Broome!
Hey Hey HEY! kiddlywinks!
First travel blog entry! \/\/3\/\/+0><!!!!
Arrived in Broome yesterday. I packed Ben Shermans, Jeans and shoes. I obviously had no idea whatsoever about what the weather was going to be like here. Rose and I had been so busy packing our stuff and organizing that side of this trip that we didn’t even discuss that part!
Broome Weather
Broome is hot. I mean.. Hot. Yesterday it was 36 degrees. Only 36 degrees you bastards are thinking cos that’s what I was also thinking. 36 degrees. AND 94% HUMIDITY!!!!!
Anyone who hasn’t experienced tropical/sub tropical weather, forget about trying to be told about it. Just go into your bathroom, turn on the hot shower (only shower) and let it steam up a whole bunch. Once the room is so steamy you sweat as soon as you get into the room, go out and grab a big radiator heater and hang it from the ceiling. Once it’s there, turn it on and stand under it.
That’s broome lol. Laugh it up fuckpants. When I get home, I’m going to slap everyone around who didn’t tell me it was so crazy hot up here.
Broome Beaches
They’re like beautiful paintings that you’re not allowed to look at. They look stunning, but you can’t set foot into the liquid turquoise because it’s full of jellyfish. Don’t even think about getting in that water. You’ll be nice and cool. 6 feet under.
Our Living Conditions
Our caravan park is pretty bleak, we’re moving tomorrow to a really lush one with a swimming pool that’s going to get a great deal of use! We’re really looking forward to getting into that pool. We’re getting another tent to store our gear in so we can keep the sleeping one clear as we’ve got quite a bit of gear and it’s super fucking awkward to move in there. Our current park is right on the beach. The beach we can’t swim in. OOh, and when we got there they said “Don’t go into the water. There’s jellyfish. And there was a crocodile there the other day”…. A crocodile. Can’t they fucking walk???!!!! So… We’ve got that going for us.
The Employment Situation
We’re securing good accommodation tomorrow morning then going for work. Bit of semi bad news today. We got the knockback for Home Valley Station so we’re out of luck for resort work although we’re kinda happy about it as we can stay longer here and get better work and chillax for longer.
lol, this internet cafe is so cheesy. Got a projector in one end with cheesy disco music and there’s a wall of nerds playing wow and what looks like quake.
At the beach where we’re staying at the moment, we went for a bit of a walk. Was awesome and found some fossilized shit in rocks and also an army of hermit crabs. Teeny tiny, the size of your pinky finger nail. I was laughing so hard at some of them cos the bigger ones, presumably smarter, we’re backing away from us into the corners of rocks (there were some concrete ‘rocks’ there to protect the mangrove). I’m sorry. But shells don’t gather in the corners of square rocks like that. YOU’RE NOT FOOLING ME HERMIT CRAB MAN! So I tortured it and ate it’s family. HA HA HA! PWNED.
The buses here cost $3.50 regardless of where you’re going. It’s a 10klm round trip or something and it’s $3.50 regardless of how far you go lol. You don’t get a ticket either so it can easily cost you $14 for 2 people going somewhere.
The aircon in this cafe is bossticle.
Look, I won’t mcguire this up too much more, but for everything that I’ve ragged out on this blog entry, it’s great here. We have both bitten off way more than either of us can chew but we’re laughing it off and we’ve decided just to keep chewing at a regular pace.
Will post some photos next entry. Take it easy fags!
wewt!!1! \o/
You’re living the dream! Sure it’s a hot, sticky dream, but I haven’t heard you complain about that yet. This post also had the absurd lack of focus/sense/chronology inherent in a dream. Ergo, it must be. No points for spotting my numerous grammatic flaws (chasms).
Bummer about the station/ranch/jungle/tundra jobs. Hey, have I told you about my ranch? Maybe another time. Focus for a minute, will ya? It sounds like there are numerous possibilities to keep you going until something substantial comes along. Chew on, I say. We can always send up some potato pancake mix and instant damper sachets to keep you going.
PS: Watch out for those crocs. Through my vast televisual experience with them I’ve determined that they’re only able to walk while you’re not looking, or while the music’s playing, or something like that. Either way they’re obviously devious. The rest of the time they just stand there with one leg in the air looking menacing, or getting wrestled by wildlife officers and television celebrities. So say I.
Your uncle and I have stood at an outside bar in nearby Derby gulping down beers and watching them form immediate pools of sweat at our feet! haha…didnt I tell you it was hot up there???
good lug with the job seeging and croc dodgin.
papa
Do they have IPv6 in that internet cafe?
