As campgrounds are
seldom in the city and camping anywhere isn’t strictly prohibited, I chose to
stay overnight beside the way up to the scenic lookout at mount coot-tha. So
far everythings normal there. Normal "wild camping" conditions, but the normality
changed in the early morning. At about 5am I noticed some squeaking from the
street and when I glimpsed out of the window, I noticed some cyclists struggle
up the hill. Ok, fine, some sport freaks doing their early morning training.
But from then on nearly every 2-3 minutes i noticed more and more cyclists
driving up there. Whats going on here? So when the sun came up, I knew why they
were driving up there that early morning. As soon the sun comes up, its like
needles are poking you everywhere.
This morning I had some
hard times. I literally run out of money. No money in the pocket. No problem,
just go to the atm and get some or pay with visa card. Easy isn’t it? But what
if the money is on the bank account to which the atm or the credit card doesn’t
have access to? Bad situation! But in todays time, you just can go online and
transfer the funds online to the right account. Problem solved? No. As I didn’t
have any pre-paid amount anymore on my phone I didn’t have any internet. Well,
for that problem we have McDonalds where internet is free and always available!
Yes we do! But… like in a movie, I found the probably only McDonalds all over
Australia, where these days they have problem with the internet and therefore
not available.
So my solution was
“ask-somebody-who-has-a-mobilephone,-if-I-can-use-the-net-for-5-minutes-to-access-my-internet-banking”!
After hours I finally got again some money in my pocket!
Tomorrow ill drive to
the gold coast, where Yvonne my cousine lives! And my plans for the next few days are
doing my homework for the Solomon islands trip, which already starts next
Wednesday.
