Hey guys not sure whats been going on here, every time I have tried to update this thing the computer crashes or I run out of free minutes or something so im not sure if any of the blogs I've written on here are even on but you can see it all again if its already up!

So, wed - me and laura (laura and I, mum) got the MRT to the airport to get to brisbane - we had to carry our extreemly heavy luggage around for 15 minutes to get to the MRT station and because it was just before 6 that we got on the MRT, people were going home from work and it was majorily busy! So we had to stand the whole way with our rucksacks on our backs! It was not good - very painful. anyhoo, we got to the airport with not too much trouble and then got the plane to Brisbane. I hardly slept at all! I was not a pleasant flight, the old woman sat next to me kept pushing me off the armrest and then picking up my food and smelling it and shoving it under her husbands nose so they could decide if they wanted what i had or have the other option! ewwwwwww.

Thurs - So we got off the plane and what a suprise it was raining!!! We found out later that there had been a massive storm the night before but the day got nicer so we didn't complain much. OOOO I got sniffed by the sniffer dog! Must have a dodgy look about me or something. In the airport me and laura met Katie, Jack and Will and Geoff (who was our pick up guy who showed us around a bit and took us to the hostel). We then had to go to the next terminal and get Andy and Dan, then on to the train station to get Sian and Chris. Everyone got on great and we were just going to be waiting for Stuart who was going to be arriving on friday. No one was sure if Jay was going to be joining us or not - I'd been chatting to him on facebook and he said that he'd been in hospital in Thailand for a week so was not sure if was going to make it or not. Arrived at the hostel and did a double take because Jay was sat there in the reception internet area. Apparently he had been speared by an Elephant (For those of you that know my dislike of elephants after that one tried to drown me in Indonesia all I can say is I told you they were evil!!) so he had a hole in his chest and 20 stitches that were meant to come out when we start the training. Anyway we dumped all are stuff in the rooms and then went into the centre to get visa stuff, medicare and phone stuff sorted. I do have a new aussie number and I will put it up here when I have my phone on me but I dont have it at the moment. Geoff left us here and we went had a bit of a look around and then got the bus back to the hostle so we could have a shower and get settled into the room. At about 4pm over here we went to get some tea as no one had eaten since getting off the plane which was at 7 that morning. We got some pizza as that was all we could be bothered with and then went back to the hostel to have a few drinks. Turned into the funniest night - played drinking games and found out a lot of information about people that probably shouldn't have been shared after only meeting that morning! needless to say, we were in bed by 9!

Friday - We got woken up at 6 in the morning by a bunch of school kids that are here on some trip. they were playing the whistle song at 6 in the morning and banging on doors getting them all up. we were not impressed as we were still shattered from the day before. So we got up -not that we had a choice so we went for breakfast and then decided what we were going to do that day and for the rest of the weekend. Some of the boys wanted to go to the zoo on sat morning and the rest of us wanted to go to this water park (no point in seeing 2 zoos in the space of about 5 days) but we all want to go to Fraser Island for a couple of days so were thinking of doing that straight after the training ranch and then working just after. We then went into town to have a look around and get some essentials, like flipflops and new clothes! We walked along the river front to see the man made beach but it turned out to be a building site as they're redoing it all. Walked into town, saw a big lizzard thing and then the shopping began. Had lunch in town and then caught the bus back to the hostel. Went in the pool when we got back as we were all prepared to go on the beach so were already in bikinis and swimming shorts. Mooched around a bit and then went to get some supplies from the supermarket. Finally when we got back to the hostel we met the new guy Stewart (who is a big version of scott - its actually really scary) whos nice and then we went to get some tea - new guy included but minus andy (who was off in some bar proping it up) Jay (who had dissappeared in town) Chris and Sian who werent hungry. Came back after tea and started drinking again! hehe! Again more games follwed and ended up pouncing on the boys beds at about 11 just because we could! Thought it would be a good idea to bang on the kids doors and wake them up in pay back for waking us up - typicaly thou we got caught by their teacher who was patroling the coridoor! So we went to bed and got attacked by some of the boys.

Today! - got woken up at 7 today - but thats not a suprise - the kids had to have a lie in as its sat! Had breakfast with a load of battered aussies and english blokes celebrating one of their 23rd birthdays - battered at 8 in the morning! sooo funny - he rang someone up and slagged off the auzzies! anyhoo got to go now so will fill you in later xx
