Saturday 23rd:
Up early today, got shuttle bus to Transit Centre and then onto Oz Bus. Drove to Bundaberg and had some lunch, then onto Town of 1770/ Agnes Water. We checked into our hostel - Cool Bananas which was such a relaxing nice place to stay. In the afternoon we watched 'What happened in Vegas', went shopping and then had dinner. We then went to the pub for a drink with Daisy and Becky (who we'd met at Surf Camp), but it was pretty quiet so we left, going to the bottle shop of the way back to the hostel. Me, Becky and Daisy then go looking for a beach party we'd been told about but couldn't find it. :( The police stopped us on our way and asked us if we were drinking on the streets (Daisy had a goon box and glass and we had a bottle of Passion Pop)! In the end we ended up back at the hostel, drinking with other people staying there and playing Ring of Fire. The owner guy comes out later and starts having a go at everyone even though we weren't being that loud. A couple of people started to get lairy with him which really didn't help.
Sunday 24th:
Had a lovely lie in today then went to the shop, had lunch and went on internet. Then spent the evening watching films.
Monday 25th:
Had a good sleep and got up to book our surf lesson and scooteroos. We then went on a tour around 1770 and Agnes water in a 4WD (reminding us of Fraser Island as it was bumpy in places). Late afternoon, me, Becky and Danni got picked up and taken to the Scooteroo place. Where we got kitted out with helmets, leg pads and our bikes. It was so much fun driving around the area, the faster you went, the easier it was as you were more stable! I think the maximum speed we went was about 70km per hour. We then stopped, had wedges (yum) and watched the sun set over the ocean, before driving back in the dark. In the evening, we chilled in the hostel and chatted to Dawn and Leanne (who we'd met on Fraser Island trip).
Tuesday 26th - Australia Day:
This morning we had our Lazy Lizard surf lesson. We went to a secluded beach and walked down with rash vests on and the surfboards. The instructor taught us about rips etc, just like at Surf Camp. Then had a short lesson on the sand (as it was so hot) and then headed into the sea for quite a long time. We both managed to catch some waves, would've been more if the good waves weren't when we were walking back out with our boards. After the lesson, we had to walk back up the hill to the vehicle with our surfboards, in the heat, it was horrible! Back at the hostel, we noticed that we'd burnt the backs of our legs quite badly up to our bikini bottoms - ouch! We then drunk goon but it was the nasty Sovereign dry goon which we needed to finish, yuck - so we made videos of us drinking it. At 5, we went to the pub and met up with the people from our surf lesson and the woman that took photos of us (which we ended up buying). We got free Australia vests today as we were drinking Tooheys, then went on the slot machines. When we went back to the table, everyone from out lesson had disappeared. We walked back to our hostel singing Peter Andre - Mysterious girl! We fell asleep really early today!
Love Fran...and Becky xx
