THE GREAT ESCAPE!
well i have some news.............. we are now back in perth! thank god!
two nights ago we ran away from mount magnet ...........if you have ever seen that film 'the midnight express' you will have some idea of what happened!
during a particularly stressful day in which tiffany declared to me,
'i hate them, i hate them all'
............we decided we really wanted to leave! (plus we had just been paid so we wouldn't be losing any money!)so, we packed our bags and spent the afternoon trying to find a lift to perth. unfortunately it seemed to be the one day that no-one was heading in that direction! we resigned ourselves to staying another week and tiffany headed off to her evening shift behind the bar. However, by about 11pm my sisterly/GI Jane instinct kicked in and i realised that i had to get us out of there by hook or by crook..................or by truckie!
i headed off to the local roadhouse with a couple of guys from the pub and as fate would have it there were a couple of guys finishing their meal bfore heading down to perth! after a quick safety assessment i decided it was now or never. we had 15 minutes to get to the pub, secretly get our bags out and get tiffany out from the bar!
..............I will never forget the look on her face when i walked into the pub, asked for her room key and told her we were leaving in 5 mins!
anyway, we all know what guys are like .......they all want to be james bond at some point in their lives........(plus it was the most excitement they had ever seen in mount magnet!) so, we had one guy sprinting to the cabins with me to get the bags, and another keeping the pub owner and his daughter occupied. 10 mins later our bags were loaded on this monster truck across from the pub..............and when everything was in place i went and got tiffany.
i tell you...........we should be in the movies! we walked out of there so calmly as if nothing was going on.....................but when we got out of the door i don't thing i have ever run so fast! i was soooo scared and excited, and it was all so crazy!
hopefully you have realised by now that we didnt tell our boss we wereleaving! anyway i would love to have been a fly on the wall! just imagine people asking for drinks at the bar.........'where's the barmaid gone'? ha ha!................little do you know we are squashed in the back of a truck on the way to perth!! they were probably going mad when they realised we had disappeared! oh well!
anyway.............we got to perth at about 5am in the morning and headed straight to a hostel for a couple pf hours sleep! we have spent the last two days with my mum and breeze eating mexican food, drinking cocktails and shopping!!!
we are heading off for some sun and sand in the next couple of days and we are going to meet up with Janine, my old travelling buddy which will be awesome! so...............i will keep you updated!
anyway i will just say....................this is what travelling is all about! if i wanted an experience to talk about for the rest of my life....i just had it!
so all i can say now is......................'up yours mount manget losers! haaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! see ya!!!!
