Roadtrip to Ayr, check-in at working hostel (sleeping in the car) and tomorrow work (maybe)

Today we woke up at Jimmy’s  (tried his motorcycle Smiley)  left to Derek’s home again for breakfast and ask him whether he possibly had an air mattress for us because we had lost ours. :/

It took us 6 hours of endless driving (once we nearly ran out of petrol, but then we saw a petrol station … CLOSED) In the end we just made it.  We arrived in Ayr and were totally exhausted.

First we tried to check in at a caravan park but it was booked out. Then we asked at a working hostel. But it was also booked out. Fortunately the host told us that there is plenty of work to get done and that  we can stay and sleep in our car for a low price. 🙂 We will have to pick mangoes ( 12 ½ hours a day) but well paid: 20 AUD per hour. 🙂 So I won’t be able to write too much in my blog for 2 or 3 weeks, because here we won’t have internet (contact only by my phone). 🙂 I will tell you later, guys,  about this forthcoming „hard“ job. But there is one thing I really want to tell you now: it is so much hotter here than in the south (32°C).
