Bri and I have split up for a little while and I am going to slowly make my way up the coast of Queensland for a couple weeks. My mission, to see and do as much as I possibly can on my way up.
I left Brisbane yesterday, and headed up to Caloundra. It looked uninviting yesterday because it was pouring down rain and so dark because of the clouds, so I just spent most of the time at the hostel. They had a free BBQ though, which was nice. This hostel is way smaller than 'Chill', the hostel in Brisbane that we stayed at. When they were getting ready for the BBQ, they asked the backpackers for help to get it ready, so I cut up some peppers lol. I sat and listened to a group of Irish people talk for about an hour and then watched the move 'The Antichrist', if you've never seen it, be warned, it is a hecked up movie.
Because it was so lousy weather wise yesterday, I decided that today I was going to go to the Zoo again today because I wanted to make one more trip there before i left the vacinity. It was cool because I got to see everything that we missed last time. I found out that we missed a lot last time. The aviary, the koalas, the red kangaroos, the wallabees and the SNAKES. I took pics of every single snake just because I love them sooo much. I got to feed the elephants, which was cool, there trunk feels really cool when it touches your hand, it basically engulfed mine trying to get the food. Then, just because I'm a tourist, and I really wanted to, I went and got some pictures taken with a huge snake, that they draped around my shoulders.. so heavy, it was awesome. I also got a pic with an alligator, he felt really cool. I got to see a bunch of kangaroos with joeys in there pouches, one of which was big enough to come out and hop around, cutest:D. Saw the croc show and the tiger show again, donated 5 bucks to the tigers, which keeps a tiger alive in the wild for one day, or so they tell me. I got a wrist band for doing that.
After I was done at the Zoo, I took the bus back to Caloundra and decided to go for a little walk on the beach. This was a beautiful. Lots of surfers to watch too. The sand on the beaches in this country is so soft and white and wondrful. It's so nice to be able to walk on the beach in the surf and not have to worry about cutting your feet on barnicles or rocks.
Surfing looks awesome, I definately want to try it.
The one thing I really like about this hostel though, the beds are so much more comfy than the one at Chill were, and they give you sheets and TWO blankets!! They didnt even give you one at Chill.
Haha, I talk to a French girl yesterday, and when I said that I was from Canada she thought that i would speak french. Sucks sometimes that you dont come from the french speaking part of Canada, seeing as over half the people in this particular hostel are French, including the manager. Of course he speaks english too but still. Sometimes I just feel lame only knowing one language...
But, I wont bore you anymore,
Good day today and moving up to Mooloolaba tomorrow.
All very exciting.
