Oded and I landed in Sydney early on a Saturday morning, fifteen minutes apart on separate flights. We caught a free ride to our hostel in Kings Cross and quickly settled into a few hours of sleep to regulate the jet lag. By noon, we were in and out of car stores, collecting information on buying and renting vans to take us around Australia. Because we are here for OZ's summer and holiday season, all the prices are jacked up beyond what we could have imagined. We emailed, called, looked into relocations, and finally settled on a Wicked camper van, complete with a "kitchen" (pump sink, gas burner, pots, pans, plates, bowls, utensils), chairs, table, and a large area that serves as benches by day and a bed by night. The van itself is automatic and has air con--I am not sure I would survive without either.
The outside of the van is covered in a graffiti version of Astro Boy, a cartoon or character that I am not familiar with. The back of the van proudly states, "We are going into outer space. Next stop..." Please insert the appropriate planet. Here's a hint: It's not Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Saturn, Neptune or Pluto. Classy. This is how I roll...
