Day 57 Leaving Airlie

3rd December 2008

Leaving Airlie

Day 57

Managed to pay the cash into the hostels bank account, thank God.

Chilled out all day with Whitney and Sean. We played cards for hours, even played UNO with a standard pack of cards. It can be done.

My Hreyhound bus was at 8pm. Whitney and I are getting the same bus to Cairns. It's only a 10 hour drive.

Day 56 ARGH!

2nd December 2008

ARGH!

Day 56

Oh my God it's so stressful! My booking for the accommodation I'm staying at in Sydney fir Christmas and New Year may have been cancelled. While I was out on the boat, the transaction did not go through properly. I booked it in September but they take the money out on 1st Decemver. There have been a million (about 6) problems today with the whole paying thing. Not going to go into each problem but there were loads! Now I have to take the cash to the National Bank of Australia and pay it into the hostels bank account tomorrow. Hopefully it will all be ok.

Day 53 Ill

29th November 2008

Ill

Day 53

Not feeling too well today. Everyone went to the lagoon and I stayed in the hostel. God I felt ill. I had drunk some goon last night but only a little - it doesn't matter though as goon is evil. It made me feel ill. Evil, evil goon.

Most people in the room stayed in this evening due to being sick of drinking or early departures in the morning. There's a tv in the room so we watched Jurassic Park and Team America.

Day 52 Walking around Airlie

Walking around Airlie

Day 52

Tom and I walked to Coles (a supermarket like Tesco). It took quite a while and was so humid that when we got there, the air conditioning was like a God send. Spent quite a while in there just walking around.

We played the longest game of 'would you rather' on the way back to the hostel with questions like 'would you rather have human size chicken feet or chicken size human feet?'. Obviously it would be human size chicken feet, I think so anyway.

Day 51 Airlie Beach

27th November 2008

Airlie Beach

Day 51

Got to Airlie Beach at 6am. Not able to check into the hostel until 12pm so had a walk around for a while then went back to the hostel and fell asleep on a bench like a tramp.

Chilled out in Airlie and went to some bars with Tom and JD, who are staying in my room.

Left a bar at 1:30am (I'd been on diet cokes after still not being able to drink alcohol since Fraser Island) and went for a swim in the lagoon til 4:30am, which was so cool.
