日子終於平靜下來，算是捱過了當初最徬徨的時刻，但平靜的日子又可以有多久？| After the tough beginning in Iceland, we were kind of settled down and our days were finally getting peaceful and quiet. But for how long?
住
終於收到營地的電郵，我們可以搬去打工換宿，不用睡廁所了。
最後花了全副身家100歐元，買了一個不防風不防水的二手帳篷便搬了過去。雖然只得一個睡袋，晚上睡覺時還是很冷，但總算解決了住宿的問題。
工作
另外，還收到一間酒店和一間旅館約我去見工的電郵。見工過程順利，旅館叫我去試工，而酒店就說會再聯絡我。
旅館的工作都是做 Housekeeping，當然沒難度，試工亦順利過關。老闆說他們暫時只需要兼職，要等七月才有全職的空缺給我。
不過怎樣都好，總算我也找到工了。
一星期在旅館工作兩三天，加上每天在營地工作，日子終於平靜下來，算是捱過了當初最徬徨的時刻，雖然卻又說不出的沉悶。
在六月的最後一星期，突然又收到先前見工的酒店的電郵，叫我星期六去試工，但今次的工作就不是 Housekeeping，而是做酒店自助早餐部。
由於不太喜歡旅館的工作，所以雖然老闆已經給了我七月的全職合約，但我還是想試試酒店的工作。
酒店的工作基本上就是在廚房幫點忙，然後就是等人客吃完後清潔枱面，和早餐時間完結後的總清潔。工作一點都不輕鬆，拿一大盤碟子也很重，還要清晨五點便要起床上班，但不知為啥，我卻喜歡這裡。可能是因為這裡的人比較輕鬆，有講有笑的，不像旅館那邊的人總是有點苦口苦面。
幾經考慮後，我選擇放棄旅館的全職合約和作為員工福利的全部免費 tours，七月轉往酒店工作。
七月又是另一個新開始。
另一場過山車的開始。

Living
We finally got the email from the campsite and we could move there for volunteering. No need to sleep in toilet again.
The cheapest tent we found was around 100 Euros, exactly what we had left now. Luckily we had a free sleeping bag to sleep with. Though it’s still quite cold at night, we didn’t need to worry about where to sleep anymore.
Working
I also got two job interviews from a hostel and a hotel. I had a trial shift on housekeeping for the hostel while the hotel manager said she would contact me later.
After the trial shift, the boss said they needed part time only for now but they would give me full time job in July. Never mind, I’d also got a job eventually.
I worked 2-3 days in the hostel and 3 hours everyday in the campsite, while Jan worked busily in the restaurant. After the tough beginning in Iceland, we were kind of settled down and our days were finally getting peaceful and quiet, although also a bit too dull.
In the last week of June, I got an email from the hotel asking me to go on a trial shift. But this time, it wasn’t working in the housekeeping but in the buffet breakfast section.
To be honest, I didn’t like the housekeeping job in the hostel very much. Although my boss already gave me the full time contract for July, I still wanted to give it a try in the Hotel.
My job was to help a bit in the kitchen but mainly was to clean tables and clean everything after the breakfast closed. It was simple but it’s heavier and busier, and the worst was I had to get up at 5am. Nevertheless, I enjoyed working in the hotel more, probably because the people there were more cheerful and relaxing. And most important, I wouldn’t be working alone anymore.
After serious consideration, I decided to give up my full time contract and all the free excursions (part of the staff benefit) I can get from the hostel and changed to work in the hotel in July.
July would be another beginning.
Another beginning of ups and downs in this country.
