Thursday 11th October 2007- Surfers Paradise
Got up and because the weather was not great decided to go to Dream World. Had an enjoyable day. Some of the rides were really good but it wasn't as good as Alton Towers. But for 20 quid it was alright. We got home and I was pretty knackered but Sarah had invited me to her unit for tea. Sarah picked me up at 7:30 and I was given the tour of their amazing unit. They share with 3 others but their room was huge with ensuite, walk in wardrobe. They pay $200 dollars a week which is 40 quid each. Seriously I wanna move to Oz! Troy made us tea Chicken Thai Green Curry which was beautiful. Troy used to be a chef but is now a nearly qualified plumber. Sarah has landed on her feet, however he is a bit quiet but probably because he didn't get a word in edge ways with me and Sarah. Sarah and I also drove to a drive thru bottle shop. You pull up and order your beer. You shout what money you have and the guy gives you your alcohol with your change. Seriously how cool is that. The kind guy went out back to get me some goon, as obviously it it too shameful to have in the fridges out front. Had an enjoyable night, Sarahs housemate Nada had friends over who were also drinking so chatted to them. Ethan told me I looked like a thinker. Not sure if that is a compliment and not sure what a thinker looks like. Then he asked me about religion. I honestly try and avoid these conversations but then apparantly I should know everything about all religions if I teach religion. I told him he was being stupid! Got a taxi home, went to bed and slept like a baby.
Friday 12th October 2007-Wet and Wild Gold Coast
Set off to Wet and Wild after another hot night in the 6 bedroom room which was designed for a couple. Arrived at wet and wild and had a lot of fun really cool rides. At about 4:15 it started to storm so they closed all the rides and waited for the storm to stop. It did but at 4:45 so we had 15 minutes to go on some rides and Kathy wanted to get photos of us on the rides. I tries to disuade her as me sat down in a bikini is not something you need a memory of. Got back to Surfers and got ready. At about 9:30 went down to -5 ice bar. Thought this would be a "cool" experience and after drinking goon the expereince was slightly warmer. Got chatting to a group of lads who were on tour with rugby I think! They were trying to take photos without being caught as you are not allowed to take photos while in the ice bar. This was quite fun at the time. After 20 minutes we had, had enough so we left but the photos didn't come out well so we had to go back in. However the woman knew what she was doing so we got some good shots. Left the ice bar and went to the club "Bedroom" It was nice to be out as we had spent all week watching CSI,Neightbours, Home and Away and other crappy programmes. I had a bit of dance (on my own) but didn't buy a drink too expensive. Not sure what time we left but Emma and Kathy wanted to leave so me and Penny stayed. Unfortunately Penny wanted a cigrarette and after that you have to queue to get back in. Seriously what kind of rule is that!
