Sunday 12th July
Yesterday morning we got up and went to meet another trek group who was doing the southern sun the opposite way from us. We went to the State Capitol Building with them - it was quite interesting to see. Massive building! We then went and drove past Austin university which was absolutely massive! We met up with the other group again at a park area where we could use up the last of our spray paint and do more graffiti. We dropped some of the group off who wanted to spend the day shopping but the rest of us headed for lunch. We went to a parking area that had different food trucks in it so we had lots of choices. I went to the drinks one first and got a really nice smoothie, I got a beef and lamb kebab for lunch and then got a red velvet ice cream from hey cupcake. After that we went to a small waterfall lake to go swimming. We had to walk down through a forest to get to it but the other tour leader knew where she was going so we followed her. I had an awesome time swimming and chilling in the lake. The other group left before us so when we came to leave it was like a maze, we had no idea which way we had come or where to go. We started walking up the path and then it kept separating off so we didn't know where to go. We took some guesses, turned around and went back a few times but we eventually could see day light after about 45 minutes of being lost in a forest. We got up to the top where the day light was at and realises we came out about half a mile further up the hill than where we left the van. We all had a laugh about it, the fact we came out at Toys R Us which was so far away and we had no idea how we got there. So we walked back down to the van and drove into town. Penny, Emily and I went to go shopping around the awesome little shops in Austin then met up with the others at 6pm. We headed back to camp where the two Korean boys cooked us dinner. It was so good! Yum yum!! Penny and I decided to go and jump in the outdoor pool then. It was so humid and hot even at 10pm so we just did a run and jump, bombed into the pool and then realised its only a 5 foot deep pool. Ouch but it was worth it! Went for a shower, sat with Luke and Jenni having a little catch up then had an early night.
