The train ride was a tiring one, even though we slept for most of it! We partied hard our last night in Sydney! Ha ha, almost pulled an all-nighter! It was really fun! We meet a bunch of people in the hostel and all decided to go to the Gaff (a bar) and we didn’t leave there till like 3 in the morning and the streets were still so alive with people everywhere! It was crazy!! We ended up getting lost trying to find our way back to the hostel. Which wasn’t our fault either! The guys thought they new which way to go so we were following them until I saw a map and realized it was the exact opposite way that we wanted to go… so typical of men. Lol when we finally go to our hostel it was 5 in the morning we tried as hard as we could to stay awake cuz we knew that if we were to fall asleep we wouldn’t wake back up, especially since we didn’t have an alarm. We tried watching some tv but the guys jus found stupid things to watch like sponge bob, an other boring shows so we were pretty much falling asleep in the tv room, so we decided to go up to our room, an we crashed for about an hour an a half haha, it kinda sucked but at least we got a lil bit of sleep to give us some energy! After we slept on the train we had to get off an find where our bus was. It was only a two hour ride to where we needed to be, the ride was amazing and horrible depending on who you asked! Poor Catie had motion sickness the whole ride and was just praying for it to be over! Becky on the other hand had a blast on it, an saw wild kangaroos!! She tried to show me but I didn’t want to open my eyes. When we finally got there, it was pretty much dark an we had to carry our bags to the hotel thingy where we stayed for a night before we left for the ranch. It was a terrifying walk, like ones you see in scary movies! There was hardly any street lights and just as we started walking a dog barked out of no where and scared me (Becky) half to death! Finally we found the motel and of course there were spider webs everywhere in it!! Omg! An then beck found actual spiders above the door of the bathroom an in the corners of the ceiling, haha it was horrible for us, an only for us! None of the other girls are really scared of spiders like we are! It nuts! But I’m tryin not to be as afraid as I usually am, seeing as I can’t really help it! So I have to accept that they are going to be everywhere, an not think about it! Especially when we’re going to sleep! Haha oh dear! Its amazing how catie can think like that!! Me(becky) I have been terrified of these damn spiders!!! Stupid things!!
There was 8 other girls here with us, 3 Swedish girls, 3 Dutch, 2 German, and us 2 Canadians! And the owner dude, his name in John, an he is really kewl! An very nice and pretty much the first Australian we’ve met! When we woke up we were taken into town which it like a 2 minute walk from where we were haha. We were told to get long sleeve shirts for the ranch so you didn’t get sun burnt!
When we finally go the ranch we got our first lesson on how to us a whip!!! None of us were good at it!! But it was so cool to try. The girls teaching us made it look so easy!! We were determined to get it by the end of the week! Then we all jumped into the back of the truck and rounded up the horses. Its cool we just spread out and heard the horses in the direction we want them to go! Once we had them we were taught how to put bridle on the horses and we learned how to saddle them ourselves. An every time we ride we have to have a helmet on (which I have no problem with haha) then John taught an “walked us” through of how to ride them when trotting an galloping, it was crazy fun!! We have so many pictures! :D funny enough Catie’s horse was named Katie! And Becky’s horse was named hazel, which was pregnant and very hormonal!! Don’t mess with hazel!!!! We believe John put Catie on Katie so he could remember her name better!! Smart guy! And there are also two girls that stay on the ranch that help john they are very nice!!
