Wednesday 14th March:
Hi guys,
Sorry the update has taken so long, we've been very busy - sunbathing, eating more and drinking! Looking forwad to speaking to you all lots more with our phone cards.. lucky you can't see us though as taken on a lobster look and as hair is growing resembing a Miss Hullie (Balamory) been on the beach look (as hair keeps flicking out)! Also pictures are coming home soon, should be with Barb by Wednesday and Nik by next week.
We had to move hostel this morning which we quite disappointed about as we really like the house, we went down to the main hostel. Dumped our bags and went for a walk around the shops as it wasn't a very nice day. We then started our trek to the koala hospital but had to stop to play on the swings as we were too tired. We walked up a steep hill and asked an old lady if she knew how to get to the koala hospital. She was on her way to a WI meeting but kindly said she would give us a lift, in her death trap of a car - as we started the journey at 90mph! We had a look around Roto House which was an old house, but not really that interesting. Then went to walk around the koala hospital, but after seeing one sick koala the other 50 were not that interesting. We then walked down to the beach, to kill some time before the thrilling koala talk started. Hiked back up the hill to the hospital and listened to the talk for about 10 mins, saw 'Bermuda Barb' the koala!
Walked home and cooked a delicious dinner, if we do say so ourselves (but note we think the cooking goes downhll from this point!) Got ready to hit the town and went to the great club of 'DownUnder', as we walked in the DJ said 'Come in girls we haven't been talking about you' and then the whole club turned round, very embarrasing! The night was very interesting, but we did win $20 on the pub quiz due to Em's knowledge in the Pop Quiz and Soph flirting with the DJ. We also did karaoke 'New York, New York' with these two guys we met, who took over the microphones. The guys also offered us free membership in there gym in Brisbane, not sure if this was to be taken as a compliment!
Thursday 15th March:
Had to check out of our hostel at 10am this morning and after cooking some toast we sat down to waste the day as our bus wasn't until 1pm. When we were sat there a couple complained about cockroaches in the room we stayed the night before and said she had killed 10 in the night. As we were waiting for the bus the owners bird called DuffHead, small blue bird, started climbing all over us, Soph in particular and wouldn't get off. Luckily Em managed to save her by coaxing the bird onto her hand. In the meantime the bird thought Soph's leg was it's litter tray - lovely!
The bus took about 3 hours, so quite a short journey for us. Saw the two guys that were on our last bus, which was good as they were hilarious. Arrived at Coffs Harbour, really nice, clean and the best one we've stayed at so far. Shared the hostel with 5 other girls, who were all really friendly. Two of them a bit over friendly. Went over to get dinner and used our free $20 to get nachos, cheese and dip... maybe this is why the gym offer was mentioned to us! Walked to the beach with all our room mates to see the stars, which was very pretty and looking forwad to hitting the beach in the morning.
