Another morning spent trying to get ourselves all settled. Tom now has a phone! I can't get international calls but he can. I'll try to remember to post his phone number on our "contacts" page. By the way, if anyone wants to Skype - just let me know! That is the cheapest (free!) way of communicating. We just Skyped with my parents for the first time since we've gotten here! Great fun!
We also went to look at cars. We stopped at NRMA which is an organization that offers services like inspecting used cars before you buy. They confirmed that the types of cars we are looking at are good ones. We even went to look at a car today. Some people have suggested looking at used car dealerships, and others have told us to avoid them. So.. we are just going to look at both and see what we find. Today we went to a place that had a Toyota Kruger which is a vehicle that we are interested in getting because it has fold-down seating in the boot (trunk) so that we can seat guests that come visit (7 people total), but also store our stuff in the back for when we are exploring on our own. We weren't sold on the vehicle we looked at but have made an inquiry to a private seller about his vehicle. Hopefully he will get back to us and we can go check it out tomorrrow. After the car exploration we.... headed to the beach again! In addition to the cars, today was also a day of rediculously cool bugs. They just happened to both be on the sidewalks we were walking on! Rhinocerous Beetle and a Praying Mantis! See pictures below. (by the way... the Rhinocerous Beetle was dead and the Praying Mantis was alive.)
