Rail
It is just one of those Sunday evenings where you find yourself bored and without any thing to do. I know that tomorrow I will be sitting for my Biology exam, the first paper I've ever sat in University and yet I'm still nonchalant about it. Not that I'm lazy or anything, perhaps merely because I have been toiling in the past several days that any references to Mitochondria and Haemopoietic Stem Cells will send me into fits
The internet is back on at full 2mbps again. They have reset the counter for this month so we are no longer capped. Funny how these Australian people make us pay $80 for the internet and only allow us 25GB download per month, after which the connection effectively drops to 64kbps. It would be fine if the line was my own but I'm sharing it with five other dickheads who can't get enough of porn or mp3's; the other five computers in the house have Bittorrent and eMule actively grabbing packets of data from all around the world to satisfy these people's insatiable appetite for piracy.
Needless to say, we are back on broadband speed but just like every other month the line will be capped again within 2 weeks because these bastards can't stop downloading.
So while the broadband is still running I've been looking up holidays and a couple of interesting places to visit while I'm in Australia and then I came across the Indian Pacific Railway that goes across the Australian continent from Sydney to Perth and vice versa.
It earns its name from the fact that you will be traveling a total distance of 4352km from the Pacific Ocean in the East, to the Indian Ocean in the West. There is also a straight section of rail through the Nullarbor Plain that runs for 478km, the longest straight stretch of rail in the world.
The price, $1690, includes all meals and a bunk bed with en-suite bathroom facilities, full views of the Australian Outback, Blue Mountains and all sorts of different geographical features characteristic of the Australian landscape, and above all, stops at selected cities such as Adelaide and Cook which is really just a dusty town right in the centre of the Nullarbor Plain.
Then I thought how nice it would be to have someone to go with. Someone whom I can hug and hold the whole way, spend the night with in that cosy little bunk eating scones and hot chocolate, someone to sit opposite me as we dine on smoked salmon and red wine with the vast expanse of the Outback flashing across the windows of the dining cabin on either side…
How nice it would be if I had a boyfriend to take along to this trip, to explore the cities of Adelaide and Perth at our own leisurely pace without a thought or care of the rest of world. Every time I think about it I feel warm inside, that feeling of having that experience with someone you love just melts you
I'm determined to get someone to go with me because doing it all alone just isn't worth it.
I hope that I'll be able to save up enough money for this trip and I hope that the person I have in mind will go with me.
