First post from Oz :)

Fuck, where to begin. I've only been here 5 days, but in that short space of time I think I've felt every emotion under the sun. Fear, excitement, anticipation, overwhelmingness (that word looks so wrong but google tells me its right). Oh and you know that emotion 'What-the-actual-fuck-am-I-doing?!' That too. I won't bore you all with details of how long the flights were or the fact that I sat next to a very large man on the first plane, which actually meant that the flight socks my lovely ma bought for me were probably a waste of money, circulation was cut off quite quickly. He was a laugh though.

My first day here was pretty tough I'll admit. As much as getting on and off planes and getting on a bus here, was quite simple, the hard part was actually walking into an empty room, dumping my overly large rucksack, and thinking 'Well what do I do now?'. I actually ended up meeting a really nice German girl called Leonni, who I went into town with that evening to see the Christmas lights.

On the Monday I ended up meeting Grienne (its irish if you were wondering) and Keiran, two lovely gals travelling around Oz for 3 weeks. We spent three days hanging out and seeing some sights of Perth. OBVIOUSLY seeing a Kangaroo was first on the list. I know it's such a cliche but you can't come to Oz and not see one, can you?! We also went out drinking a couple of nights (The brass monkey was my fav, a little home from home) taking a trip to Freemantle, and taking a visit to kings park, all of which had the most incredible views! 

Today was a struggle I'll be honest. I almost don't want to say that because I know some people reading this will be thinking 'Your day was a struggle? Oh I'm sorry its such a struggle over the other side of the world where you have no job and blazing sunshine'. Well it fucking is! I had no idea how tough it could be travelling alone, getting up in the morning and wanting to speak to friends or family, but not being able to because you know they're asleep and most likely have work in the morning. Rough day, but speaking to my ma and bro helped. Oh and the massive glass of Shiraz I had at a water front bar may have cheered me up a little.

ANYWAY, here are some delightful pictures for you to feast your eyes upon!
