zaterdag 2 februari 2002

Al om 7 uur 's ochtend begonnen in het internetcafe om mijn site up te daten. Daar was ik wel een paar uurtjes mee zoet om de foto's vanuit mijn webcam op de pc te krijgen. Maar het is toch gelukt.


zondag 3 februari 2002

Nieuwe link toegevoegd bij Handige links. Het Aquarium in Sydney. Deze attractie heb ik vandaag bezocht met mijn 6 kamer genoten. Inmiddels zijn er 2 jongens bij gekomen.


dinsdag 5 februari 2002

Gisteren en vandaag geen foto's gemaakt omdat het zo hard regende. Wel even de carmarket gefilmd vandaag.


woensdag 6 februari 2002

Vandaag weer hele dag regen. Dus alle foto's op de site gezet kijk onder de optie " handige links" en klik op foto's deel 1 en 2. Ook kun je via de linken onder mijn pasfoto van de beginpagina naar mijn foto's komen kijken.


zondag 10 februari 2002

Vandaag mobiele telefoon gekocht. Nieuwe link gemaakt voor SMS. En foto's er opgezet. Ook het reisverslag weer geupdate.


maandag 11 februari 2002

Mijn mobiele telefoon past natuurlijk net niet in de 220 volt transformator in de auto. Hier passen alleen maar platte nederlandse stekkers in (min 25 watt apparaten bv. radio). Nu blijkt dat ze alleen maar verlopen verkopen van australische naar europese geaarde stekkers. Deze europese stekker past dus niet. En ik heb geen zin om nog eens een lader te kopen die in de aansteker past. Ik besluit te kijken bij mijn wereldstekkers. De italiaanse is ook plat, maar past niet omdat er een aarde pin tussen de 2 pinnen in zit. Dan die pin maar slopen. Even aan de geaarde europese stopcontactaansluiten en nu de transformator in pluggen. Het gekochte verloop even in het tussenliggende stopcontact doen. En ja hoor het werkt. Met 3 verlopen tussen de transformator en de australische stekker is het me toch weer geluktvoor in de mobiel in de auto. Link geplaatst van andere reisgenoot bij handige links. En weer foto's toegevoegd bij week 3.



donderdag 7 maart 2002

Bijna 2 weken gewerkt nu. Bijna lke dag om 7 uur beginnen. Soms een werkdag van 6 uur en soms van 11,5 uur. Ligt aan de plukkers.

maandag 11 maart 2002

Na 2 weken werk zit ik nu weer in Melbourne in een hostel. Na 7 uur rijden in mijn auto kwamen we aan in het regenachtige Melbourne.
