last nite travis went back 2 the states.waah.it will b a lot quieter now.in a gd way dat there wun b any noise.in a bad way dat there wun b any noise.
dan went back 2 his grandma's funeral 2.it was a real blessing 4 him.1st it went frm there not being any flights at all,2 only 1 seat on quantas wich was real ex then the price went 2 half,then he got upgraded 2 sq!he's really v blessed.= )
o yes,trip down south,i tink everybody really enjoyed it.really opened my eyes 2,esp wen living in the same confines wif pple.really c their true colors.both gd & bad.
its a bit funny coz the rented car wld practically not work without me giving directions!but its ok,really haf a better sense of confidence of myself as a navigator,esp wen the same road name changes halfway up the road and i really haf 2 use my intuition 2 navigate.
initial trip 2 albany was pretty straightforward,juz 1 highway,except 4 going out of city.most relaxed part of the trip,i cld actually sleep peacefully in the car!found the nice chalet.v nice.visited the blowholes wich werent blowing!went on the nice beach,saw the doggie looking dog rock,traipsed thru the natural bridge & gap then went off 2 pemberton!
the roads were real nice country ones.saw lotsa cows,sheep and the lot.the gals were going absolutely crazy over the "maah maahs".o yes we were joined by uncle eric,aunty lucy and faith.put the cousins 2gether & u get....u c 4 urself!= ) i really liked the wafts of cow manure,the rest of them didnt feel the same.= )
got slightly lost looking 4 the farmstay on 2nd day,but i tink dat was coz uncle henry listened 2 everybody else screaming directions cept me...o well realised how nice most aussies were,a businessman loaned us his handphone. farm was nice!there was a farm feeding frenzy in the morning.the fowl were so fat and the guinea pigs were so cute!cheryl really liked hers.we fed the horses and sheep and saw marron,a freshwater lobster.then me and uncle henry dared 2 climb the glouchester tree.the tallest eucalyptus in the area dat had been converted into a fire lookout pt wif rails winding up as a staircase.the view was great!
walked the treetop walk along the way 2 margaret river.cool!
stayed in a beautiful chalet there.was studying maps lik crazy dat nite 2 figure out how 2 plan the next day's route coz there were so many things 2 do.
brought them 2 a winery.& i couldn't belive it.the lady there didnt belive i was above 18 and refused 2 let me taste the wine.do i look dat young?it was really gd and cheap wine 2,i bought some.
went 2 choc factory next.the one the gals came all the way 2 oz 4.lots of nice tasters.popped by cheese,berry and fudge factories,and if u know wat this means they really "jiak kao pun" on all the tasters.i really love the fudge,but its so ex!
saw roos!finally.at a sorta sanctuary.they were so happy.
dat was the nite i got a bit drunk.again.ok dats it i dun lik feeling tipsy,dun c y pple lik getting drunk.i will juz drink 4 taste.starting 2 get hooked on whites.
