As expected the severe weather, we were warned about yesterday, had arrived! We woke up this morning to find that the wind was really blowing and it was hammering down with rain - but we didn't care... we were still on a high from our skydive.
After getting ready and making sure our bags were all packed up, we went out to get some breakfast. We stopped in a little café, just round the corner from our hostel and shared a fry-up. When we were finished, we walked back to our hostel and waited for our Greyhound to arrive. We were talking with some of the girls we'd met the night before, and they asked to see our skydive DVD. When we showed it to them - one almost started to cry!
At about 12.30pm our Greyhound pulled up and we ran across to the bus stop. The weather looked like it was starting to clear up, but we didn't get too happy, because we'd heard it was heading North - the same direction as us. The Greyhound took a couple of hours and we arrived in Hervey Bay just before 3pm. We rang some places and then jumped in the van of one, Koala Resort, which took us back to the hostel.
We dumped our bags and had a quick look around Hervey Bay - but it looked like the bad weather was on its way, so we spent a couple of minutes walking along the beach and then checked out the shops near our hostel.
This evening, the rain was coming and we'd been sat in for a couple of hours so, we went to a bar a few doors down from our hostel and had a couple of beers... still talking about our skydive! We still couldn't believe that Nikki had done it with me, and she was so proud of herself - so she rang Nicola to tell her!
Well, I suppose it had to rain sooner or later!
