Neil's Round the World Trip!
We finally arrived in Hervey Bay (pronounced by Aussies here as Harvey Bay). We were picked up by the hostel manager of Kookaburras Hostel (oh the reason I've been travelling with the Swedish sisters is they have booked identical tour package as me).
However as we checked in it soon became apparent that my travel agent had once again screwed up! She forgot to book me on a Fraser Island tour so I will now have to wait a further day before leaving and so I will no longer be travelling with the Swedish sisters (from Stockholm actually!)
I went to the beach today with Ebba and Julia. The beach was nothing special especially after the Whitsundays. The water was murky and warm with rocks instead of sand!! We sunbathed on the beach and had a picnic then went back to the hostel as they have their Fraser Island briefing whereas I don't have mine until tomorrow!!
We ate rump steak from the hostel's budget restaurant and drank a few glasses of goon. Greg the Canadian turned up, he's going to tour the island tomorrow too! He played the guitar and sang lots of different songs like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and the Foos. It was hilarious, his guitar playing was great but he cannot sing at all!
I said goodbye to Ebba, Julia and Greg and went to sleep at 12am (before I went to bed I had to kill 2 cockroaches that were scuttling around my dorm!!)
