Menus' and Mountains

The menu of this week exits of: L&P soda or blueberry Fanta. Hokey pokey chocolate. Penne with garlic, salt, pepper and olive oil. Lasagna saved from the rubbish. Potato salad, also saved. Cornflakes and milk or toast with chocolate spread for breakfast. Mint chocolate chip ice cream for dessert, but a piece of chocolate (saved from the rubbish) is also available. Make a choice!

It were some nice days in the Park Hotel, especially yesterday and today: Two days off for Cinderella. Monday Lauren and I moved into our new room. The old room of Casey and Steph, the reason: Because this one is bigger (see photos). Tuesday I had a 6am shift, so I woke up at 5 and started to vacuum the dining room at 6. Sweeping and mobbing I felt like a real Cinderella again. But I didn't sing like her, I want to save my voice. For what? For shouting at Lauren, I guess ;-)

They didn't had enough people on Wednesday so Lauren had to run the restaurant all by herself. There was a school group, so very busy. I felt sorry for her, because her day started at 6am. That afternoon the manager knocked on our door and asked if I could work in the kitchen. Just washing some dishes. So that's what I did. Of course, for a few more hours I do a lot :-P
Late that evening we received some sad news. Remember that crossing Lauren and I did a few weeks ago? Last Wednesday a man died during the crossing. He was staying at the hotel with his wife, daughter and son-in-law. I felt so bad for this family and I wish them a lot of strength. I can't imagine the feeling. You don't expect this when you go on holiday to NZ. There are a lot of people who died in the mountains, knowing that gives me a weird feeling. The crossing was beautiful, hard and long, but knowing there are people who actually died there...... It's very sad.

Yesterday and today I had a day off, tomorrow another 6am shift. Oh and today we had a fire drill, always great!
