I have 3 hours before my coach leaves and the nice lady at the hostel reception has let me use the internet.
My trip has been really great so far. I travelled the south west part of Australia and it is really beautiful and so different to any other part of Australia I have seen. I have been on some stunning walks along the ocean, in forest with all the lovely wild flowers and then yesterday in the valley of the giants with hugely tall trees. I carry along the south coast for the next few days till I get to a place called Esperance and then I go inland to where I can pick up the train to Sydney. The train should be interesting, it takes 3 days!
The only thing is being on my own so much, it is driving me a little mad. It is *really* hard. I know the end is in sight but it is coming up to 3 weeks now with no meaningful company and that is not good for anyone.
I miss Joe, who hasn't been in touch at all, even though I sent him an email which I know I probably shouldn't have done. Well, I know that says it all and that he doesn't deserve me missing him but perhaps it is because of the aloneness thing heightens all my thoughts. When I get to Sydney I will know two people from Port Douglas so I hope that should get me started with meeting people and making connections again. Also, I need to find a job asap as I am unbelievably broke.
