A lot can happen in 6 days...

Apologies Sheepies! I have been having too much fun to blog BUT enough fun to constantly ‘check-in’, ‘status-update’ and photo upload parts of my Perth trip - how annoying for everyone!

Oh hey SHEEPIES! You’re looking fine! So fine indeed! I’m fine too thanks! I’m fresh! Yes, fresh as after an amazing fun filled holiday!!!

A lot happened while I was away…

I came home too my cat who has a scratched face. I came to the conclusion Ma must have knifed my cat. I’m gone 6 days and my cat is lucky to be alive! 
On another note my squash (plant) has tripled in size (for real, literally more than doubled) along with my watermelon. Yeah I can wait to eat that melon…

There was another big change! There was a fresh lasagne in the fridge. So I decided to forgive my Ma for knifing my cat by eating her lasagne.

Moving on…So Perth was hella fun (imagine me saying that in an American accent and far too much energy). The streets were littered with stunning males wearing my favourite sunglasses and there limited white glasses. WOOHOO hello ladies!!! They were tanned, laidback as and oh so sexy!

And then there were a lot of Irish. I haven’t met a lot of Irish people but we met a whole lot Saturday night, some of my girls met them a whole lot better than I did! What I have learnt about Irish men… Nothing! I have concluded nothing as I couldn’t understand a word they said. I just found myself sitting there nodding. Nodding to what, I do not know. I could have agreed to sell an organ on the black market for all I know. Actually one thing I learnt. All Irish people are not pale and have red hair.

 I love meeting new people and making new friends. I have found a new place to do this. Holidays are perfect for making temporary friends, just what’s needed in a non familiar setting! Three of us went to Perth; Friend-A, Friend-B and Friend-Me, yeah I should probably be a rapper because I’m good at rhyming and I believe I have the ‘swagger.’

…So Friend-A and I stayed in a hostel the last night we were in Perth (should have been Friend-Bs last night too… if she caught her flight, a tough way to spend an extra $368). Friend-A and I met two Norwegians! Young boys, lovely young boys! Showed us somewhat around Perth. How funny to Norwegians showing us around our own country giving us a tour – to our credit they’d been there for 3 weeks and we only 2 days! Turned into a ripper day/night; drinking cider on Cottesloe beach and watching ladies get naked and running around under lights. I preferred the cider and the beach part most of all. Oh and the Scandinavian and Alabama company!

Yes we met a lovely American. One of the first things I asked him is whether he had a visor. I had to explain I meant a hat with the top cut off. He said he did but it got lost on the plane. Have you guys ever noticed Americans always travel with a visor? Because they totally do. All the American tourists I’ve met do (okay so I just met this one guy but he said yes so 100% of Americans I’ve met wear a visor on travels). I could probably write a Lonely Planet with all this cultural knowledge I’ve accumulated.

Oh and how cool are these visor sunnies!

Visor Sunnies. Awesome!

RACHEL METELMANN'S LONELY PLANET GUIDE;

1. Irish people aren’t always pale with red hair
2. Tourists with visors are Americans
3.  Perthian’s ARE hot…mmm.
4. Norway is very cold
5. Never take up an offer to hitch a ride in Norway (hitchhiking is a NO, NO!)

I’m sure I’ll have more facts when I think a bit harder. I always have a lot of irrelevant information.

Oh and one last thing I should be getting 2,000 views. So go fuck yourself 1,999 views!
