After a long, boring 7hr drive from Exmouth we finally arrived at Karratha but had we known what was in store we would have booked a room!!! After trying every backpackers, motel, hotel, campsite there was in the town we resided to the fact that we would probably be sleeping in the car again. Then we stumbled across a campsite we hadnt tried but again, yes you've guessed it, they had no vacancies either but they did however 'know someone that knows someone' that may have a room. The dear little couple rang around and managed to find us the only motel room left in the whole town albit a oil workers motel! We were told it was $220 a night (were used to paying $22 a night) so that came as a bit of a shock to which we both said we will sleep in the car. I was passed onto the phone to speak with the motel owner and she asked how much we could afford so i said we onyl had $170 between to which she said she would give it to us for $160! So with that as a bit of a result we set off to find this motel on an indutrial area 10kms outside town (baring in mind we have no tail lights so slightly illigal). We made it to the Motel and checked in only to discover we were the only women there and from the reaction we got it looked like we were the first women there in a very long time! As we came out the reception area and gun went off and then a group of middle aged men just screamed with laughter as we jumped out of our bloody skin! In the end the guys from the motel turned out to be ok. We settled into our room (which was lovely.) and went to sleep early (AGAIN!) ready for yet another long journey from karratha to Broome in the morning.
