It is still rainy here, off and on. We are actually enjoying it because it keeps it a bit cooler at night :)
Mine and Jenni's RaInY DaY pictures
Jenni and I have been on the hunt for a new place to live for the last week or so. We were forewarned that James was looking for a more permanent housemate and now he's found one. We are searching through Gumtree.com which is a website that is more backpacker/short term renter friendly. We lined up two houses for viewing today.
This afternoon we visited the first house at 1A Bennett St. A nice looking Irishman, Dave, age 30, owns the house and is renting out his extra bedroom. He is an Electrical Engineer for the tram system and has lived here for 8 years. He has a very clean, modern, and spacious house only a 15 minute walk from work. The room we would be living in has HEAPS of closet space and a big comfy bed! This is a good thing since, even though we are backpacking, we manage to fill an entire closet and set of drawers.....thanks to Lauren's good packing skills ;) He was very welcoming and we assume he would be a good time since he IS Irish!
This evening Jenni checked out the second house at 18 Mary Street. I had to work at 4 p.m. today so it was all up to J-Pow to give it a look. She says it was a very nice, newly renovated house, where we would live with 2 other girls, age upper 20's. It is only a 3 minute walk to work (good, but not good for the bum!) The room we would live in has nice wooden floors, BUT only 2 twin frameless mattress could be supplied.
We have a decision to make because both have offered us the rooms. It's time for us to list our pros and cons and hopefully choose the right one. We will make a decision by tomorrow and move into our new place on Sunday :)
