I tried to have a lie in this morning, but it seemed my whole room was up at the crack of dawn for tours, so I was woken up too. Will I ever get a lie in?
I went down to my favourite place (Internet Café) and Tanja met up with me. She said she could not get the bus or the train at all for 2 weeks to Darwin, as they were all booked up and she was thinking about coming down to Melbourne with me.
Of course I was quite excited about this, as I really enjoyed traveling with her so far, so I tried to talk her into it. After discussing my plans and the places I wanted to see, she said she would like to do this as she could get this part of Australia out of the way and just focus on doing the West Coast afterwards.
We went into a travel shop and she enquired about flights…it seemed it would only be $20 more to fly home from Melbourne. She said she would think about it and let me know. While we were in the shop my mobile went off and it was a guy called Matthias asking about the lift offer to Adelaide.
I met up with Matthias (along with Tanja) about half an hour later. He seemed very nice, from Germany and wanted to see the same things I was interested in seeing. Tanja mentioned she was also thinking about joining me but would get back to me…we decided no matter what, we would go tomorrow.
I followed my Dad’s advice and took my car down to Bridgestone to have it checked out. Since it was Saturday, they were shut, but I used my charm and begged them to check out the car. They advised me I needed two new front tyres (which I already knew, as they were really looking bald) and told me that they had tightened up something else and it should be fine to drive. I told them about the clicking, but they said they didn’t hear anything…if it continued I should have it checked out when I got to Melbourne.
The rest of my day was pretty relaxing…I just got my things ready for tomorrow. Tanja called me back, she is coming to Melbourne….YIPPEE!!
