ROADTRIP 1 - CORAL BAY

So, after my last post, Id just got up to Coral bay with Ze Germans, and Diego. It was dark though, so I didnt really get a good look at it. I didnt check into the hostel, because I thought 'sod it! Ill sleep in my car, save a bit of cash'.

Turns out there was nowhere for me to sleep without paying though, and by the time I realised this, everywhere was shut. Oh well, Ill just sleep in the carpark by the beach anyways. If the Ranger comes around, he can sod off. Ill tell him exactly where to stick it, he doesnt scare me! (etc etc)

...so yes, 630am, theres a knock on the window, wakes me up. Outside, there is only what I can possibly describe as a Human Mountain. This bloke is fecking huuuuge. Hes 7 ft tall, and about 5ft wide, and pretty angry. Yeah. I kinda folded. ('please sir, yessir, ill move sir, pleasesir please anything. sorrysorrysorry'). And moved on.

It did make me massively grumpy though (The furthur before 10am I wake up, the more massively annoyed at everything I am), so im going to skip past the page long rant about absolutely everything (from the sun being too bright, to a strap getting stuck in the boot of my car, to the colour red. These are just some of EVERYTHING that was annoying me for the 1st 3 hours of my day! :P)

I did concede in my four hour ranting marathon though, that this place did have a  Stunning bay, with pristene, clear, turquoise waters, perfect for swimming and snorkelling. I even saw a few sting rays in the sand, a turtle, and loads of snapper fish. It was pretty awesome. Theres some pictures up on facebook. In fact ive seen loads of turtles recently. Its thier breeding season, so theres turtle porn everywhere!

Busking wise it was pretty average, because theres only 200 people in town. still, I was pulling home $35-40 a day, which was enough for rent and a bit of food. Also, worth mentioning, not that anyone back home, who hasnt experienced it first hand, will understand, but the flies are ridiculous. They fly in your mouth, your eyes, your ears, they swarm around. Definately the worst thing about outback WA! :)

I also went to this shark sanctuary and saw my 1st shark, although I didnt have a camera to take a picture! I also played in the hostel on the 2nd night I was there, and the lady who runs the place was so impressed she gave me a free nights rent, which was good. Came in handy! I met some really cool people there actually. Defiantely one of my favorite places in Australia!
