Chabos wissen wer der Babo ist

Driving through the beautiful Tablelands. Stereo is playing Anthrax from the good old days. Antisocial. Ich so zur Reisebegleitung: "Kann man sich kaum vorstellen, dass sowas damals als hart und schnell galt." Sie so: "Fußball war ja auch langsamer in den 80ern als heute." point taken. Gibt es da einen Zusammenhang?

Kuranda must be one of the ugliest places in the world. I mean the village and its concept, not the surroundings. I desperately want to pump Haftbefehl at maximum volume whilst cruising the through town, but the stereo ain't working. Fuck me, that never happened to 2Pac and Biggie I bet.

But I messed up the chronological order. Must be the climate. 😁 We spent a whole day on the other side on the Daintree the river. Beautiful ancient rainforest, very little in terms of civilization. We stayed at the daintree rainforest retreat, a nice motel with very friendly staff. Good onion. We started early and were well ahead of the crowds. This must get pretty ugly later in the day or during high season, but we were pretty much alone. We tried out both ice cream places and, alas, don't believe the hype. The floraville ice cream is OK, but not great. Too sweet for our taste. The daintree ice cream company rated a little better, but they only sell their ice cream in larger portions, so we could both sample only one flavour. Good stuff, but expensive. None of them come even close to vanille und marille in Berlin though.

The daintree itself is magnificent and also makes you appreciate the invention of deet. 😁 lovely lovely lovely. I wouldn't stay longer than one day though. We left for Atherton and the Tablelands next.

Aber nochmal ganz weit zurück in der Zeit. Was hat das alles mit der Überschrift zu tun? Bis hierher nichts. Aber ich würde so gerne in Dingo (heißt wirklich so, das Kaff) vorbeifahren und den wannabe Cowboys mal aufs Maul geben. Was sind die mir vor 15 Jahren auf den Sack gegangen. Würde die echt gerne nochmal treffen. 💪 oder generell mal in einem schönen outback Pub einen Cowboy angraben. 😋

Egal, die Sonne scheint und nothing else matters.

Effiziensteigerungen galore

In einem der Tagesspiegelberichte zum S-Bahn Spaß in Berlin findet sich folgender Kommentar des Users "rb", der es aber auch sowas von genau trifft, dass ich ihn einfach mal zitieren muss, ohne weitere eigene Worte: Wahrscheinlich ist da irgendwann mal eine Abordnung dynamischer Schlipsträger durch die Werkstatt gelaufen, wie "Spürhunde" unterwegs nach Einsparpotential. Einer der Büromenschen sieht die ausgewechselten Radsätze rumstehen, geht hin, klopft mit dem Finger dagegen und meint: "was, die wollen Sie schon verschrotten? Aber die sind doch noch gut! Bauen Sie die ruhig mal wieder drauf! Und hören Sie mir bloss mit diesem Technik-Blabla auf, das kann wirklich keiner mehr hören." Diese zündende Idee fand sich dann später in einer Excel-Tabelle namens "Umsetzung_Sparvorgabe_DB_Boersengang.xls" wieder (zusammen mit der ebenso phänomenalen Idee der Werkstattschliessungen), der geniale Radklopfer bekam eine Gehaltserhöhung und

Beauty is not always in the eye of the beholder

 Especially since us nerds all know how dangerous Beholders can be. ;-) Ugly business, that. Some nice things: We watched "Magnus" this weekend and I was positively impressed! Trashy, in a good anarchic way. Give it a try, but it's probably not for kids. ;-) Very funny, though.  https://youtu.be/IdrP8hjXR5k Then. Also. We. Had. A. Few. Days. Of. Real. Snow. In Berlin. Last week. Who would have thought that I'd see this again before I die? Very happy. I liked last week's weather much better than this week's ... . The good thing about snow is: It looks pretty, feels good, and Wooster goes craaaaaazy. Schnappi, too, of course. It's the only snow crocodile in the world. And the most dangerous one in the Northern hemisphere.

Gandalf the Pedophile

Driving down south to Kerikeri was beautiful: we took the time to take the scenic coastal route, visiting gazillions of beautiful beaches and inlets. Bliss and joy. KK itself is very nice of course as well, real fruit icecream, need I say more. On a rainy Saturday afternoon we went to Ngawha hot springs, which rocks totally. Basic, ramshackle pools, or rather woodclad holes in the ground with different temperatures between very hot and scorching, after one hour you have a baby's skin again. Amazing. We stayed at the very nice and highly recommendable Kerikeri Farmhostel and the reisebegleitung greatly enjoyed the Kunekune pigs they keep. Before Xmas crazyness took over the whole place we left for Whangarei Heads and that's where the old pedowizard comes in. But more of that tomorrow, I have to and eat one of the best breakfasts of all times now. Just remember: always stay with your arse to the wall when meeting old man with grey beards and pointy hats.
