three weeks of hard work behind us and two more still on the cards. The money adds up and we expect at the moment even mail from home, there is no better alternative than to shorten the time of waiting at the villains. Time seems to run anyway, but only because it is for us shortly after nine in the bed. Similarly, because the summer tends to slow its end, which has an less in temperatures, but much shorter in the days shows marked.
The work has not changed much, Matthies is now even responsible for the packaging, but otherwise you already know the rest of the details. Why should this week be devoted extensively to a friend, who until now at least, was scorned in the travel reports something, a yellow friend.
patches, native name O'Houlahan, patches of the first, was the largest investment in the Far Down Under on our part. He is from the home Tojota, you know already. He got his first owner in June 1981, should the busy reader of you also already brought in experience have. But what else do you know about our yellow bedroom, living room and dining room? And what we actually know about him?
Our records date back to early 2003, he has pushed before, we too can not say exactly. Most likely, the sinful youth life, relationships with too much leaded gasoline and ever-changing. This property, however, he has kept to this day, because we are the fifth owners of the last four years.
Each of these people has also inserted a certain amount in his welfare, and most often his (petrol) pump broke and he had too much oil. That we have now, hopefully finally fixed, so that his medical records not to be even bigger. Otherwise, the research showed us that our speedometer is probably fake, because patches in 2003 was driven more miles than he is now able to show. This, however, seems to walk and add to Backpacker cars to be, finally, we have seen enough already met our shock, with similar stories. Furthermore, we learned that it is in the moment yourself at home would have to, because only our owner transported over him from Western Australia to Queensland, where we perceived his troubled look the first time. This backpacking
years, also left its mark. The sliding door is moving ponderously, the water tank rust, wiper are decoration and the trunk lid leads her own life. But his charm, this leaves a defect close to the heart. Those of you who already has the feel of a Buslenkrads, the joys of a manual gearbox or the Hupgeräusch a nightingale (admittedly a very strange nightingale). But the road into the new millennium, is also of patches did not escape, so we have car radio (with CD and MP3 capabilities), an air conditioning system with more than five switches and tinted car windows.
Let claret from the living room of our friend, there stands an instantly perfect the color, from bright yellow and mild in the eye. Adapted floor, glued by laminate (fake), the Couleur is reminiscent of hazelnut. The curtains fit with their blue-gray shades do better in the assisted living, but that contribute to the water lilies, extremely soften.
The illumination comes from three intrusive neon lights and the light of the computer screen. A lamp we had to replace already, while the other, only now and then, find the contact to the power supply. Anyway, in the dark and nobody sees the stained ceiling.
But it's not all bad, the cozy bed provides space for three and then there are also the two seats, although not comfortable, but have about the same lovely reference. That is, however, to describe really hard, it looks a bit like denim, fit the design most likely to East Germany of the seventies and is otherwise mainly scratchy. Below this lies Plunder foam, which is also found in stuffed animals sitting, but better than some leather sofa with "ergonomic" design. If the whole is then converted into a bed (which we create now in under two minutes), anyway, everything seems different. Then all the curtains are closed, the moonlight touches our skylight and ... um, this is now over wrong! Anyway, we sleep (together) in our 1, 80x1, 40m, absolutely fantastic.
legroom granted the center (where else Fip priority was found), and three pillows of various sizes allow one the height of his sleep choice. However, the time also gnawed at this design and so become the jack is used as a substitute prop, you're not seeing everything in our car will be practically used.
What's missing is the kitchen area. pump equipped with a sink for ourselves, we have hot and cold water, depending on outside temperature * grin *. The two gas-fired hot plates including barbecue heat, to cook our rare pleasures. Of plates and all the stuff we lack is not, but there definitely is brand new out of place. The cutlery basket, I would also hardly my children to the wedding To pay but is happy about something like that is likely anyway. The refrigerator now submissive met our needs and makes the evening beer-flavored.
All in all, patches exactly what we were looking for a black hole on four wheels, which swallows up all our money. No, it definitely is not, he is a loyal companion and an ideal place for rest as probably the best year of our life so far. Without him, it would not be even half as magnificent as it is now time and we'll cronies yellow in a few months, can probably only give up with bleeding heart again.
On the next 15,000 km!
