The only other problem i have is someone in the hostel has BED BUGS!!!! They havent attacked me but as soon as they do im out of there! Apparently they were in my room a ... read more

A day of travelling today - arrival Perth city. As we had no accommodation booked, we went to the very friendly and helpful Tourist Information. Luckily there was space available at the Comfort hostel in Belmont - positioned just on the outskirts of the city. Following recommendations from our room mates, the following day we went to Peter Pans' travel agency to help plan our travel itinerary. They were very helpful on selecting the right excursions for us - highly recommended. . We were surprised on arrival by the slightly cooler weather compared to the heat we became accustomed to in Malaysia - however we were informed that the breezes were probably caused by the cyclones occurring further up north which are fairly typical of this time of year. ... read more

Sorry to do two updates in one go but we have just got to a place with good cheap Internet! So we left Shark Bay, after seeing the Dolphins we headed out of town stopped in Denham for a while (where we tried to upload last entry) and then a really good ocean park run by a few blokes who basically fish in local area and keep local fish to show people... everything is really close and got to see sharks being fed etc and could touch a sea snake but did not fancy that as it has a bite which will kill you in 10 mins.. An anti venom needs to be taken within 5 mins... there was no anti venom at the place! Saying that they are very placid snake and no one ... read more

Hab ich gesagt gleichwertig? Der Wohnungsmark hat sich ein wenig beruhigt, weil alle Studenten mehr oder weniger untergebracht sind und die ersten auch schon wieder ausziehen, weil sie ihr Studium schon wieder geschmissen haben... Also ich habe jetzt zwei Optionen: Entweder ich ziehe zu nem semi-professionellen Surfer in sein kleines Häuschen mit wirklich hübschem Garten oder ich habe ne kleine schnucklige Wohnung am Strand - noch näher als bisher :-) Also zu erstem: Damian wird von diversen Surfboard bzw. Surfequipmentherstellern gesponsert. Der ist ja mal so was von cool drauf - hat mir gleich angeboten eins von seinen alten Brettern auszuleihen oder zu verkaufen, hat gesagt er könnte mir teilweise wenns die Zeit zulässt ein paar Dinge zeigen und Tipps geben, würde mir helfen die restliche Ausrüstung billig zu finden usw. und so fort. Hat nix ... read more

So we have spent the last few days travelling up North from Perth... we spent our first night in Kalbarri (6 hours from perth) really lovely coastal town... we then spent the next day travelling up to Shark bay which is off the main highway into a peninsula, named due to having lots of Tiger Sharks in the area, we spent the night camped in Monkey Mia famous for its wild dolphins which visit that beach daily. We woke up at 6.45 this morning (had to drag mel out) and saw the sun rise and then the dolphins arrived for breakfast...although they are wild they have always visited the beach to be fed by the local fisherman.. now this is taken over by the wildlife people who restrict the feeding. You stand ancle deep in ... read more
