Okay so i havn't blogged for awhile, but alot has happened. I did the quad-biking which was great fun, I was tearing up the roads. Surprisingly it was with an old couple who were behind me, I kept slowing down loads on the straights so I could accelerate loads!! The guy who took us was basically a drover and took us to one of the waterholes that they ffed the cattle at. The flies were just swarming me whenever you got off the quads. They were 330c.c. so quite impressive. The guy who took us round was a tall, cowboy-type, not redneck tho, friendly, wearing jeans and cool boots. His mate who picked us up from train was a funny guy who had it out for the pommies. Then back to train station to pick up harry and dash into Alice Springs. The cowboy-type, Mike, came by and said he'd give us a lift to a hostel he recommended. I said we'd already called a cab. Bit of a bugger. The hostel was called Annies Place. It probs the best one we've stayed in. It had air-con, tv in room, restaurant and bar area, apparently on the first night some guy had broken into bar after it shut and stole alcohol! Anyway we pretty much got to the room and were invaded by three english girls. Two of them fat and ugly, and one which I hadn't noticed till later was a pretty gone little gal. Her name was Donna, kinda cuty. The hostel also had pool. We ate, and those girls came back later at night, once I'd found this really cool black cat, (which donna claimed was hers) and they said come out to some pub, infact the only late night pub in area. I didn't leave straight away, but did in hour or such. The pub was alright, quite alot of abo's. One of which looked like he was out for a fight. Lets call him Bob(cos thers more on him). Anyway was talking to donna for abit who was smashed. I got pretty drunk. Met some guy from NZ who decided to go to casino with. He payed for taxi. I got in, went to get some money out then they threw me out!! Too drunk...
Outside that Bob had got kicked out and was walking aggressively with his five sisters around. Some fat geezer got kicked out and said the wrong thing to Bobs sisters, Bob squared up. No fight tho. I met this vicky girl outside, she got taxi with me back. Again she paid for it. I said I owed her a drink, and had every intention of buying her one, but she didn't reply to my txt when sent one nxt day. Weird, when got back, thers a code for front of hostel, forgot it, but harry opened for me. he'd been waiting, apparently i sent txt saying im scared some guy looks like hes gonna take my money" - and then didn't reply for ages. This was bad, poor guy was worried. Anyway had to get up at 6nxt morn for uluru. Phone ran out of battery, and camera out of pics, so no picsa of uluru. With quite big group. Flies incessant, but rock was beautiful, also went to see Olgas, which were a sight. They provided food. We had sunset bbq watching uluru. Wasn't as spectacular as hoped. Then we got taken to some motel for the night, we'd payed for a 2-day tour. Motel was alright. 2nd day commenced. Much smaller group, old english couple and a pair of korean/japo tourists, who loved harry, thinking he looked asian! This time got fly-net-hat, which harry had wisely bought day b4.
Went to see Kings Canyon. Very impressive. Tour guide very concerned about heat exhaustion so we didn't do main long walk, but still went up cliff-face where i got some gd pics. Then took us to nice little spring. Very enjoyable day, close-group so good atmosphere, less of us and whatnot. Then back to hostel, dosed around nxt day and then left for Darwin. We got river cruise at Katherine, which harry said he preferered to uluru, which he also greatly enjoyed. It was exhilarating, got a bit wet. I twas like a long speed boat thing. Got some great pics of Gorge. Then back to the Ghan(train). Next stop Darwin. Got cheap shuttle bus into darwin. I don't like darwin nearly as much as Adelaide. The buildings are tacky and its too much like construction site/ touristy hotels. The road we're on is hostel road with bars and eateries on. Its got none of Adelaide's seductive beauty. Harry says he prefers it though. Havnt been drinking since here as IBS was hurting. Found spicy food really good for IBS! We've mainly been going to cinema in evenings to pass time, playing footy on park in day. I sorted out bank account for job festival. Decided Im gona buy cheap car, as harrys leaving later today and Im gonna do Kakadu for 1 day, and then leave and drive all way to Gold coast for festival, need to get there before 21st, should be fine! Theres plenty of cars on sale, ill prob get a cheaper one, which ill need to register again for 6months, but onli costs $220. I just prefer the freedom of having car, rather than airplaning eveywhere. Plus ill see alot more.
Harrys going later, so hopefully meet again in Brisbane. Hes still going sydney because he can get his ipod fixed there, which only works when chargers plugged in for some reason. And the charger belongs to me. I need to make sure this car will past test first tho b4 buying. Because if three things are no good then ill hav to pay for repaisrs. So may be worth buying a more expensive car thats registered for longer. Anway Im meeting guy today to see his XF falcon, which is up for only $950. But it has rto be registered again soon. But will have good examine. Shame I don't have a mechanic with me...
Thats was quite brash and fast but im running out of time at this internet cafe so had to be quick. Muchluv to allxxx My joruney will be Darwin tio gold coast and I plan to go around coast as plenty of gas stations along way, if I cut into center may not be enough gas or whatever, so may be doggy. Anyway, thats my plan.
To everyone, muchluvxxx O ye and im not going to victoria in a hurry!
