06.07.2013 – Bitches be diggin'!

It's a new dawn, it's a new day and there's more digging for us ladies at the Danube Gorges. We have a very steep hill to climb and today I'm carrying a killer cable up hill (it was around 10 m long and I kept stepping over it). But I don't complain, it's a good exercise for my curves. It's gonna be a whole day of working: digging, going through dirt and carrying buckets. Here and there you get the odd context sheet to fill. By 1 o'clock I figure we all wonder when lunch is gonna happen. Aruna and Jess made sandwiches for us today. And let me tell you there is nothing (apart from meat of course) I wouldn't eat when I'm hungry and working. Today we are digging through Iron and Late Copper Age layers. How I long for earlier prehistory! But we dig in a cave, with light hanging over our heads and the nearest town some 20 km away. It's safe to say that whatever happens at this point, we are all having fun. Jenny the Generator gave up on us around 1. And while we were waiting for the young strapping male presence in our group to go and get more fuel we have lunch and climb to the top of the hill, right over the cave. The view is breathtaking, the sun takes away your breath too. After a very busy afternoon we head down around 5 (with some serious convincing though, because the big boss did want to continue). And this is pretty much when the best bit of the day began (even I don't know if I'm being sarcastic). As soon as we stepped out of the cave the rain started and on the whole way down it was pouring so damn hard I couldn't help but feeling like an action hero in the jungle again. We arrived at the cars soaked and slightly bruised (very bruised in my case). Dinner was better than ever - mostly because we were so tired anything would taste good (apart from meat- it's such a drаg to be a vegetarian at a dig!). Tomorrow is gonna be our first day off and dinner ended in a somewhat Uncomfortable discussion about our guy-preferences with the big boss. Let me tell you one thing- he sure does like a good bit of gossip and teasing! But then again, who doesn't. We keep living the good life so it's into beds early for us again. Who knows where I would be without Vicky and Kate and the wonderful giggling before sleep.
