Stoned on easter sunday
I arrive at 'Tyres for bikes' near Noosa Heads and have to sadly figure out that the guys are on tour, so I leave a text message and I am just about to leave when Rob's wife shows up at the gate and asks 'What's up?'. I explain myself quickly: "...just looking for a tyre.", "...met some Germans on my way.", "...but ... can wait till after easter". She is so keen to offer me a camp site on her farm, that I can't and won't refuse the offer since camp site prices go up to 85 Dollars a night during easter. She asks her two kids to come out and brings me to the farm with a shed I could use. This is weird. I am careful, checking my inner alarm system which rings all the bells to better leave. They gonna chop you up into pieces and sell your remains as fish bait tomorrow morning, I think. A special kind of cigarette appears and eases my concerns up high .... Fuck it! I might be lucky and finally get eaten by a great white. I set up my mozzy net and chillax. We are having wine and a bonfire with the kids and everything seems to be just fine. Sweet...
Stille Post (this rumor that emerges when a story is told multiple times by different people)
Anja gets it pretty bad. She gets to know that some bloke stays in her shed since friday, saying he was one of the best mates of a German couple that's on tour with her. The support truck catches fire and she is on her way home: She is just so loaded with four letter words that she wants to scream into the guys face that is waiting for her in her shed. Some stingy bastard just taking advantage of Rob's wife and making her home his'. May god be with him!!!! She is exhausted arrives at 2 am at her shed and has to look at ugly "Knicker Hermy". The next morning is still a bit weird since I feel uncomfortable but Anja is kinda cool and lets me leave my stuff while I check out the national park. Later the same day we are having beers and tell each other both sides of the story and just can't stop laughing. This was one of the toughest ways in my life to get to know someone. At the end, we could come up with jokes about 'making sure that I take her laptop and her money which is under her pillow before I leave'... damn that morning was just sooooo uncomfortable, but turned out so great.
