An early departure from Broome

Heyaaaa

Everything has changed once again and we are leaving Broom next week for a road trip down the West Coast, ending in Perth, where we will get jobs and set up shop for a few months, before heading to Asia !!!

I have about $3000 saved at the mo and will get a job in Perth. Wanted to leave Broome for a change of scene and its really sweaty and humid now its coming into the wet season and all of our friends are leaving. And our hours are dropping. It just feels like the time is right.

Any followers of this, have you seen my new food blog? About to update it again now! :D hope you like it!!

Mel and i really can't wait to get to Perth no, we want to find a gym and get back into shape before our asia tour. and for mel, before her best friend's wedding back in the UK. We are meeting in Bangkok on 21st, I'm flying from Perth and she from the UK after the wedding. Then we will begin our tour of asia. Mel is then going back to Australia at the end of january and i will continue the Asia tour or perhaps try somewhere else around the world for work, until I meet up with Mel again in Canada!

Really relieved... My passport has just arrived!!! Yay!!! So all of that annoying back and forth and sending things was worth it. Many thanks to Mum, Adam, Adam's mum, , Vicky and of course Mel for helping me with all of the application/form stuff, what a nightmare!!... Going to give it to Mel to look after until she leaves, she is a lot more careful with her belongings than me...

So, we have both handed in our notices! Zoo Bar and Cafe have said they want me to do some design work for them!! :) designing menus, event posters etc! which i am really excited about! extra money and experience etc etc! See below, I just designed this for the AFL game next week!.........

I (as of this morning) have got a duty manager interview for an entertainments venue called The Bakery, in Perth, North bridge. Job involves running events, opening and closing the venue etc, so it will be good if Mel can get a job there too and we can work together, and get into entertainments stuff, and its only for a few months and hopefully the money will be really good!!! :D very happy about that! but obviously applying all over the place as well for general jobs.

OK i think thats it for now!!!

Speak soon!! love and miss you all!!...

Oh and we are now going to Canada from April 2013 - april 2014!!!!

xxxxxxx

6 weeks of Broome down/to go!

Work is going well, plodding along, same old now really. Getting to know everyone from work now so beginning to feel a lot more at home in Broome now. There is a new GM that has just started though so he is changing a lot of things around so everyone is worried their hours are going to get cut and work will become a lot less kushti!!! Hopefully not, cos im just starting to really like it.

Loving our new hostel; moved a few days ago into a cheaper place, which is cleaner, nearer to work and so much more chilled! Love it, and we have a TV, fridge and shelves in our room! And can go back to the hostel at cable beach whenever we like when we fancy socialising! A lot of people have left now though, so we are hanging out with our room mates, Brian and Joal and also Mel’s work mates!

On Sunday, we (everyone from the cable beach backpackers and a few people from my work too) went to a BOAT PARTY! We all went to breakfast at Zee Bar before hand for a Champagne breakfast! Then partied on the boat until 6pm! Then saw the fireworks on the green by cable beach and then danced the night away to some live music because it was the end of the Chinese pearl festival !!!

Mel and I are trying to be good and staying in until we go, with only a few nights out here and there so we are not spending! Saved about $3000 for asia now, but need a few more grand so I can spend a few weeks in perth and have enough for flights etc! so saving hard!! Also, we plan, if we can get the visa sorted, to go to Canada on a WHV now from April2013 for a year or two!

Currently putting together a new Broome video, finishing off with the boat party photos, so should put it together, and have it finalised by next week so will upload to Youtube asap so everyone can take a look!! :D

Had a really nice day the other day, went to the Op Shop with Cara (who has now gone boo hoo) and bought a few new items, a top, some shorts and a new dress, all for $11… ! then we went for lunch at the Egyptian kebab house in town, its really cool inside, with draping rugs and fabrics on the ceilings, lanterns, and they sell baklava and Turkish tea in little metal decorated cups, like we used to have when I was growing up. They get really busy! Cute little place. Then we went to the beach, watched and took loads of photos of the sunset on cable beach, then had a home made bbq at cable beach backpackers – sean, this aussy guy, who has also moved on now made it. Tonight we went to irish murpheys, a pub that has open mic night on a Tuesday! Last night we went to half price tapas after I finished work and tomorrow we will probably chill as we plan on having a big one on Thursday which will be our one big night out this week.

Really looking forward to Perth as may be meeting up with a few familiar faces there, which will be awesome.
