Broome Time!

Hello from Western Australia!!!

I made it to my final main land state and it feels good! And also very hot, it is by far the hottest place i have been in oz so far, 36 yesterday, now that is India revisited, sweating and all!

Completly love Broome, have very easily slipped into 'Broome Time' chilled and enjoying the sun and pool at the hostel. The town is very laid back and quite at the moment, as the wet season comes to an end, but it is still beautiful. The colours here are so vivid and if you get the opportunity you should definitly google earth this place! The sea is blue, the sand white and the red dirt that is everywhere makes you feel somwhere completly different!

80% of the world's pearls come from Broome. It has a rich pearl history and you can still see the pearl luggers out on the horizon. And if you wondering, of course i invested!!! Who wouldnt!? i have never seen pearls like it, shop after shop, thats all there really is to shop for here, lol!

So after nearly a week of going solo (which i soon settled into and have probably spoken to people who i wouldnt necessarily have done - inc. two lovely girls in my room for Tawain) Kirst arrived this afternoon and it has been so good to see her! It has also been good to have a great conversation and not in pigeon enlgish, hehe!! She has bought some homely comforts which have gone down very well! i am just about to tuck into only my second bar of galaxy since i have been away, its going to be good! something i have learnt from this trip, never take a good piece of chocolate for granted!

So what is the plan? Well we have decided to go on the ultimate road trip and drive down the west coast to perth, all 2,500km!! In two weeks! I am SO excited, its going to be amazing and will be great to have the luxury of a car and go where we want when we want! It turns out that it is cheaper than using the public transport and we will be able to see so much more! The internet is very expensive, so probably wont have time to blog now until we reach Perth two weeks on Friday.

Just a quick hello, to say all is well! Will update you when i can! xxx
