After flying for more than 5 (!) Hours from Cairns to Perth I finally arrived at the other end of Australia at 1:30am.
When arriving in the city center at around 2:30am my first unpleasant surprise was that the hostel I had booked was closed and the receptionist did not open the door as promised, even after calling the office around a 100 times. So all I had left was to wander around town, call hostels and hope to find some place that is open at this time of the night.
After checking out 3 hotels that were completely booked and calling 5 hostels that were either closed or full, I gave in to my destiny and sat down on a bench were I was to stay for the next five hours.
Then I remembered the booklet I had picked up from the airport and decided to give it a last shot. The brand new YHA was not listed in the lonely planet, that’s why I hadn`t found it earlier. With a 24 hour check-in and a dorm bed available I finally fell into bed at 4 am.
Fortune had come back to me!
