It seems i have been here almost a week now and time is flying by. settling in grand now at this stage and getting to know the place better. i havent written in a few days so ill start and work back.
Well, first of all i got my bag back which is brilliant! have managed to avoid having to shop for stuff and trying to find a camera charger etc. that was here last night when i got back, i was so delighted to see it i hugged the night porter guy, id say he didnt know what to do!
so the day before yesterday i went down to work to organise a few things, then in the afternoon we went out sailing for the night, we sailed out of fremantle and around the north of rottnest island where we sailed around for the night. it was really cool, its a big barquentine sailing ship with 16 sails and 55 metres long, there was about 29 of us there, i just watched and tried to stay out of the way! the weather was beautiful and i managed to get sunburned through all the layers of suncream i had on! obviously i never thought to wear a hat and got burned on my head! during the night a cray pot line got stuck in one of the propellers, so the next day we had to anchor and two of the lads got out the snorkelling gear and took the RIB down, they took turns diving down to cut the ropes off, it took ages as there was so much of it there! and one of them lost his wedding ring in the process :( when we came back, there was a BBQ, actually it was fish and chips and beer in the end. so we had a few beers there and headed into town for another, by this stage it was way past my half past eight bed time! so at that stage i left and came back here, where, when checking my mail i was reunited with my lovely possessions! then the nightporter, presumably shocked by the hug came in and said that himself and the irish fellas were going for a drink so i went with them for one in rosie o gradys, where else! came back here to the music blaring and a full dorm of girls, the mess in that room is unreal! im moving out in the morning so im just after sorting out all my own stuff for the big move down the road! i just went shopping for shampoo etc too since my reliable little travel size guys have served me well and disappeared!. its great having an excuse to shop!
so apart from the sailing, im not sure what else i have been doing that is of any interest. ive been basically finding out where everything is, all that kind of thing.
i just looked out the window and there is an old classic ford convertible motor car outisde, gleaming red in the sun, with cream leather seats and a sparkling silver engine. its lovely. i must go and take some pictures now that i have the camera charger back.....
