Monday 1st October 2007


Today, we'd arranged to go and stay at a hostel in Port Douglas - and they were coming to pick us up at about 10.30am, so we got up nice and early - had some breakfast and then walked into town to try and get the laptop fixed... again! Once we'd dropped it off we walked back to the Bohemia Resort and arrived just in time to check out.

Our hostel in Port Douglas is called Port 'O' Call and is really nice. We dropped off our bags and then took a walk down into the small town. Apparently Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg are in town, shooting a new movie - so our first stop was to the casting office to see if we could get parts as extras. Bummer! We had to be in town for a couple of weeks - and not a couple of days, so our dreams were shattered... nevermind. To make up for it, i bought a HUGE ice cream from the shop next door and ate that before hitting the shops.

We made some enquiries about doing some scuba diving whilst we're in town, but apparently the weather forecast is not very good for tomorrow and so boats are canceling their trips. We did find one that looked really good, and they pick up, from Cairns, for free - so, we'll see!

This evening we came back to the hostel and watched some TV before making some tea. Me and Nikki (yep, still helping) made another chilli (using the ingredients from last time). Afterwards, Nikki rang her Grandmas and Mum for a gossip.

It's so hot at the moment - i'd welcome a bit of rain!
