the last few days have been a bit of a rollercoaster in terms of our plans lol. we dropped the cars off to the mechanic on thursday, thinking they would be ready friday and we would hit the road to margaret river, about 4 hours south of perth. well, it's tuesday and the cars are still in the shop oooops! lol we stayed in the hostel until sunday morning, and then bry's friend anthony who we had been hanging out with the last few days and helping us out with the cars, said we could crash at his place. we were going to go out surfing on sunday but the weather was awful so we went board shopping instead. didn't find anything, but his friend who owns a surf shop helped me out with a wetsuit and i got a sick one for 100 bucks so i'm super excited!
bry found a board on gumtree for 50 it was all dinged up and stuff, she bargained it down to 30 and when we went to pick it up, she only had 28 in change so we got it for 28 dollars and walked it all the way back to the hostel at 7pm at night omg what a sight we were! it was hilarious. we've been doing some sanding on it and anthony has been patching up the dings with a fibreglass repair kit, and now it's basically good as new! she wants to spray paint it pink and do some cool designs on it when we get to margs. this board is going to look unreal! we also found a guy on gumtree in margs who is selling a ton of old boards and he said he would help me out to get a 7 or 8 foot mini mal when we get there. i'm SO SO excited to get in the water! there is a massive swell coming in next weekend and the waves are going to be 15-27 feet so it is going to be unreal to watch!
as of right now, we are homeless staying at anthony's house, waiting for our cars, and there are 3 people wanting rideshares to margs today or tomorrow (most likely tomorrow) so we will get to split on gas with that which is awesome! gas is about 1.43 per litre here so its a bit crazy. it cost me over 90 to fill up my tank! anyways yes, i'm just so happy to be here, loving life. i still have money but definitely need to start working soon haha i'm sort of staying warm (its so dang cold here!) and i'm eating fruits and vegetables mom, don't worry!
missing you all, thinking about you everyday! <3 lots of love and warm blankets!!! haha
