Dear Outside World,

We miss you, we really do and we look forward to our return only 2 and half short months from now.

We’ve arrived in Dampier and been here for a few days now. I have finally found a weak wireless connection however facebook and hotmail is blocked. I never thought that I would see this day, the day where I am forced to go without facebook and hotmail. Wow addicted much?

We wish that we could describe to you the heat here. Hannah made an attempt today and she said that imagine the hottest hottest day of the summer and imagine sitting in the sun for 12 hours straight, with no wind and not being able to cool yourself down…that’s how we feel the instant we go outside. And I’m not exaggerating at all. It’s well over 40 degrees every day. It’s going to be weird to go outside and find 30 degrees cool. I never thought that would happen to me.

I also never thought that I would be able to say that I have lived in a desert, but now I can. When we got here I was a bit scared. It’s a dive, but now that we are working it’s not so bad. We will be making over a grand every two weeks so I can’t complain because that’s a lot of money. I don’t think that we’ll be swimming in the ocean until we get back down to Perth or to the East Coast. There is a beach here but the water just seems kind of gross and it’s right near the mine which also weirds me out because how much stuff do they dump into here.

Each room that we’re staying in has a cyclone kit. And if a cold front comes down from the north they’re be a cyclone. Someone said it will probably happen at least once while we are here. I didn’t ever thing I would be able to say that we had experienced a cyclone either. Scary.

There’s a café a short way away where we can use the internet and will have facebook and hotmail so we’ll go and check that every now and then. Feel free to send messages of encouragement. We’ll need it.

I’ll update soon and maybe post some photos of where we are staying. It’s in Dampier, which is north on the coast in a tiny town with not a whole lot going on, which is good because then we can’t spend our money.

We miss you world and will try and stay in touch.
XOXO
