Success, we have found accommodation choosing the cheapest and most normal option, again in our quest we meet some pretty 'interesting people' One of the options a penthouse apartment in a good location - read well in the paper, on the phone Chris the owner was super nice, went to check it out with Els. The apartment building had intense security lock down which seemed a bit extreme for Darwin. The room was large and comfortable, however alarms went off in the lounge room - complete with snake pit, samurai swords and massage table - which Ellie enquired about - part time profession or hobby? only to receive a knowing look btwn Chris and his g/f who laughed NB: Chris trains defence dogs for a living. He took us up to the rooftop section, I noticed a sign saying 'clothing optional past this point' - at the time I thought it was "comical". Viewed the rest of the place and left via the lift- and ran into Chris's current tenant who was in the process of moving out. She asked "Did Chris tell you he is a nudist".. pause ahhh no he failed to mention that, to which she replied "Yeah he walks around stakers most of the time, you're lucky if you get a g-string, he's been having trouble finding a flatmate must have stopped divulging his lifestyle"
The next house, opened a door to a 45+ year old man CJ - sounded young on the phone. Poor CJ living alone and flatting at that age. Was really friendly- a little too friendly he was supposed to be cleaning a friends boat however managed to engage us in a long and never ending convo - I thought I talked alot, I think in the space of 20mins we heard about every minuet detail down to how he marks his liquor bottles due to a cleaning maid with a taste for fine scotch. We tried to end the convo several times none of which were successful- finally managed to extract ourselves after he noticed my sunburn and started saying I just had to get some oil and I would tan up good.. righht
Settled on a very nice apartment in the end the other tenants are super chilled and normal both do shift work - one a night so will probs have the place to ourselves most of the time.. the other fishes catching lots of barra and tuna.. nice and promised to take us out on his boat... very good result really
