Icing For Pain In Varicose Vein

The second week on the farm

The weekend has started the second week of work is now behind us. Our activities are indeed quite monotonous, but time flies faster than expected. What we do exactly? We are both harvesters on one of the many Australian farms.
Matthi each morning armed with a Umschnalltasche in which the picked fruit is temporarily stored. The picking of fruit, as already mentioned last week, apples and pears. Matthi plucked bare bottom row at Pure around, take care of two other employees as lift the crowns of the trees. The fruit in its Umschnalltasche migrate in huge boxes, we estimate about 750 kilograms. Matthi per day of which should provide at least three, which seemed quite impossible at the beginning. Meanwhile he plucks loose four and our boss can thus smile again. This brings the crates by tractor in the rather large warehouse, where I am slowly coming into play. First, however, the fruit and bathed by a filter or two people, the good into the pot and so on. Then they move on an extremely long production line, where they can get next to polish even stickers.
Next, slide the apples then sorted by size into different containers. There, three other employees to pack it in black boxes. There, my task is then to lift our packs into larger boxes that seal the whole thing yet, then click on different pack stack. Incidentally, I must also stamp and still keep two other assembly lines in mind. Both jobs are as I said, quite simple and based on a purely physical level, this was already aware of us, however, in Germany and a good salary makes the betting again anyway. Speaking of pay, Big Bucks so you'll get a check, what comes to meet us fairly and simplifies things. We just do not play the same problems as in Griffith, where we are still waiting for our money.
work we have to clock at 7:30 (which implies a rising of 6:20) and can usually go on time clock 15:30 us home. If we have to work longer, though, you get paid, unlike the lunch break, so anything from Germany as usual. The rest is irrelevant since we want to spend a maximum of five weeks here.
Since we have now incorporated all right, but is often asked whether we would stay longer, but we still have the West Coast, the Northern tip and the center of the continent ahead of us.
Our travel plans accordingly sees something like this:
work from February to early to mid-March show, and then travel for another two months through the country. The last few weeks in Sydney, we take time to sell off the car at a reasonable price and to possibly to work again. We then devote the last month of Thailand, in all its diversity and it is also already back into, hopefully warm Germany. When analyzing the remaining time so it does not even have much, but the bottom line still remain countless days of new experiences and Enddeckungen.
As for example, that is made of withered, disgusting smelly fruit or juice, or the fruit must be sorted out with millimeter scratches, because they no longer fit today's society.
After the stresses of work or to recover these dismal findings, how, we can still be found in our bush hostel. By a nice fellow farmers (* grin *) we're now also only 15 km to work (instead of 25), which saves fuel properly. To ensure that our property has turned out to be absolutely fantastic and watching the countless kangaroos is great. As we have told many people that they are the last pictures were absolutely fantastic, it is this week once again jumping supplies and look forward to the videos;)
's objective is to make be it for this week and have been already, let's see what the next brings. Adios.
