Australia : Western Australia, Perth - Road Trip

Spending 11 days road tripping north Perth - it has been an interesting experience.

This is a checklist of things I have achieved so far.

- Almost killing someone - yes, N. My travel buddy. 24/7 with N. Not a pleasant experience at all. We were friends before Oz. On a daily basis, he calls me "b*tch!", says he wants to "punch" me and yells out "I hate you". Don't worry, I give as good as I get - "Why you always picking on me?" (ok, that's kinda rubbish reply...) and then I deliver my favourite line, "N***, you're a d***!" (it rhymes! I'm such a poet!)

- Saw kangaroos. In fact, loads. About 20, so far. They all have one thing in common. They're all roadkill. Yep, all lying dead and rotting in the hot sun at the side of the road, getting their insides eaten by all the Aussie creatures. Lovely...

- Fed a dolphin!!! So damn cute!!! I was one of the lucky few who got randomly selected to feed a dolphin at Monkey Mia. I attribute this to the bright red dress I decided to wear that day, complete with bright red Crocs. It made me stand out. Should have seen N's face - green with envy. LOL!

- Eaten delicious delightful foods - lobster fresh out of the ocean, cajun-dusted softshell crab, big mama of a steak, big fat juicy prawns... cost me an arm and a leg, but at least I get an extra flab of belly!

- Lived at this villa which faced the Indian Ocean and watched a beautiful sunset; but then again, also lived in this yukky hostel aka prison cell!

- Saw a shooting star in the lovely night sky. I then proceeded to walk backwards with my head facing the sky to see if I could see another one. Looked like a lunatic and nearly tripped over.

- Got homesick and cried a river after speaking to my mum.

- Been ill too. Got this disgusting phlegmy, chesty cough which makes me sound like a hardcore smoker. Got backache from carrying my luggage and sleeping on lumpy beds.

- Getting tanned even after slapping on factor 50.


Now, off to a glass boat ride at Coral Bay. Hope I don't fall off cos I can't swim. Hope I make a friend and don't look like a total loner. Hope I don't get mugged. Hope I can put up some photos soon - cos I THINK that my sister thinks that I am making up all these stories about wonderful travelling tales when I am actually hiding in some dodgy hotel in Glasgow!! HAHA! As if!

Australian phrases which I plan to put into practice -
- G'day! (this will be used on a hot Aussie dude)
- RACK OFF! (this will be used on N)
