So we got to Broome we were the most excited people ever to be in WA basically ever. We literally just drove around Broome for over an hour just going 'wow' and hugh fiving each other it was a truely high school musical moment in time.I dont know if I mentioned this in the last entry but we had drove 3800kms in a Holden Barina aka Corsa wowsers Top Gear Challange for sure. So we did extremely well of course which maybe explains the excitement or the fact the 45degree heat was making us extremely delirious. Either way we were super happy and full of beans.
So we check into a backpackers called the Roey, we go there as it sports 4 bars and a outdoor nightclub which is what me and Chris have been waiting our lives for. We celebrate again by heading straight to a beer garden and getting a good old Pale Ale woo hoo. But wow it is hot hot hot here we are all dripping with sweat like so badly. Its very attractive. the humidity is literally mental its horrible. So we perservere with our pub crawl and end up in Matso's brewery which is s*** but has a nice ocean view, the beer is vile I have a chango flavour beer which is chilli and Mango. oh wow its disgusting. On our day out we make friends with a nice lass Jess from Blackpool she tells us to move hostels and when to go out and where so we are happy we are now officially in the know. Back to Matsos and we meet some aussies from Margaret River obviously, we cannot escape the place it appears. How Random and such a small world on the West Coast.
We end up in a Irish Pub - standard brits abroad behaviour and we meet a guy who we saw earlier that morning in the roadhouse whilst awaiting some petrol topping up he offers to take us mud crabbing which I am so excited about as I have visions of me on a boat sunbathing drinking a beer watching the waves while the boys catch then bbq crabs for us and me and Kat are waited on hand and foot. But I am later told by Kiwi Ben that actually its going to be me digging on my hands and knees in the mud getting attacked by crabs and certainly no where near a boat nevermind being on one with a beer so I decide mud crabbing is not for me and we never call him to sort it out as it sounds like japanese war torture day out. So that night we end up going out for a spot of food in the bar where Blackpool Jess is and we then end up in the bar next door later on its dead apparently people dont party on mondays in Broome. Chris picks up a scouse man and I end up getting stuck with the most boring australian man I have ever met he proceeds to tell me how the post office system works in Oz and Chris continually buys me vodka so I cant go home as he is enjoying how pained I am listening to this dickhead. Some friend he is. We have no idea where Kat is this whole night but when I go back to the hostel she is of course chatting a French Man up! she loves her french she does.
The next day we get up and move backpackers to the YHA the kimberely klub or the KK it has a pool and young people and a bar and happy hour - holy s*** guys I am home for sure now!
We make friends with Ryan from Northampton first, we then head to cable beach (apparently in top 5 beaches of the world) its nice but its not that nice, in fact I think its a bit crap i have been to a lot of nice beaches worldwide and this is not in the top 20 for sure. no offence like but way better beaches on the west. its also super windy like sandstorm winds and there is stingers in the sea which kill so we leave for the safety of the pool, we also see a dead snake on the beach...
that nights its open mic night in Murphys so we head there and its s*** what a let down! and its a right trek but we are all merry and by now we have like a million new friends including Jess from Manchester, Matt, Jodie, Billy and Jana from Germany so its all good in the hood we are officially the popular kids in school like seriously haha.
So its wednesday we have a day at the pool as its far to hot to actually do anything else here its ridiculous to be honest, I walk to woolworths to get lunch and its a ten minute walk and I almost die due to heat conditions and also I see some dingoes which is scary as they do kill I think? and I see a lot of Abbos who whistle and make popping noise at me - no idea what that means? on the night we play drinking games based on a childhood game with a piece of paper where you pick colours and numbers then you pick a final number and your dare is under there I cant remember the name but its awesome. Our dares include... Jump in the pool, swap tops, lie under pool table until your next go, act like a chicken, pigeon, draw a mustache on someone and of course skull your drink. So we all get pretty drunk and end up outside the hostel drinking goon on the grass as we cant take drink into the hostel how annoying.
We spend thursday by the pool obviously today is in preparation for the biggest party night in broome however its THURSDAY people we are so excited. Tonight there is a club where we can party until 4 am! OMG that is mad! There is also a wet t shirt competition which I will not be joining in but this is just proof of how big this night is its like IBIZA! So off we go after drinking in the hostel we're waiting for Ryan to finish work so we can go and we get there just in time for the competition basically 3 girls enter one is this proper slag from our hostel she is French and we hate her and she comes last the other 2 win joint first so we all cheer that the slag has not won $500! we then continue to dance and party all night long its actually like Ibiza me and Chris are crazy hyper all night its class, clubbing in a outdoor club wow! we then head to another indoor club with outdoor area I forget the name but wow we are so excited all night, Please remember this is best partying we have had access to since I left Melbs and he left Sydney, its mental exciting!! Of course I chat up the clubs owner in hope of free drinks but instead i'm offered a job starting tomorrow. I politely decline and then leave as he is not getting the free drink hint clearly. Me and Chris finally leave at 3.45am via the burger van we get hot dogs and one teeny beef spring roll to share. Best night ever!!
So friday is a day of recovery around the pool of course ending with a session of drinking goon on the grass outside the hostel - Broometime baby!
Saturday is our last day although I love Broome I'm feeling full on backpackery mode at the moment so have itchy feet to hit the road again, and the heat is killing me and I never thought I would be one to complain about that but I am here as its actually horrendous heat at 1 am its still 38 degrees the humidity is just awful and the dorm is not airconned at all so literally no where to go to escape it apart from the freezer store in the bottleos. so after a day around the pool I go on a tour of Broome with Kiwi Ben he has lived her a few months and knows tons about it so its good unfortunately the heat of broome has killed my phone and none of the amazing pictures I tool this day have survived dammit. but nevermind it was a lovely trip out. I get some beers for me and Chris to toast our last night. on my way back in the hot australian who I would love to go de facto with tells me there is a beach party tonight woo hoo so we have a party on our hands tonight almost a farewell team barina party night.
Me, Chris, Matt and Ryan have a bbq nandos night that night and drink a bit then just before the beach party Chris decides he's not going as his ear hurts (drama queen) so we all head out in a massive taxi and get beach partying, its absolutely wicked on a lovely part of cable beach with sand dunes, we have a fire, music and people! its so cool, the stars are out all pretty and on the way to the beach down this freaky pitchblack sandy path we see a snake me and jodie do anyways haha. scary! watch the snake here!! So we party all night and eventually after been serenaded by Ryan and Matt - they sing One Direction to me. We head off to get another massive taxi back to KK we get in one its about 4am and get back to the dorm drinking a bit more vodka and a dip in the pool on arrival and we discover Chris has an empty bed... but we cant figure out how he's pulled when the whole hostel was at the party but we soon discover he is down stairs almost in tears as his ear hurts...?! true story. Scousers are pathetic haha. so we leave him whinging away and me and Matt spend the next hour and a half doing scouse impressions of Chris being a wimp until eventually its 5.35 - I basically should be getting up now as we leaving at 6am but I figure I'll just have 10 mins, Chris wakes me up at 6am hitting me on the head haha. I am furious. so me and Kat get ready and we get downstairs and Chris has stolen the car the cheeky f***er so I text him explaining we are never going to get anywhere until he comes back. its a traumatic drive to Port Hedland when Chris is not moaning about his ear and no sleep hes refusing to drive.
but some funny moments in broome revolved around the german couple we met who were so dull, sandra and sebastian. Chris was continously caught staring at her boobs by Seb. and Sebastian always used to say things he didnt like was the Rape of Beer? it made no sense but he said it so much. Me and Chris also though Sandra was in love with him which brought on a lot of 'Chris I love you' impressions in german. And also one day I saw her clearly attempting suicide in the pool but Sebastian kept saving her. So weird. Everytime they sat next to me at breakfast I died inside... but they provided us with a lot of ammunition for jokes etc which was always entertaining.
we plan to stay in Port Hedland that night but I decide we should keep going to get to Dampier so we get there and Camp again, see more kangaroos there then head to Canarvon the next day stay in a nice campsite with a pool, and then the next day we make it to Perth I go to the apple shop they give me a temporary fix for my phone but its now broke again obviously. We have a night in Perth in this s*** hostel called the Dive i mean Hive. Its crap, full of dickheads and an abbo outside tries to break in calling us all murderers. Only one thing for it, we get some goon and get on it in the outside decking area. Chris goes to bed early again he can not take the pace and me and Kat stay up until about 2am. In the morning we have to leave at 8 as parking is not free after 8 so off we trot back to Margaret River. We get back around 11 go and see James and Connor then check in to the hostel and spend the day chilling with Alannah and Hazel and all the new hostel folk its lush to see everyone.
On thursday me and James have some time catching up in the memorial park with a few bottles of Wine, I have a few drinks in the settlers with Chris and his Mate Scouse Lisa too as she is here for the day and then me and Chris go to Jims and Connors for Sunday Roast we have Turkey and Beef its absolutely lush and we have a birthday Tiramasu for Daniele he is so happy and we are all so drunken and play with sparklers then I end up in the settlers again but send myself home at 10 as I need my bed unfortunately for me I moved in to the girls dorm that day and had no made my bed so did that when I got in and its a top bunk. annoying.com.
So anyways yeah back in Margs I leave on Sat or sunday to head to Melbourne but planning on doing as far up east coast as we can manage now with Teg Sam and Alannah so I cant wait to get back on the road again!! There is a few of us heading to Melbs which is nice and exciting!!
so I will keep you posted love n hugs xxxxx
