Two Tickets to Paradise
Hellooooooo!
It's Amy. As Karina previously stated, we are alive. I'll take you all back a few days... or a week more like.
So last you heard, we were in Sydney... We flew out to Perth last thursday where we me up with our travel companion from LAX, Pat. A lovely woman of about 60-ish, she took us all around Perth, which was super nice and a definite upgrade from public transit, let me tell you! She even treated us to lunch where she practically forced us to eat as much food as humanely possible. She tried to treat us to coffee later, but we interceded and paid for her. She was pretty much the closest thing we've found to home with her grandmotherly ways...
When we arrived back at the hostel, we discovered that our roomates were not quite who we expected... we ended up spending the night with two guys!!! It was a new experience for the both of us... Felix from Hamburg was super cute, and super sick. Poor guy had the flu. And the British Bloke (never found out his name) was rip roaring drunk during the brief conversation we shared. Oh well... Quite a character he was.
Our bus from Perth left 4 hours late (Seems to be a trend with us), but during that time we befriended a super cute Aussie named Kurt. Ahh... Ha! Anyways, he was a bit older than we are, but he was really interesting to talk to. He recommended that we try Vegimite!! Sick.
After being stuck in Cervantes for 4 days (Stupid Pinnacles) with little to do but watch rugby on TV, chick flicks (gotta love Miss Congeniality), and read, we have safely arrived in paradise in the form of this nice little town called Monkey Mia (pronounced My-uhh). Complete with dolphins and dugongs (similar to the manatees in Florida) this little beach resort is right on a beautiful turquoise bay with crystal clear water, white sand, warm sun (jealous yet?), and plenty of cute beach bums to go around! We've been camping to save money but we never really paid the entrance fee since we got in at like 11 at night so... we're pretty much living here for free - aside from food which costs an arm and a leg. How naughty of us...
Our past few days have been filled with lots of sunbathing and we're finally getting tans to prove it too! Karina has fed a dolphin and i'm almost done with my book. Other than that... we've been pretty chill!
Well... I shall leave you all now and just be warned internet is few and far between..
Until next time... cheers!

I am so jealous of you both.. sounds like you're meeting a lot of interesting people! Can't wait until you get back, but I hope you're enjoying your time away! Happy 4th of July!!
I hope your dependence on the kindness of strangers doesn't turn you two into Blanche.

"internet is few and far between?" Don't you have a phone for christ's sake? Use it, would ya!
