Tourists!

Hey guys! Well lots has changed over the last few weeks, as usual! Stepped down from being supervisor as couldn't be bothered with the 6/7 day weeks and 11/12 hour long shifts! Don't need the money that badly for Asia and started to get really tired and cranky all the time! Since I've stepped down I'm doing 5 days a week with two days off in a row and loving it! Get to go out, explore and spend more time with mel which is much better for me :) I had an interview for a camel riding place the other week working in the retail shop then taking photos of the camels on the beach, but the  retail shop was so boring I had to walk out! Got an interview tomorrow for a manager role at free choice tabaconsists haha gonna go for it out of interest! But happy with hours and life at zoo :)

 Just put my laptop in for repair (covered by apple, after an hour long rant at them on the phone going from manager to manager!) cos it kept making a weird beeping sound! And yesterday I sent off my passport application (300 dollars ouch!!!!!) so I can get my passport sorted once and for all; thank you to Adam, his mum vic and mum for helping out with sending all ye details! And of course mel for helping me fill out the forms and keep a cool head! :) love you all! And can't wait to go and visit Adam and his family in Perth freemantle in a few months!

Sight seeing wise, we went on a boat party aboard the karma last Sunday which was great fun! :) just drinking and dancing all day long with a dj in board then onto a pub for live music and more dancing! Mel and I met these two young girls who were shy but we got them up to dance! Haha. Cute. But happy to let them go back to mummy when they started crying and eating burgers. I went to see dark knight on Friday night with a girl from the hostel at the outdoor cinema :) was so cool cos bats flee across the screen while we were watching it haha and we could see the moon- was lovely! Then been chilling going to the beach, and taking loads of photos so I can make another video, made loads but haven't uploaded them as it takes ages to process and upload but hopefully will get to do it soon. Yesterday I took a walk along the old missionary park and last night we went to Matsos brewery where they make mango, lychee, ginger and all sorts of flavoured beer !!! We had a beer and a curry (three types!) and talked about travelling with another friend called Amanda who we live with at the hostel :) then went to open mic at murpheys where our friends nic an Matt got up and played hakuna mattata form the lion king haha they had balls! So yeah been up to a lot recently, going to go the ganthiam point tomorrow morning to watch the sunrise with mel and zee bar tonight for 9 dollar cocktails then oasis tomorrow for the wet t shirt competition !!! Enjoying lying on the beach currently, high lighting places we want to go in south east Asia in a lonely planet we found!

Broome is getting stupidly humid and hot.  And wetseason hasnt really begun yet, october will be interesting.... Mel is happy, working harder than me to save as she has to go home but keeping our eyes on the prize :)

Loving life and everyone, missing marketing lot but looking forward to seeing you in January and anyone looking to book a holiday in a few years we will be in brazil for world cup 2014 so think about that...!!! :) 

Love you all loads xxxxxx

WAorking


Things have been going well over the last few days... Went into work yesterday and spoke to the owner about booking a day off... And he said he needed to speak to me ... Here we go again, I thought. Fired !!! Haha, nope, the opposite. I got promoted to Supervisor! Which means the same amount of (40-45) hours when the season dies down as well as more money, effective immediately! So that's good. Learnt the cash up last night. Should be doing a mixture of shifts as I think I am now on the floor more than the bar, but it's ok. So, I'm happy I can make more money.

Had an amazing day off on Sunday... Went on an all day boat party called the Karma 1V (what happened to the last three boats?... would rather not know) So we went around the bay a little, drank loads of beer and swam in the seas. Photos are on Facebook :) it was such a fun day, Mel couldn't come because she was working but hopefully she will get a Sunday off soon so she can go!! So much fun though, and then we went to Divers (a bar) afterwards to see the Cable Beach Beauty contest... and one of the girls from the hostel applied and got on stage! Just for the $50 bar tab haha.

Today is my day off so we are going to a crocodile park!!! Apparently we can play with all of the baby crocodiles! Should be a pretty epic day! Updates to come. Hoping to go out for a few drinks tonight as well! May need a few after playing with crocs all day! 

Update soon! xx
