Speed Demon


I am writing from Geraldton, WA, after having gotten a $150 speeding ticket for going 125 in a 110 zone. My excuse is that I very dearly had to go to the bathroom after drinking coffee and a litre of water and was trying to make it to town before I exploded. Of course things took much longer when I got pulled over. I was half-thinking that maybe the officers would just let me go if they saw that I had wet my pants, but then I thought of the deductible on the rental car and changed my mind. I am really annoyed though because I had been being really frugal, sleeping in either my tent or the car for the past couple days so I could splurge and get a cheap hotel room here in Geraldton, but with the $150 ticket, which is equivalent to a whole week of hostel fees, looks like it's the back seat of the Toyota again. Arrrrgggh!!!!



I haven't had a chance to upload photos since I got here so lets give it a go:







Famous Santa Monica Pier




Glorious sunshine!!! (pre-sunburn)



Just after I took this shot, an honest to god Ferrari drove by- very posh.

I can't figure out how to rotate this sucker, but you get the idea.
I will load some actual Australia pictures next time! Got to keep you wanting more, you know.
