Desperate Dutchies

On the way back to Perth we stop in Geraldton, the biggest “city” on the road to Perth, we reckon that it’s our best bet to see the semi-final against Paraguay. Once we get there we go to all the hotels and bars to ask if they are showing the game (mind you over here it aired at 4:30 in the morning). None of them are open or willing to show the game. We end up going to the visitor centre to ask them for help. We are desperate and have to watch the game. They can’t find any place to show the game either, but after our suggestion of possibly renting a TV they make a couple of calls for us. Most of the campervans here have TV’s, so we thought it may be possible to rent it from a camping.

We were not expecting this: The place the visitor center referrers us
to is called Rent-a-Roo and does long term lease on electronic
appliances with an option to buy at the end of the term.
The owner is very kind and willing to help us desperate dutchies out. So for 25 dollars rent and 100 dollar bond we have a deal. The owner says we have to pick up a TV that he is delivering to a client the next day. So Julian ends up going with the guy to an electronics store. He gets to pick out a 1000 dollar brand new LG 42 inch flat screen LCD TV that they buy at the spot and load up in our campervan! Dude is crazy!! The TV takes up the whole back of our van and Na Young doesn’t even dare go into the supermarket, scared of leaving the van with that brand new TV in the back! We now have a massive pimped with a TV campervan just for the two of us to watch the game. And YES we are victorious!!! On to the final!!
