I forgot to mention the bad luck we had so far.

Sure,Itold you about the flu but the were more things:

My hotel room is icy cold. Even though I can't meassure it I guess it is approx. 10° C. The floors are cold tiles and I think the wall are all a bit wet. (This might have hepled me to get the flu!)
I only have 2 thin sheets and during the night I constantly loose one or even two... When I was sick I always felt cold, so what I did was, that I took my computer's power supply in my bed. It always gets very hot so I wanted to heat up my bed for a few minutes...unfortunately I fell asleep (must be because of the fever...) ad when I woke up the computer was off and my bed cold. The power supply had burned through!!! So since that evening I have no computer anymore...very bad for me! Difficult to work and no entertainment anymore.....*buuuuuhhh**

On our first day to work again, we had a car accident. The road to the mine is under construction and looks like a muddy dirt road at the moment. When we drove there a car was in front of us. The driver decided to stop at the right side of the road but when we were almost next to him he suddenly started an u-turn... We smashed right into the side of his car. Fortunately nobody was seriously injured, but it took a lot of time to sort out everything and we all had a bit of a shock...

and I will not bore you with the stories from work. It was bad as well but now it looks like we are winning!

...keep on swimming...
