Boring Day

November 9, 2009
Well today we went looking at cars again. Started off by taking a bus to Malubrau junction costing 3.80 per person, per direction. It was nice though, the suburb was really cool, not as much traffic, or congestion as in the city center. Most of the houses were made of brick and more of the style you would find in LA. We still haven’t hit Bondi beach, and yes I know that is very embarrassing considering it was like 32 degrees today. Any way, we found a station wagon for 5500 including full maintenance, year warranty, and road side assistance. Only 169,000 km on it, so not bad. Well on the way back to the hostel we hit the notice boards and found a posting for a van with new engine and transmission, as well as a bunch of camping gear. We walked over to have a look, but discovered that it only had a 2nd hand gear box and engine. After a little discussion we decided it wasn’t worth the risk, we don’t know the millage on either of them, though Chris didn’t seem all too concerned about that. On the way back we stopped by Central YHA in Sydney for supper and saw on the notice board a brand new posting for a 1992 4WD with 200,000 km for only 4500. We will look at that tomorrow, and if we don’t like it, we will buy the station wagon tomorrow afternoon. We went to a bar called Scuba tonight, it was packed, so much that I have a strange feeling that we were majorly over fire code. We left after a drink each, to loud, and to chaotic. Well, this is it for today, still working on trying to fix my blog, will talk later.
