Wooohooo we bought a car! That’s right, Tony and I had an exciting adventure to Sydney this week where we purchased a small car (ford telstar hatchback). We left Jenolan Caves on Tuesday and took the bus to Katoomba, then the train to Sydney to meet up with Erin. Turns out that Wayne (our cool South Korean roommate) had the same days off, so we travelled down with him. Once we got to Sydney (at 7pm) Erin took us to this fabulous Italian restaurant called Montrelli (I believe). OH wow, FABULOUS food and a great time chilling. For those who don’t know, Erin and I worked together at the Delta Prince Edward in Charlottetown, P.E.I. this past summer. She is an Aussie, and let us stay at her place in Sydney. So the next day Erin dropped us off at the Parramatta Rd where all the car dealerships are and we walked up and down til we found the one we wanted! Then meet Erin at her work and hit up a Chinese restaurant for dinner! It was great, just a small, locals only place, near her house and the food was fabulous! It’s different to see that lamb is soo cheap here, we are getting spoiled a bit by that and plan on eating as much as we can while we are here!
Now for driving on the wrong side of the road…it’s not as bad as I thought. Firstly, I have yet to hit anything, or anyone. Secondly, it was soo smooth driving back to the caves that Tony feel asleep in the car. (then again he can always fall asleep in the car, even if we are only going 10 mins down the road!) The real challenge is not that it’s on the other side of the road for turning and everything, but rather that the signals and the wipers are on the opposite sides! So every time I go to signal I put on the wipers, and not only that when I do hit the right wipers, it’s opposite direction to get them on! Hahaha it’s at least entertaining to watch and has been raining here to get away with it! Hahaha Good thing that Eric and Kim’s dog Donan is not here, he goes wild whenever you put the wipers on! hahaha
