Hiyaz hope your all good...we made it to Bali, just!
I read the e-ticket wrong & thought the boarding time do by limit was the check in time do by limit. Then Perth traffic & roads suck, they really do. Not only is the infrastructure insufficient to meet the needs of the population explosion, important waypoints are not signposted well. Like you'll be just passing a turn off on a highway & then notice a little sign letting you know you should have got off & your now locked in to driving off down the road without a clue on what to do.
We got into Perth heading North at 5:30am & there is already a traffic jam taking precious time away, then we got lost just trying to hop off the highway to get to the international airport. My missus has broken into tears of frustration & fear that we're gonna miss our plane. Somehow we find our way to the airport with a vague idea of where it is, not from any help from any non existent signsposts. Some kinda construction means I can't drop the missis off with 3 boards & 2 suitacses at the door but luckily a very cool airport staff dude gives her a hand while I park the car down the road & catch a bus back. I get there at 7:10, 20 mins after the check in counter was supposed to close. Garuda are awesome, doubt other airlines would have waited. No ques at customs, running towards the gate, we get there as the last few peole are hopping on. I turn to the missus & say,'well its awesome how we havn't had to do any waiting". She just punches me in the arm lol
Surf has been small the last 2 days with the occasional head high wave. But not many out on the reef I've been surfing. Gonna try & get pics from Sunday onwards when the swell more than doubles. Bit hard coz I'm just surfing the outa reefs this trip, gonna buy a bumbag & take my waterproof cam to try & get a bit of video/pics.
Cheers
