It was good to wake up in a double-bed again this morning, one in a private room come to that - some of the other travelers make some strange noises in their sleep. In Cool Bananas there was a girl who snored all the time, and in Kookaburra's there was a girl who started shouting out in the middle of the night (it's always the women!).
We got up, had some breakfast and then took a walk into the centre of Rockhampton. It looked really cloudy when we opened the curtains this morning, so we came out wearing long trousers. What a mistake that was - it was absolutely boiling!
The centre of Rockhampton was quite interesting. We found ourselves walking down the main high-street with normal looking buildings on one side and buildings that looked like they'd been stolen from the set of a Western on the other - they were really cool, old buildings. One old building we found was called The Heritage Hotel, and as we were walking past we decided that we'd go in for some drinks.
When we'd finished our drinks, we walked back towards our hostel and into a newer part of town. We found a shopping centre, where we had a look around and then we went to the cinema - to watch the Bourne Ultimatum... it was quality and well worth a watch!
This evening, we came back to our hostel and booked a trip for the next two days - to a place called Myella Farm. Afterwards we thought, seeing as we were in the 'Beef Capital', we'd go out for a steak. We'd heard of one place called The Ascot Stonegrill, where you cook the food on a 400° slab of stone (like on our anniversary) - so we went there. I had a a Porterhouse and Nikki had fillet. They were both really nice (and huge) - although mine was much better than Nikki's. The place was also quite odd - with no atmosphere.
On our walk back to the hostel it started to rain - which was typical seeing as we had something planned for tomorrow... hopefully it'll clear up!
Yippee! Private room!
