Lieke’s travels 2022-2023

September 13th: Cooking literally and figuratively 😅 Today I started at 7 AM again as usually and I opened together with Mariela. I finally made quiche today for the workers who stay here quite often and get lunch from us. I made a very big one and some smaller once. I really hope they’ll like it tomorrow for lunch!

That was so nice that I met her! She’s from England! We were so tired we just grabbed our keys out of the locker and ate something and then we went to sleep… August 15th: Longest bus ride ever…🥲 Today I had to take the bus to Tennant Creek at 6:00 AM.
