Hey all!
Sorry for not blogging for a long time; I've been busy and lazy :P
Currently I'm in Perth, Western Australia!! It feels like I'm in a different country--it's uber hot and sunny! And it's weird, Perth looks like a city and yet it's totally empty. So far, I haven't done a whole lot in Perth, I arrived less than 12 hrs ago and all I've done is go to the grocery store and slept lol. I don't know why but lately I've been super tired...
Being on my own again after spending a couple of weeks with my cousin feels so strange. I miss him and his family so much but after a couple of days I'll get back into the groove of things! Tomorrow I'll start my first tour of Western Australia and I have no idea what to expect...I mean I know a little of what to expect but for the most part no...which, for someone who likes to plan things to a tee, is hard to deal with :P but i should learn from my past and realize you can't plan things to a tee...just ballpark it! I'm supposed to spend 2 weeks in Western Aussie and do two tours and at this point I don't know how I'll make it lol. Not saying there's nothing to do in Perth cuz there are some good day trips I can do but I dunno, I feel like I could've used my days better. It's just these first two weeks that's kind of spread out and oddly planned but it's all good, going with the flow.
My time in Sydney was awesome, and I will be going back--it's my "home base" in between all my trips! I went to the Blue Mountains which are truly gorgeous; the blue comes from the evaporated oils from the eucalyptus trees that cover the mountain. I will have to go back when it's nice and sunny so that I can hike it. After that I went to Canberra to see the Parliament Bldg; my cousin felt it was important for me to see it...it took me an hour to see it and then I got utterly bored! But at least I can say I went there and saw it :)
Anyhoos folks, I'll update more after my first day of touring--totally excited to see new things but at the same time I'm not loving how all these tours start super early. At least there's a bonus for coming all the way to perth from sydney is that I'm living on Sydney time--waking up at 6am over here is waking up in Sydney at 9am! woots!
Wow, those Blue Mountains sounds really cool! Especially the why they are blue part. Those are the kind of things that make Aussie special eh?
ReplyDeleteHope you find something wonderful and unexpected on your tours. But even if they are a little spread out and laid back...here's a chance to take a deep breath and reflect on everything that's happened since you've got to Aussie--how it feels to set your goals and live them, what you've learned about yourself, people watch!
Take care!!!
