This was sot of a filler day where we were just trying to get as close to Exmouth as we could in a day. So the only real exciting things were 1) staying at a free campsite which had WiFi, and 2) having cattle surround our tent overnight chomping on grass and whatnot.
Day 13: Robe River to Exmouth (should have been 4 hours...ended up like 6)
This day was....hectic to say the least. We woke up freezing in our wee little tent, so we turned the heat on in the car as soon as we could. Unfortunately we discovered later that this was a bad decision. About 20 minutes down the road our car died. We were stuck on the side of the road about halfway (1.5 hours) between 2 different towns. We popped the hood of course and tried to figure out what was up, but the oil and everythign was looking good. So we decided to try a mechanic and tow trucks. Called the Aussie version of AAA, couldn't help us. Called operators and mechanics, find out it's a public holiday, it will cost $1000 for us to get towed to the nearest town Karratha. Luckily Bessie magically starts up and we start heading to Karratha (back from where we want to be) to make our costs less. About an hour into this we decide maybe we should just try and go to Exmouth, and if we get stuck at a rest stop in between, at least we'll be closer to where we want to be. She runs great the rest of the way, even though we ran out of music and our phones both almost died (Mine was already dead).
Finally after the insanity we get to Exmouth in pretty good time, wander around town, grab some food and get set up at the caravan park before passing out for the evening.
Day 14: EXMOUTH
This was legitimately my favorite day of the trip. We woke up early and got picked up to go on a snorkeling tour in Ningaloo Reef. Highlights of the day:
1. Swimming with WHALE SHARKS. (check the pics here)
2. Swimming with Manta Rays
3. Giant Sea Turtle
4. Swam over a proper shark
5. On a boat all day
6. Free trial dive (my second one) it was AMAZING.
After heading back to the caravan park, we chilled then got ready to go to a pub quiz with some of the crew from the boat then headed back to hang out with them for the evening. Sidenote. The Quiz master decided to do a party trick after the quiz and did a handstand on the wall here he then sculled 2 glasses of rum and coke. His daughter (who was like 10) was unimpressed and told him to hurry up.
Such a hilarious and wonderful day...that we weren't even sure was going to happen the day before.
Day 15: Exmouth to Monkey Mia (7 hours)
Nothing exciting,....just a driving day. BUT Monkey Mia had an AWESOME sunset and we got to have ribs. So, not a bad day.
Day 16: Monkey Mia to Dongara (5 hours)
Woke up early this AM to watch a dolphin feeding!=] 
Well, unfortunately after an awesome morning of watching wild dolphins come up super close to us, our car broke down about ten minutes outside Monkey Mia. Luckily, a bigger town called Denham was not too far away so we got a tow pretty quickly. That's where we are as I right this. Let's hope this baby starts working! ANNNNDDD she did. So off we were...$300 lighter towards Perth. Ended up sleeping in the car at a rest stop to make up time....oh the adventures.
Day 17: Dongara to Perth (4 hours)
SO after getting up early and ready to hit the road...we got about 20 minutes outside Dongara before our car stalled out again. LUCKILY we are expert mechanics at this point and were able to fix Bessie up with some blue (gum) tack and she was right for the rest of the journey. Somewhat unfortunate given the $300 we spent the day before...but we're in Fremont loving life...so well done blue tack. Sadly though, we sent the day preparing for our trip to end by packing up our bags for the most part, putting up the tent for the last time, and putting up ads at hostels to sell the camping gear and car. It's starting to feel real...and it's the worst. We even had to say goodbye to our SANGRIA pitcher!
DAY 18: PERTH
Jokes aside, it was so sad to see Meg leave today! We had an awesome day of running around Perth going to an art museum, meeting up with a girl she knew from home and getting a tour of the graffiti of Perth from HER friend. So overall a really cool day! But, seeing as Meg and I have been living and working together for the past 3 months and then constantly together for the past 3 weeks...its strange to part ways. I'm definitely excited for this next leg of the journey...but praying hard that I can make it to my next job without too much stress. So here goes!
