Holmes & Anderson - The Solicitors!

G'day Yall!!

Firstly I must apologise for taking so long to update my blog - I know lots of you have told me you've been checking it regularly and nothing has changed! We have been soooo hectic and haven't had a chance to sit down and tell everyone what we've been up to!
Secondly...I must aplogisise for the fact this is going to be a short blog! I have a stinking headache which hasn't cleared all day and we have a 19 hour bus journey tonight (yuck!) so the less time spent on the computer, the better i think!
Today we are in Coral Bay, WA. I hired some snorkelling gear & went and took some underwater photos of some huge fish! (before I freaked out and did some sunbathing instead!) Ceri got some good photos of me in the water so we will get them uploaded asap!
Before that, we spent 5 days in Monkey Mia - which was abosolutely stunning & by far the nicest place we have been yet! On one of the days, the temperature soared to 40 degrees which was a bit much! We had the added bonus of going down to the beach each morning (which took 2 seconds as it was literally on our doorstep!) and watching the dolphins get fed! :o)
Since we have arrived in Australia, we have been on a mini tour around Perth, Busselton, Margaret River, Pemberton, Albany, Denmark etc etc etc! This included wine, cheese and chocolate tasting, seeing lots of "look-out points" and generally stopping at all the touristy bits along the way! Me & Ceri then spent about a week in Perth and actually managed to walk around Perth and Northbridge TWICE! This wasn't on purpose...we were looking for a bed for the night!! (get the violins out now... haha!)
During that time we nipped down to Cottesloe for a couple of nights which was a lovely little seaside town but not a lot was happening! We then went back to Perth and met up with Nina's brother Edward who is out here & had a good night out with him!
From Perth, we were due to stopover at Geraldton for a couple of days but after the driver told us he was heading to Monkey Mia after, we changed our plans and stayed on the coach! This meant we ended up staying at Monkey Mia for 5 days which was beautiful! We then headed straight to Coral Bay (where we are now) and arrived at 2.30am! We entered our shared dorm to a rather old, interesting character waving at us from his bed....what a treat!! Luckily we only had a few hours sleep - which was actually shortened by the blissful noise of diggers that woke us up at 8am :o) Nevertheless, the beach is stunning so we quickly got ready and spent the day down there!!

I will try to update my blog on a more regular basis as it is so hard to reply to everyone's emails all the time....
It's great to hear what you're all up to so definitely keep me posted! I can't believe Katie Price went back into the jungle? and FINALLY Jedward are out of X Factor? hurrah!!!!!! :oP
Speak to you all really soon, look forward to hearing from you all!
Lots of love, Rachel xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

p.s according to the coach drivers, Holmes & Anderson is the perfect sounding solicitor firm - so we are going into business!! :P
