Once again, we were up nice and early this morning so we could go through our routine of shower, dress then get the free breakfast - only eating the toast so we could save the Weetabix. When we'd done all that, we caught the free hostel bus into town because we were moving hostels today. We moved to one called Shanannigan's, which is much closer to everything - and checked in with no problems.
With all our things safely in our double room we went out for a walk, and right next to our hostel was a HUGE indoor market. The market was amazing! They had every fruit and vegetable imaginable and it was all really fresh looking (plus it has different names to the UK veg) - it put the Fruit Market in Bristol to shame. We spent about half-an-hour looking about and came out with tonnes of vegetables for tonight's (and a fair few nights afterwards) tea. We dropped the vegetables back at the hostel and then went for a look around the shops.
We went into Travel Bugs and spoke to them about possibly doing some scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef, but we didn't book anything because we're going to Cape Tribulation on Tuesday - and so we'll leave it until we get back from there. Afterwards we took a nice walk along the Esplanade.
This evening Nikki made us a vegetable Thai green curry and then afterwards we went to the cinema to watch Hairspray which, surprisingly, was pretty good! When we got back to the hostel we went into the bar and had some beers whilst watching some of the footie highlights on the TV. I was hoping they'd be showing the Man Utd vs Chelsea game (which was on at 1am) but for some reason they were closing before that... nevermind!
What the hell is a Zucchini anyway?
