Saturday 28th July 2007


We got up this morning and it's definitely getting warmer (I had the infamous Chicago Bulls vest on today) so, we sat by the pool whilst we ate our breakfast. Afterwards we took another walk into town to have a look around and Nikki said she wasn't feeling too good. I said i'd buy her something to help cheer her up - so I did... a smoothie and a kebab!

This afternoon we took a nice long walk along the beach and I even had a paddle in the sea. When we got back to the hostel we had toasted sarnies and hung out with the other guys who are staying here. We also bumped into a guy called Rob, who we met in a hostel in Newcastle - and he seems to be following us up the coast. He's on his own, so we sat drinking with him tonight.

Oh, we booked a trip-type-thing today too. For $399 each (about £160) we get a 3 day 2 night Whitsunday Cruise (sleeping on the boat - with all food and drink included), a 3 day 2 night Fraser Island 4wd Camping Safari and 9 nights accommodation at different hostels up the coast (including Byron Bay, Surfers Paradise, Hervey Bay, Airlie Beach and Magnetic Island) - in total, it's 13 nights accommodation!

Nikki, it's getting hot - you'd better dust off the suncream!
