Australian Road Trip.
After Uni I fucked off round the world on my own for 9 months, pitching up in Perth, Australia 6 months in, I hooked up with three guys in a hostel amd we decided to hire a camper and head off to Brisbane. Biggest mistake of my life. You think that you get to know people, sharing a dorm, but it is nothing compared to the things you learn when stuck in a camper for the best part of 2,500 miles. I should have known things weren't going to go well when we got in the van and found a CD stuck in the CD player so literally all we had to listen to was that bloody 'I bless the rains down in Africa' song. The name of the band escapes me, sorry. After the first 200 miles ofr that I was already fit to kill. It wasn't helped by the scruffy bloke we'd nicknamed 'Wurzel' taking his turn at map reading. Christ we got lost, but what do you expect when you're being told to "turn left ahead and head west" when left would take us east. What sort of brainless moron tries to tell you to go two directions at once? Still, at least he was an OK guy and I probably miss him more than I do the other two pieces of work.

One guy I realised I was never going to get on with when I got news halfway across the country that my Aunt Emeline had died. I was pretty upset, but all he said was 'at least you haven't got to go to a dull funeral'. Heartless fucker. Although even he was preferable to Leo, the last of our group. The night we stopped in some dusty mining town and got set upon by some locals, the other two at least stood by me as we took our beatings. Leo was hiding under the pool table in tears, fucking coward.

So, yeah, that's my road trip.

Edit: I looked up that 'Africa' song. Apparently our trip across Oz was accompanied by Toto.

You're lucky!
Last time I went to Brisbane some hag and her chimp faced boyfriend stole my shoes.

Last time I went I hired a very classy and expensive prostitute. So classy and expensive the bitch gave me lobsters.
