Monday 21st February

Today we got up at our own leisure and strolled down to the beach to catch some rays. Lewis hired out a bodyboard and caught a few waves, while me and tom stayed on the beach. After a while, it got so hot outside we both decided to join Lew in the sea. After going to the beach, we headed back to our hostel and got in the pool for an hour or so. We then headed to an internet cafe, where I spent a good amount of time updating this blog. While we were in there, a storm came in and so we stayed in the internet cafe for a bit longer than expected. We were planning on going sandboarding in the afternoon and watch the sunset... thats the tropics for you !

Thursday 17th February

Had another Long journey today from Agnes Water to Rainbow beach. We arrived around 12ish and hooray, the sun had decided to follow us for once rather than the rain! We checked into a hostel called Pippies which was pretty nice. 4 bed dorms so was perfect for us three. We went for a stroll and checked out the place and ended up booking a 3 day 2 night 4x4 self drive on Frazer Island. We went back to the hostel and watched a few boring videos on how to stay alive on Fraser island and how to defend yourself against the dreaded dingos. Then we got put into a group with two Irish girls (Martina and Trish) and a German woman. They were all really nice and a good laugh! We all went for a food shop together to get our supplies for the three days we would spend on Fraser island. Me and Lewis decided to buy a box of goon between us aswell. We then headed back to Pippies and met a few others that were in the other groups that were joining us on the trip. We decided to go to bed early, as we had to be up early the next morning.
