So over super noodles

Monday 5th November

Soundtrack: Of Monsters and Men- Little Talks

This song reminds us 5 of the past few weeks in Australia, although none of us actually recall hearing it. Our subconscious minds must have noted it!

We have spent the last 5 days at Magnum's hotel in Airlie Beach. The 14 hour greyhound was a breeze, we managed to spend 10 hours of it snoozing, yet still needed sleep when arrived. I think we have all had a bit of travellers 'freshens flu' this week. Sore throats, coughs, achy limbs and the ability to have a lengthy nap after a decent nights sleep. We did a weeks worth of food shopping for £10 each and incorporated a fields worth of veg into every dish. I am SO over super noodles. 

Saturday night we partied hard. WHAT A NIGHT. We challenged ourselves to get drunk enough to take part in a cheeky dance competition in the night club, simply because the winner got $ 500 cash. We all made a pact to share the money if any of us won. So when Hannah won the competition we turned into screaming mad girls. $500 is a LOT of money to backpackers. It was one of those nights out that just seemed to go on for hours, it almost had chapters! We also got given $50, 2 vodka red bulls, a jug of beer, 3 glasses of champagne ( and a free T-Shirt ;) ) 




In 2 days we are going on a 3 day boat trip round the Whitsunday Islands, which includes snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef! Now for someone who panics swimming over a fish tile in a swimming pool I'm not sure I can go ahead with the snorkelling part but i am going to try very very hard to push my self to the limit. We shall see...
