cyclists.
celebrations can be here every day, clubs have a day every day and are well attended, not only am I from, so do not celebrate here like all the tourists ;-)

Now the second part of my signature. Since Daniel now has a very good job in Childers, of course it is difficult to terminate the Here and There to go to new job search. But we will probably take a week or two times in Attack, and I believe in him but do not last longer than me look at the job because Sydney Sasion just move on and some backpackers even have two jobs here. Well, this will work out here.

So, should I go on my work

prepare Until then

Knee Injury In Sailing

Sydney sandstorm, Red alert


silk a week I'm in Sydney and I like it pretty well here. I am now starting to jog every day, always to the Opera House there and back. Is a pretty nice track, especially at sunset. A job I have now been well over a company in Westerstede represented, the name is Stein. Until I first arrived at the center that Chris has chosen for me, 3 hours have passed since the far outside of Sydney City and to drive only with the web a hour must be, then by bus or twenty minutes and then is already almost near the center. When I then arrived there, everything went pretty fast, I was taken to the boss and he promised to find a job for me. Within 2 days I had already a job. I was on 23, this week Wednesday, go to a mall and imagine myself there with a cafe. I woke up in the morning and as we see in the photo, it was all red. I thought nothing and it made me ready and went out. The further I ran, the comic seemed to me everything. Even the people in their cars had those breathing masks. I had the sleeves of my jacket just in front of the mouth, which made not much and what I have then also left. I thought that's often here because the boss in the cafe where I'm going to work now, but to me says it's now bad weather. Then in the afternoon I missed so slowly that it was the last time was 1939 such a dust storm here. And I do not even have a photo of it, because as I said, I'm such a storm is not as quite as rare, but maybe. I've at least got the job and had also survived the sandstorm. Monday it starts with the Work.
With Daniel I've just phoned, he has now got a new job in Childers, a packer. He is looking at the job of first again. Otherwise, his next goal and Sydney, because the job situation looks quite good here.
So Sydney remains for now at least three months my or our new home. For apartments I have ever seen and also keep the prices from 1000 € to 2000 € per month, so do not come cheap. If anyone reads this here and happens to have a Konatktadresse for apartments in Sydney, could get in touch with us even once. As long as we are not here, we probably stay in a hostel, the problem is in the hostels, the closer one comes to New Year's Eve that prices go up here and you also for the nights between Christmas and New Year's night then charged by 150 €.
Not easy life ;-)

Makabuhay And Menstruation

from Hervey Bay to Airlie Beach to Sydney

I'm sitting in the plane to Sydney. It started the way over a week ago in Hervey Bay, as Christian and I had met a couple from our trip to Fraser Iceland. We drove the two of Hervey Bay to Airlie Beach. Have once again stayed in Bundaberg and Mackay on the trip there. Once there, we booked a tour directly to the Witsunday Iceland. The next day we are out with a yacht on the sea down and we have looked at the Whitsunday Iceland and immersed in the Great Barrier Reef. The tour was over three days and we spent three nights on the yacht. Direct flight on the first day of my cap and my sunglasses over the side I slid off the deck. But what to even it, I'm indeed a great scarf, as seen on some photos. When we got on 2 Day in the Outer Reef arrived, the area where most are just coral and fish species that we have under the water and snorkeled. I have been to a dive and it was really crazy. So many fish species and different colored corals. Highlights were two sharks that were swimming around us were, about 1.60-2.00Meter large, not just small.

Back in Airlie Beach, we have once again celebrated an evening because Dennis, the husband of the couple wanted to celebrate his birthday in pure. The three, the couple, and Christian, then go down the next day, the West Australia to work there. I stayed alone in Airlie Beach and was wondering what you can do now that Daniel is still in Childers, where it works and I wanted to look for work in Sydney. I then tried a car kaufen.Es hung out, two in our hostel. In a car I had then called me again and looked at. Ford Falcon, and YOM94 4Liter displacement and 2200Dollar to have. The purchase was actually safe, but at once lacked a certificate for the car so I can log on to my name. And that this certificate should then again cost 2000Dollar, which completed the purchase then. Although Airlie Beach is quite a party stronghold, is when you are alone there, but pretty boring. Now I was good 8 days there and it also arrived and I am happy if I can do a little work in Sydney. I was thinking now booked a flight from Brisbane to Sydney to Proserpine, because if you were traveling by Greyhound, you would just sit on 40Stunden on the bus, and it is difficult to endure. Well, I am now sitting in the airplane and I'm in Sydney tonight and see once and for Daniel and me, as the job situation there so. Daniel is still in Childers will continue and, if it looks good with jobs in Sydney, then to allow you the time in Australia, a little can argue with your partner.

That state of affairs.


Greetings from me from high above

and also on behalf of Daniel nice greeting from Childers

Peroxide And Gingivitis

The end of a mediocre season

I wanted to Frank Moritz or more times for a WE in the mountains, finally, my summer has so far failed. Frank told me from early on, she was again ill. When, even in the short term Moritz canceled, all my hope was back then. Anja was too engrossed in their books. My last hope was Martin - and he said directly.
We met Friday night in Memmingen and took detours and a stop to the most famous McDonalds Tyrol Kaunertal. We arrived late in our beds brought. Thanks Martin's warm sleeping bag (mine is that is at home) I was, apart from my nose, nice and warm.
the Saturday we left tackle convenient, the alarm rang at 7am and had breakfast only until we could get away and it was half-9th We wanted the parking Riffeltal on the bell tower. The guide and the map showed a crossing over the glacier, but we decided not to take crampons. That was the right decision. About the "new" Riffeljoch (the map is drawn differently than in the area marked) is in fact only one of rock to the summit. From the pass we made a little trip on a rocky peak - a small climbing exercise with the solid hiking boots. In addition, Martin showed me the little remaining ice rink still beat levels, because the pick we had taken. At the summit, there was brief and the sun, otherwise the weather was rather cloudy and foggy. When we returned to the car were, we cooked the first time - the hunger was great. Unfortunately it started well then to rain as we had prepared a welcoming place. So we set it in the car comfortably.
Die Aussicht am Gipfel








drove around 6 we continue to the glacier park and surveyed the wall of the Weißseespitze, which showed at last. She looked much better than I had expected. To pass the time we visited the walk-crevasse, which was nothing more than a milled through the glacier, and pick sparkled a little by the half-pipe. After it was dark, we climbed into our beds again, this time I needed but until I was warm and so was my night very short. When the alarm clock rang at 5, it was very foggy - at night it had rained in the meantime and it was starry. We decided not to sleep for another hour. At 6 the fog was gone, the wall open and we were quickly out of bed. At breakfast, we surveyed the wall - it had changed. During the night there had been much rocks, not in the wall, but this was plain and simply not looked inviting. So we decided to rise above the normal route to the summit. At 7 came yet another group (3 people) that went into the wall. We shuffled up the glacier on the Radrackspur. The ridge was again frozen thawed permafrost, which I found extremely uncomfortable to go. Every now and then the sun came through and you could see down to the parking lot. The ridge ran and when we were finally up, one saw anything. Just know - we even had to look for the summit cross, which had previously shone down on us. So we went quickly on the descent. Meanwhile, the stones were covered with snow. The further we got down, the greater our hunger and the softer the Geschmodder was among us. The Radrackspur on the glacier was now too soft and we were in deep snow fairly quickly down, directly into the glacier restaurant to steak and chips.
this I had yet again made it into the ice and that was a really nice Season final weekend.

Letter For Temporary Disconnection

From the tomato to the whales


After a week in Childers, the paths of Daniel and I disconnected the first time. Daniel wanted to stay there longer and I wanted in the next place, because I liked it no longer there. Thus, Christian and I continue to Hervey Bay and Daniel stayed there with the people we had met in Cairns. I just got on the phone with Daniel and he said that he has switched to plantation and now 17Dollar gets the hour, which is a quite good pay. Therefore, he knows not how long he will stay there. Christian and I went this week at the Fraser Iceland and there have been a jeep tour. There we have beautiful fresh water lakes and rivers, and seeing great beaches, was really a great trip. We have stayed there at a resort because it was a 2Tagestour. There were again a lot of German, but this time has really formed a small force, with the evening one is gone and gone again. On the third day, after the night back in Hervey Bay, we did a whale watching tour because at the moment Walsasion in Hervey Bay. Was also really impressive and really exciting. Now we take the bus for Christian and me to Bunderberg because two people have learned that we know on Fraser Iceland, there waiting for us, so we drive together with the high car to Airlie Beach to go to the Whitsundays. There is then finally immersed ;-) If Daniel wants to meet, we are waiting for him so he can go there with us. After that, it will then go towards Sidney, at times to stay there a long time and a steady job for a longer Time to get.
But you can make no real plan here, it is always different here than it has before, or expected.

Itchy Thrush Cream Not Helping

An attempt is no try!

Unlike Ansa I was allowed into the high mountains, because where there is quite something bissel ice. Nevertheless, was also with us this weekend announced a lot of rock.
Together with Stefan and Martin went over it again on Friday afternoon to the Valais, we wanted to go the Nadelgrat.
On Saturday morning we headed out of gas so Ried on the way to get over Mittelberg and Breithorn for Galenjoch. There we wanted to bivouac to the next day Dirruhorn, Hohberghorn and Stecknadelhorn come to the needle Horn. Unfortunately, the clouds hung still tight around the mountains, so we rose up in dense fog. In addition, it had been in the night to Saturday rather warm, so we felt like in a steam bath, relaxing it really was not! First
still on forest it was pretty soon know by progress in goats. Then we have followed the path which is relatively new to Europe (wide hiking) is gone. Finally, we left this to go directly Hen on the ridge next to GE which, although it contained a lot of loose material, but still go very well, was. On
Breithorn then the opportunity presented itself to us over the abyss to sit through the clouds are not very big challenge. But slowly the clouds down every now and again, so we could get hold of the first views of White Horn and Matterhorn. And by then the sun shone in the bivouac of us fully from the blue sky. This promised beautiful weather for the next day.
We prepared a comfortable place to sleep, as flat as possible with all the plates that lying around. And we stuffed the rest of the day with food and lots of tea full. As long as the sun beamed down upon us, it was nice warm and cozy, but that changed quickly as they slowly went down. Since we had decided not to sleeping bag during the night, the cold took from the stones up into one. As long as you really did not mind sleeping when I woke up but I f ing immediately to tremble. At two then the alarm clock rang and we could all stand up. Everything somehow took a bit longer and going until we finally arrived it was already half past three. Our camping site was located about half an hour before the Galenjoch and so we first increased from the yoke before it went along the ridge. Usually one corresponds directly with the ridge, with a few points that can be easily circumvented. Here, the ridge of solid rock in places, and go nice in large parts but rather loose and does a little bit nervous. Above all, he runs into the incredible length. Eventually the sun rose, resulting in a bit like getting a wake up was. And at just after eight, we were finally released on the Dirruhorn. What came after that but she did not great, and after a he had summit rest we penetrate into the Dirrulücke rather than loose material. Now it was really late and we could not imagine to be done yet at a reasonable time with the tour. Therefore, we decided the channel leading to the Ried glacier descending. Here poles were installed for the rappel. Nevertheless, it really was anything but great since a lot of stones came down and we were all just glad just as we rappel after three hours and beaten out in the bar were looking at last scrap from the rockfall area. This descent is really all recommended other than.
Now there was a glacier breaking to overcome on the Ried glacier, but the set as no major problems so we were soon on the path to hut. After a dainty right on the Bordierhütte juice, we headed back to the valley to finish our round. It lasted but still very much in the length and the soles of the feet were burning properly, but eventually we reached yet glad that we were all healthy again reached the bottom of the car.
A very adventurous tour, which makes one thing clear, the whole ridge must still be yet!

Hancocks Fabric Preferred Card

If no ice at least rock

After the planned summer vacation, unfortunately, did not produce the hoped-High Feeling tour, I was now starving for good. So I persuaded Andreas but already on Saturday to drive to Tannheim - the weather forecast for Saturday was for rain and sunshine Sunday after Nelbelauflösung. We hurried, however, because the weather could only get better. After all, it was not raining in Munich. South, we arrived but in ordinary rain showers and I have quietly questioned whether this really a good idea. But the further we drove west, the better was the weather. We reached dry Nesselwängle and also saw from the parking lot, the Red Flüh. Unfortunately it was drizzling then the climb is a good but yet again, for the weather were modest but still an incredible number of people on the go. At the top, and everything was wet. The desire to climb was suddenly gone. So we decided to walk to the Red Flüh rise - a little exercise would be even more beautiful and there were still a few hours for dinner. And really, as we stood on the summit, even the sun came to light. Should from now on not more of us . Soft When we were back at the hut, it was too late to break again in the climbing and so we decided to eat early evening and the sun at low temperatures a little to enjoy on the terrace.




After a long discussion we had yet decided to have breakfast at the hut. But we hurried and were already going on around 7.20. We did in the old south wall in the Red Flüh. The entry we have found very good - to the mountain, the route reveals clearly. Besides that, we had no problems with the pathfinding. In the first two pitches it was so zapfig cold that I shivered in spite of gloves, and seriously doubted whether we will ever reach the top. On the second level but came at some point the sun to light and I warmed up. It was also necessary, for now was wet: The third pitch is a fireplace that is moist and it had only rained, was really wet. We climbed in the rollover, so we had to modify anything on the stands. The sixth pitch is then quite easy - you can build a few sand clocks, then you will get more or less walking terrain in which it pulls down an incredible amount of free stuff. The only problem is actually finding the hook as in the broad field - is above all the still hidden behind a head start. The seventh pitch leads to a plateau, here you can get off and on the normal route to the summit. We chose the first time for a break and let the rope team past behind us. The 8th Cable length is listed in the Topo without an intermediate hook. And after the other rope team cursed pretty and not the state found, we decided to go on climbing to the summit. A 4 must be unsecured containing real net. Meanwhile, it was noon now and we decided to enter again in the Hüttengrat. Andreas has been in the first pitch equal run times, so he did the same two at a time before the next level hooks found. Otherwise, the route went through without any problems - you have to pay attention only abseiling on real rock fall from the top: Behind us again roped off which, when we were on the third Abseilstand: Since the stones were flown only so ....
had the meantime, we (were after breakfast passed already 11 am and other than a granola bar and a piece of chocolate we had eaten nothing) a murder, hunger, and so we hurried to get to the hut to get good before descending again to strengthen. For a wonderful weekend, went on a dream day to end.
