A hangover from last night clouds my morning but gives the opportunity to do some washing, chat with some Halifax locals over a long breakfast and Skype with a friend in Perth. At 1 I meet up with my new German friends (michael and Manuel) and give their car the once over. It's rusted to hell. One of the rear springs has rusted and cracked in half, both rear running boards have disintegrated, part of the rear subframe is not connected, and the front right sway bar mount has disappeared. I leave my disenchanted friends to return the car as I've got the call that my bike is ready. I head cross town to pick her up. Back at the hostel I meet up with Michael. He's upset that the car was such a bomb and that he was ready to buy it. We both haven't eaten lunch so I grab a pizza and some beers and try to cheer him up a bit. A few drinks later and half the hostel has joined us in the courtyard. I go to us the bathroom and check my phone. Jess is online and we end up skyping for a hour.
