Journal Entry:
Spent the morning at the car market again - no one even seems interested in my car (or anyone elses for that matter - there just aren't many people looking). I went to the doctor to have my yellow card checked to see if I needed any immunization boosters. It turned out that it was mostly a waste of time as the doctor really didn't know what I needed anyway. I did get another prescription of Stemetil (for diving), and I filled out a form that was faxed to a travel immunization center so I'll check back tomorrow to see if I need anything.

Spent the rest of the afternoon at the car market. I had one person express a little interest, but he never came back. I left after dark feeling pretty dejected - I think there is a good chance I'm going to have to sell the car to a dealer at the last minute for almost nothing. I went up to Oxford street, had dinner, made some phone calls trying to get my final travel plans coordinated, then checked email. Took the good bottle of port I'd bought in the Barossa valley (outside Adelaide) over to Sof and Chris' and sat with them for a couple hours.
