Hi everyone,
Hope you all had a lovely easter in the snow he he,
So sorry i am so behind on this blog, having to much of a amzing time on my travels cant believe nearly 5 months has flown past already!!!!!but i will try to catch up
1770
As soon as we arrived at our hostel in the town of 1770 called 1770 backpackers hostel. We had to book claudia a appointment at the doctors first thing as her eye was getting worst. The lovely lady on reception Liz got claudia a appointment straight away and even drove her to the doctors, jen went with claudia while me and kelly waited at the hostel until the girls came back. claudia came back in tears so mine and kellys face dropped as claude told me that the doctor said hehad never seen a eye go like this before and that she must go to hospital straight away in bunderberg. I gave claude a big cuddle and me and kelly tired to clam her down as she was so scared jenna got a few bits together and went away in the ambulance. me and kelly was so worried and upset and only wished they would let me and kel going with them too. jen said she phone as soon as she knew anything.
Me and kelly spent the whole day basically sitting next to the phone in reception as our mobiles didnt work in this town it was so horriable waiting there worrying, finally jenna phoned late that eveing saying claude was having scans etc and that her and claude were spending the night at the hospital as claude had to remain on a drip, jen said she would phone in the morning when they get the scan results. that night me and kelly just had dinner and a early night as we didn't feel up for going out .
The next morning we got the bad news that they were flying claude by plane to brisbane hospital as they have a specialist eye unit there and they still didnt know what was wrong with claude's eye as the scans were coming back clear but her eye was even more swalloen by this time we was all so worried. Lucky enough they let jenna fly with claude in the plan and jen even got to be co-pilot. That day me and kel went on the free 30 minute tour round the town of 1770 as to kill some time before jen was phoning back in the evening with any updated news. The tour was quite cool and done us both good to stop sitting around in the hostel all day worrying , on the tour we see amazing views of the town and a house made out of tin right on the beach which had just sold for 2 millon dollars
That eveing jenna phoned with good news that claudia was looking betterand the swelling of her eye had gone down a junktervtis(sorry cant spell) virius and they had put her on antibotics and she would be out of hospital in the next 2 days, we was also relived. poor jen was allowed to stay in hospital with claude so she had to stay in a hostel on her own, jen was so good looking after claude what a diamond!!!!!
Claude told me and kelly to carry on our trip to the cattle staion (the farm) and meet her and jen in airlie beach in a few days when she was out of hospital, me kelly was realy gutted the girls werent going to be able to come to the farm with us but so happy claude was on the mend after spending 2 days of worrying.
That night me and kelly decided to go on the scooter roo tour which were loads of get to ride little electric chopper bikes all around the town of 1770 it was wicked we was driving all around town for about 3 hours seeing such lovely views and seeing kangroo's and wallabies on our journey, also i was driving past a big farm and a man run out from the farm stark naked it was so funny i nearly came off my bike ha ha all i can say he must of been very cold ha ha lol!!!!
Also before the tour ended we got to have loads of cool photo's on the bikes and go to the rocks and eat wedges with sour cream while watching the sunset it was really lovely nite
miss you all so much
love always
claire
