<-- my life, by webgoddesscathy --> :: Friday, March 12, 2004 :: PS: Happy Birthday David! :: Cathy 2:50 AM [+] :: 0 comments Went on a sunset wine tour of the Swan Valley last night. It was great! We visited 3 wineries, including cheese tasting at one of them and a full gourmet meal at another and finished up at a microbrewery (ya, didn't like that part since I hate beer). I've decided I really like Chenin Blanc. Quite fruity and sweet, but I'm a sucker for bad wine, I guess. Meeting Jaap for dinner tonight. It'll be SO good to see him again! Unfortunately, despite any plans we might have had for travelling together here in WA, it looks like it's not going to happen! Jan and Mike, Natalie and I are picking up our rental car tomorrow morning and heading down the southwest coast. It's really quite cheap for us to get a rental ($70 each for the week, plus fuel). We might be gone for a week or 4 days, depending on how well we all get along. This could very well be an issue. Mike is a say-anything typical English guy taking a break from work (engineering). Shameful... but hilarious, especially when him and Jan get going. Jan and him met up on their trip around Uluru. An odd "couple", Jan (on break after high school) is probably the tallest Dutch guy I've ever met (and I know many tall Dutch guys) and the two of them are always taking the piss out of each other. Nat (a nurse from the UK) has been travelling around the world and arrived in Perth after her adventure in South Africa. As of right now we all get along really well, so it should be a good laugh. But just wait until we've all spent 7 day/wk, 24-hrs/day together... If you don't hear from me, don't worry. I'm safe. As long as Mike hasn't crashed the car yet. Or killed Jan yet. :: Cathy 2:36 AM [+] :: 0 comments :: Wednesday, March 10, 2004 :: Hey, check out what nice things my friend Emilie wrote about my blog on her website! :: Cathy 1:07 AM [+] :: 0 comments Still trying to get through the avalanche of emails that arrived during my absence. It's funny that so many people were worried about me... gues that goes to show how good I am at staying in touch with people. I even had an argument with David that I wasn't obvious enough that I was going to be away for an extended period of time. Goodness! Well, I guess I didn't talk about the stuff that I did on the tour. Some of the highlights include: Tonight, I'm off with said new friends on the drink AGAIN. They're such a bad influence on me! :: Cathy 12:30 AM [+] :: 0 comments :: Tuesday, March 09, 2004 :: Well the weather in Perth is back to normal. It's 27 degrees and sunny today. I've been allowed back into my email account again, so I'm TRYING to get through all my emails and respond if I can. But I only have so much time and patience to spend in an un-airconditioned web cafe. Also, Jan (pronounced "yahn" - from the RedEarth tour) is getting bored and will want to leave soon. Was surprised that my mom was so worried about me. No contact with me for 8 days, though... I suppose that would be a worry, especially with the cyclone/flooding warnings and the fact that I'd been so sick. Bless her for loving me that much. I'm sorry I worried her, though. Now I'm in Perth for a week or so. Jaap will be arriving in Perth on Friday, so I'll be meeting him and then taking off shortly afterwards for the southwest coast of Western Australia. Tonight, I'm off to a BBQ with one of the girls from the RedEarth tour I just finished. Should be fun. :: Cathy 1:04 AM [+] :: 0 comments :: Sunday, March 07, 2004 :: Back from my tour but having problems with my email at the moment. We came close to driving into a cyclone up north, but thankfully missed it. The weather in Exmouth was HOTHOTHOT and the flies were probably the most annoying things on the face of the planet. I swallowed several. (Kill them. God. Please. Kill all the flies.) Otherwise, it was a fantastic tour, although there were a few dramas with Dave, the tourguide. He was a riot though. A right Aussie through and through. eg: Now I'm back in Perth for a while, staying at the Witch's Hat again. Not sure how long. At some stage I do want to head to the south west. We'll see. :: Cathy 11:10 PM [+] :: 0 comments
