... music and drama. Jeremy decided he wasn't that fussed about seeing it and that he'd stay home with Denzel. The food was a three course meal that I enjoyed but the boys didn't really get throught theirs. Part of the reason was that they got chosen to participate by chasing pigs across the arena as part of the show. They were 2 of 4 chosen and it was part of a race that they won so they were thrilled. It was really well done and very spectacular including real utes and ...

... die Wellen im Hintergrund rauschten. Das Auto haben wir zum Bett umfunktioniert - einfach großartig und super bequem. Die Dusche am Morgen war dann das etwas kühle Meer.Am lustigsten war eigentlich, dass Joe, einer von Sunrover, den Troopy entdeckt hat, anhielt und fragte, ob alles in Ordnung sei. Da haben wir gelacht.. Wie gesagt, Camping war eigentlich verboten. Ich hatte auch kurzzeitig etwas Bedenken, dass uns das Meer in der Nacht wegspült, aber die Düne war glücklicherweise ...

... and you have to stay in for 30 minutes at a time. It's basically a giant walk-in freezer and it felt like Pocatello in December. The Aussies couldn't handle it, one girl had to leave after ten minutes because she was too freezing. It was weird, but fun. We wandered around and made it back to the beach again, but ended up turning in early. The next day, we got up early, checked out of our hostel and went surfing for three hours. It was fabulous- the waves were killer. But two ...

... we ended up bumping into Linda who had brought Shawna down for an hour or two. We all headed up to the Mammoth Falls and had 2 goes on that. The kids then headed off to some of the older rides such as the Aqua Races, River Rapids and the Terror Canyon as the lines wern't quite so big there. After we had done a few of them, we headed back to the adults for a bit of lunch which consisted of sandwiches, fruit salad and then some chips and sasuage rolls. We said ...

Well have just under a month left, cant believe how fast this trip has gone. Its been a bit of a quiet week ... ye right. More partying as usual and sunbathing. Went out with Hayley on Thursday we only paid for one drink all night as her firends work in two of the nightclubs over here. Spent all day in bed on Friday recovering.. way too many tequillas. Going to the ...

... World so we didn't get to do each ride more than once. The main attraction was the Surfrider, similar to a pirate ship but it had two revolving circular seating areas and on the downward parts we were sprayed with water. The ride broke down while we were in the queue but half an hour later it was working again and we joined the line again. The ride was briliant but not as good as some of the other rides. Once we ...

Up at 730am today for breakfast before our lesson. It's two beaches along from where we are staying and only takes around 5 minutes to get there in the car. In the carpark we spot the massive Red Van for the Walking on Water Surf Company and head over to meet Jame-O, our teacher for today. We also meet the outher guys on the lesson, two highly-monied English Ex-pats in the oil business with houses on 2 coasts. They're actually alright guys though ...

We heard so much about the Gold Coast, especially Surfers Paradise, that we couldn't leave Brisbane without going........ Now we've seen it, we won't come back....Sorry for those of you who adored it, but with the huge skyline, we thought we were going the wrong direction (no joke), back to Brisbane.... But no, it was Surfers Paradise. We gave it the benefit of the doubt and parked up to check out ...

... stuffing my face with free food and exchanging insults and other slang from our home countries between me and the Aussie chefs. The strangest one they came out with that I've heard before is that in England if your telling a mate that you've just had sex you might say "I just shagged her" whereas in this stupid country they say "I just rooted that Sheila"! As they were so quiet they let me off at 3 instead of finsihing at 5. Friday night was ...

... monday i had my last sociological theories of modernity class and guess where it was...yup, the bar on campus (SAM bar)...haha. i wasnt planning on drinking but when my teacher offered to 'shout' me a drink (aka buy me a drink) i couldn't really refuse. not sure if she was allowed to do that but i'll take it...when else can i say i had my last class in australia at a bar and my teacher bought me a drink? gotta take advantage of these opportunities. anyways the class was ...
