10.2.2010 Richmond, Melbourne

Next day plans: I’m heading to Great Ocean Road on Friday and will be in Adelaide on Sunday. I will travel with French guy called Serge. Met him today, we had a chat and I noticed I could imagine to travel with him and obviously he agreed the same with me... so, we marched to travel agency on Fed Square, rented a car and will hit the road on Friday morning early. Since the car rental was 107AUD + gas we thought to find one more person to travel with us to share the costs. After checking notice board on a popular hostel on Flinders Lane and few phone calls we found a nice Canadian girl called Emma. Had a lunch all together and everything feels good. So, it’s three of us, new car, two good drivers (Serge and Emma) and a scenic route of Great Ocean Road from Melbourne to Adelaide. Fantastic! It feels good to back on the road again.

I could have also taken one of these package trips but GOR - I think it’s bigger value with car share and some nice travel company to get everything out of it. Must beat bus companies and those ridiculously expensive prices they are asking for from poor backpackers.

Today I also met a very first Finnish person in Australia. His name is Kimmo and despite he is very busy with work and everything he was gracious enough to try to solve out my internet connection problem. Connection worked slowly for a while, and computer is a bit faster now but at home –it still doesn’t connect. He did a lot anyway, and I really appreciate it. I think I need to save all the documents and pics from my laptop and re-boot it again (which is a bit bigger thing to do). Will need help in that. Let’s see where I can do that. Yep, but points to Kimmo for very kind help. He is nice person, indeed.
