Pirates backpackers, Freo

Ok, ive decided to give this a go but i dont have regular internet access so we will see how it goes! also im no literary genius so ill need a while to get into the swing of it! forgive me if its only nearly as good as one of my stories!

ive arrived in fremantle safely, less one bag though, luckily ive brought some clothes in my handluggage. a bit lonely, tired and hot but it can only get better!

the flights were ok, quite uneventful, flew via kuala lumpur, and arrived in perth. waited for my bag, which didnt arrive so i filed a report and went to get the bus to fremantle. Two hours later I got on the bus and found the hostel. the bus driver was a chatty australian lady who LOVED irish people, because were so much fun.

the last couple of days have just been a haze of sleeping, noise and heat. the temperature was 37 degrees yesterday. it was minus ten at home last week. the hostel im staying in is lovely and really homely but i think it is the noisiest place ever! if its not the music blaring till two am its the pub next door throwing all their bottles in the bin, or the bin lorry at 0600, im still jet lagged though so it doesent bother me.

there was two girls in the room when i arrived, theyre nice, one left today. i was supposed to go to the beach yesterday with her and i went to sleep for 'half an hour'and woke up three hours later!

this morning it poured rain unbelievably. i was sitting on the balcony talking to an irish fella and we felt like we were home! it stopped then which was good as i needed to go out and buy a few things and it also took the temperature away till the clouds cleared so it was good. so today i went and bought some stuff since my bag is still missing.

i went to see the boat ill be working on, its cool, ill get some pictures soon. im starting work tomorrow so hopefully it will settle soon and ill feel right at home! ill write more about that next time.
