Not quite Themla and Louise



So I hooked up again with 3 girls I'd met up north and we all wanted to go to see the south-west bit of Western Australia. We arranged to hire a car and everything seemed fine. THe nighht before we all headed out to this bar that is normally nice, but that day was a backpacker special. I'm not complaining cos I'm backpacking too and they gave you some hotdogs and a bottle of beer for $5, but it was a bit rough. A band came on and proceeded to murder various songs by The Killers, The Foo Fighters, The Stereophonics. After a while it was too much and I bailed. 2 mates did not. One of them was happily dancing when suddenly she felt her leg getting warm and looked down to find not only had someone just peed on her leg, but they were spinning round and round liberally spraying quite a few people. Needless to say she was not best pleased, but having washed her trousers proceeded to party on until the small hours, as did our other mate. Consequently we didn't leave at 10am the following morning and by the time we'd been to various hostels and got stuck in the one-way system in the centre of town it was about 12pm. We'd been given a Toyotta Corrolla. It's not very big and 4 people and all their stuff really don't fit into it very well (fortunately we got better at packing as the trip went on). Eventually we got out of the city with 2 pretty comatose people in the back and headed to Fremantle to buy some food then headed down the coast. Then we started ringing to book some accomodation...and found out it was schoolies week (where all the local kids finish for xmas and go nuts basically) and that nowhere was available. We ended up doubling back on ourselves and staying at a place called Bunbury which is famous for visiting dolphins, but we'd done that in Monkey Mia, so the next day we ploughed on to Albany. Albany has some great coastal areas to visit, with some cool rock formations but also a very noisy hostel where we got no sleep but did have an amusing time when someone came into the dorm and was so drunk they sat on a guy sleeping on the bottom bunk. Albany is apparently great for scuba diving but as I can't that wasn't a great attraction so we headed back west to a place called Denmark.

This post should have been titled, "Julia's mate gets pissed (on)!"

Enjoying the updates...especially as I write this from the BIP, where I'm covering thrilling quarter final snooker action! Does it get better than this? Probably not (despite what Thelma, Louise or Julia say!).
