Men hard at work

The last couple of days has been very relaxed. No particular plan to go anywhere or see anything so we spend the mornings in the hostel all glued to our laptops and tablets trying to find jobs, accommodation etc. It's a funny situation we all wake up roughly the same time and after having breakfast we just sit at the kitchen area exchanging experiences and findings. The only problem with such a way of living is that, when one person panics about finding work everybody else does the same thing.
So yesterday was all about taking it easy and going with the flow. Ramtin and I found a 24 year old french guy on Gumtree who is traveling up the east coast in his car and is looking for farm work at the same time. We will be joining him during his trip. This is very convenient for us as the cost of travel in Australia is very high and this way we only need to contribute towards fuel and we will have a vehicle to look for farm work. We met Davy at Hyde park and went for a drink in the pub, he seems like s nice guy and asked us if there are any places we'd like to stop on the way. This is perfect as we can see the east coast on our own terms accompanied by couple of other people to make the trip even more interesting.
After meeting Davy we went for a walk around China town with Ben (who is from Germany and staying at the same hostel) then came back to the hostel just in time for dinner. Ben and Ramtin then cooked a lovely Tuna pasta which was served on the roof top of the hostel. All in all a good evening and I hope to have many more of these to come in the near future.
