A New Start - Again
No, I haven't written for a while...
In fact, I haven't driven for a while, either. Drastic changes happened at the company we used to work for. Our boss took away the car, and most of the work too. What remained wasn't enough to earn us enough. So we had to look for other options.
We were incredibly lucky to find a company near who would employ us for dual driving! We are supposed to get a larger car later on, but at the moment we are being tested on smaller vans and trucks. We already completed one errand to Germany, and experiences are good so far.
Just a little taste of it.
We left on friday in a van that has TWO beds! We haven't seen anything like that. Looks like an ordinary van from te outside, you couldn't tell it's used for long-distance hauling! I won't say it's the Hilton, but far better than sleeping on the seats or on the floor.
We had to spend the weekend in Germany. We were lucky to have a sunny Saturday, and took a stroll in the town centre where we were stationed. We stumbled upon the town market, where they were giving away flowers for ladies - to celebrate the coming International Women's Day. I also got a yellow rose, which was an anexpected surprise. We made a vase of a plastic bottle, and the rose came home with us :) On top of that, they were also giving away fresh coffee and donoughts, so we had a very nice breakfast.
We spent the rest of the day reading, and making friends with other truck drivers in the parking lot.
I guess, this was a nice change after being stranded for so long :)
