Day 15
Up in time to catch the bus to Wet and Wild at the 2nd attempt. Wes didn?t go as his crap bus company didn?t have a late bus, so we?ll meet up in Brisbane where we are all booked into the same place for a change.
Wet and Wild was pretty good. Nothing amazing that I haven?t seen before, but it was a good day despite the longish queues thanks to the Easter school holidays. As there were so many kids around me and duncs felt a bit immature/pedo, but we didn?t care that much.
Got back in time to catch the bus to Brisbane, where Cameron, my mate from met us at the bus station. Cam has been in Australia for nearly well over a year and is currently a pearl farmer on boats off the cost of Darwin! Luckily I caught him on his 2weeks off and he has changed a bit, as you will see from the pics (if you know him)?..god knows what the poncy hair is all about!
We got some of that cheap wine in again and the 4 of us set about getting hammered and seeing what the Brisbane nightlife is like. Cam took us to a few backpacker bars and clubs and it was a pretty good night all in all.
The only real drama was a row with some girl in the 24hr MacDonalds about making mess which was pretty funny.After the club we went to the casino. Me and Wes took on the poker, while Duncs hit the roulette. Dispie being well drunk I had my poker senses switched on and won $140, Duncs won $40 and Wes lost $100.
The poker was all the more entertaining when Wes started taking the piss out of the very serious pro at the table who kept having a go/taking the piss out of the beginners. ?hey Lee, me and this boy (pointing at the pro) are going to Vegas baby!!!? being my fave, which was repeated every time he won a pot.
Day 16
Our roomates are the biggest tossers we have encountered so far. They were loud, wouldn?t leave us alone, and complete dickheads in general.
After getting in from casino at 4.30am, the freaks started playing music and arsing around at 9am and refused to shut up.
Under the circumstances we decided to get up and head into the city centre to book our tour to Fraser Island and Whitsundays cruise. This took forever which was not ideal, especially when feeling rough. The travel company kept trying to put us on expensive boats despite our wishes and although we got what we wanted eventually, there were some frosty moments when the hangover kicked in and we told them straight to stop pissing us around. Amazingly the price came down when it was clear she was getting right on my t***.
I had a little afternoon kip, which was interrupted by a freak roomate who insisted on waking me up to show me a picture he?d taken of his mate asleep on the beach with ?COCK? written on his back in sun cream??just what I wanted. I decided he was more backward than inconsiderate so I didn?t end up murdering him. Later on another of the group told me he got inspiration for a plain tattoo of his name in a box from a stamp he got from BCM nightclub in Magalauf, - confirming my suspicion about them being backward.
When Cam came round in the evening Wes sensibly didn?t want to go out again and I wasn?t really ready for a big night either. Anyways, me Cam and Duncs ended up drinking 4 litres of wine between us again and Wes went to bed. Even before we went out there was drama because in the most unlikely of places (a backpackers hostel) we nearly started a brawl!! A pissed up Canadian accused Duncs of being gay, then took offense to us getting him back by goading him about being in the closet non stop for 15mins haha. A bit of premiership style handbags and pushing but nothing major, although Cameron should get a mention for getting stuck right in. Another group came over after the row asking what happened and offered us shots of rum because they thought he was a c*** as well.
5 or so rum shots laterr, some of their group tagged along with us to the bars again and none of us knew much else of what happened, except it was a good night.
Day 17
We were booked on a 10.15 bus, so it was another very early morning which followed a VERY late night. We decided to take revenge on the freaks in the room by being loud and singing as we packed which worked a treat.We just about made the bus where Cameron met us before he left for the airport. He couldn?t remember much of the night either but it was good to see him again and hear him speak his special brand of crap. Me duncs and Wes got to Rainbow Beach (where you get a boat to Fraser) in the afternoon.
