Our last night with the gang was a little shorter than the previous one. We only managed a couple of drinks before heading back due to the 4.30am wake up for our flight to Perth. It was sad to say goodbye to everyone, a really really good bunch of people. Ben did his 'mar-mee-tay, vey-je-mee-tay noo-tell-ahhh' routine (in joke) and we got it on video so we were happy. He also beat me at pool the git! Strange to think really that in a couple of months Ben'll be back in France, Katherine (who has already headed to Sydney) will be back in the UK, Laurina will be in Canada, (dirtygirl) Zoe, and Rog will be in Sydney and we'll be in South America - literally all spread round the world.

So, here we are in Perth. First impressions are that it's a very laid back big city. We met up with Helen and Rich for lunch - they're off up the coast today and we've arranged to meet in Coral Bay on 29th for some diving. They had a spot of bother with their campervan from Wicked Campers as the one they were allocated had a porngraphic depiction of a couple of women and their sex toys. Unsurprisingly they weren't amused and the van is currently being re-sprayed...

We've brought our van forward by a few days and are thus picking it up tomorrow. It means we can spend more time heading up the coast. Ours is from NQ rentals and has no daubings on the side thank God.
