2000 Toyota HiAce! :D

Well, it seems that the days here are very repetitive and very boring to share every detail with the rest of the world.  So that is why there is a lack of blogs.  We have pretty much finished harvesting olives, but have taken a break from them for now.  So it's back to pruning and doing other random things like before Christmas...

In exciting news though, Darryl has been helping David and I find a vehicle to travel up North in.  He has been looking up different websites and bringing the new found vehicles to us each day.  He drove us around Joondalup the other day showing us all the used car lots as well as test driving an ex-freezer truck.  He even tracked a few vans on E-bay for us.  He is a car-a-holic.  As Donna put so well, most people have an obsession with buying clothes, Darryl has an obsession with buying cars.  ANYWAYS, yesterday he called me very excited because he had just test drove a van and thought it would be perfect for David and I.  He asked about the price range and then told me how amazing it was.  It was so cute to hear him so excited about it. The fact that Darryl went out of his way to go to a used car lot (while he was in the city for the day) and look around for us is awesome just in itself.  David's boss, Geoff, has offered to take him on Friday afternoon to the city to go and pick up the van.  Darryl, Geoff (and his wife, Lisa) have all already brainstormed what they would think would be amazing to do to the van.  I might add that in Darryl's younger days he bought a van and fixed it all up for him to go travelling around Australia AND Geoff and Lisa live in a massive van that they have kitted out to travel in.  They are originally from Tasmania and have made it this far in the travels and have been here for a few years.  As you can tell I am really excited about it.  We will get photos up as soon as we can.

tata.
