Sunday, 17 July

The day had come. It was time to leave the Woolstore apartment and go to our student accommodation. But before we left, Jenny and Grahame had prepared a wonderful brunch consisting of scrambled eggs, ham, bread, and tomatoes, with orange juice, tea, and coffee to quench our thirsts.

Jenny and Grahame drove us to our new accommodation where we met Mecca, who gave us our keys. We went to our room with packing and all. We had a heartfelt farewell with Jenny and Grahame, although we’ll meet soon again. But they have simply been great! Finding people as nice as them is hard.

We started unpacking a bit but stopped to fill out the condition report we got from Mecca. A while later it was filled out and done, and we decided to walk to Woolworths (a nearby grocery store but their stores are common in Australia). We bought both food and things for the room. It proved good to have cash as both our debit cards were declined, which we will have to look into.

We had some ready-made soup for dinner. We’ll have to get used to the kitchen, though. It’s in an overall okay condition. It has a sandwich grill, which is nice.

Now it’s 10 pm, and we have had tea, Tim Tams and skyped with our parents. The blog is pretty much up to date and tomorrow we’ll have our first Uni experiences. We’ll bike to Uni on the bikes we borrowed from Jenny and Grahame, and then we’ll go to Port Stephens for some activities. But more about this then.
