Sunday 2nd September 2007

We woke up this morning and after getting dressed fancied something different for our breakfast. We helped ourselves to the free coffee and then I made some pancakes. Nikki let me do them - it was using a pancake mix, but she stood back and let me work my magic - I remembered everything Mummy June had taught me. When i'd made them, we sat outside in the sunshine and ate them. Whilst we were eating them, we were joined by Sabine, one of the German girls from our Fraser Island 4x4.

When we were done with breakfast, we gathered our things and headed for the beach. We spent a couple of hours sitting in the sun - reading and watching the surfers. The waves seemed pretty high today and we were both quite jealous - I think we might give it another try tomorrow.

We came back to the hostel at about 1pm because we had something booked for 2.30pm and wanted to have some lunch first. We had egg on toast and then got ready for our afternoon out...

A guy from a company called Scooteroo picked us up (about 7 people from Cool Bananas) and took us out of town to the shop where we were going to be hiring our motorbikes - Choppers to be exact. When everyone was signed in (by now there were about 20 riders), we were taken outside to choose our bikes. Nikki was given a mini Harley Davidson type bike painted with the Australian flag and I was given one painted with the Stars & Stripes... complete with 'Easy Rider' style handlebars. With that done, we hit the road.

We rode around the towns of Agnes Water and 1770 for about an hour - sometimes reaching speeds of 80kmph - we were having a blast. We stopped every now and again for pictures and also to look for wild kangaroos and wallabies. Just before the sun was getting ready to go down, we took a ride to the coast and got some drinks from a pub, which we drank outside as it set. Some of the guys bought wedgies - but me and Nikki didn't bother - we still got to have some though - the leader of the pack let us share his! After the sun had gone down, we jumped back on our bikes and rode back to the shop. We had an amazing time and will definitely recommend it to everyone.

The guy dropped us back at the hostel just in time for tea. The hostel were cooking Japanese fried rice with meat and vegetables. We had a plate each and then went into the TV room where everyone was watching a film. It was the Life of David Gale, which me and Nikki have seen before - so we sat on the edge of the room and played Scrabble... I won 2-0!

Hells Angels watch out - the Scooteroo's are in town!
