From Rainbow Beach we got a bus to Noosa (which was all of about 2 and a half hours late... so unimpressed!) and a reasonable little hostel with a pathetic kitchen (that may be my least favourite part of travelling- when you have to fight off a hundred other travellers for the one pot to cook your pasta in, then find there is no can opener or even sharp knife to help complete your (boring and samey) meal.

I have a lot of love for my bean bag pillow. It makes bus trips totally easy! So Anyway, ...
