Today we decided to go for a walk in Noosa national park... It was like walking in the jungle at first and the air was so muggy that it made me feel really tired!! We did a route called Alexandria and it goes through Alexandria bay which is usually a nudist beach but because the weathers been so awful it was empty!! Then we went to a place called hells gates, which was a steep cliff which curved round and looks like the gates of hell, I guess. It was really pret...

So after crawling out my bed at 530am, I got on the 630 bus and saw Nick a German guy who was on my surf lesson and it turned out he'd booked into the same hostel in Noosa so at least I'd know somebody there. The bus journey was sooo boring, I slept a little bit but usually the drivers will put a film on, but this driver was the most miserable man and didn't put one on for the entire ten hour bus!!! So, instead I just read more of the hunger games (which i've c...

I got to 1770 and was feeling a bit anxious as the hostel I was staying at had the best reviews but also has complaints about the manager.

I ended up in a room with Bella, a German girl from the bus I'd been on, and we arranged to meet at the library later on as they ...

The next day we sailed out to a really quiet bay where the snorkelling was really good and fishes came right up to you. But, as I'd been snorkelling in the great barrier reef and I was shamefully stuck very hard into a book I was reading I decided to stay on the boat and sunbathe while the sun was out. After snorkelling, we all ate dinner and then it was time to head back to Airlie beach. The sea was really rough again and again it consisted of me nearly slidin...
