We packed up camp today. It was a lot more work then unpacking it. But the bus Driver came about 1.5 hours early so we actually headed out a little before we had to. We unpacked again @ the storage facility, and then the bus dropped most of us off at the Roma street station. Kelsey, Anna, Caitlin, and myself took a 6 hour Greyhound to Noosa (Peter and Lilia were on the same bus) and we finally made it to our hostel in time for dinner (12 hours of more or less straight traveling).

We share a kitchen/living room with 4 other people. We live in a concrete box but the town is amazing so it's more than bearable. The other 6 kids here (from the trip) cut a deal with the resort to fit 6 people in a 4 person "apartment" for a discounted rate. The rate we four in the concrete box are paying. And the apartment is fucking sweet. Like...Giant leather couch and full kitchen, 1.5 bath, two double beds in separate rooms upstairs with their own balconies...sweet.

Stupid Kat and negotiating skills. We got to see their apartment because their train broke down so they had to take a public bus through the mountains and didn't know if they were gonna get there in time to check in, so we did it for them, before the office closed @ 8.

Sat on the beach last night and drank "wine" (is boxed wine "wine" if it tastes like over sweetened grape juice?) and watched the giant waves crash in. There is a class 4 hurricane that is supposed to hit the coast up North so we may see some rain and showers in the next week.

Had the best brekky of my life this morning: bagel with salmon and cream cheese, eggs with pesto, tomato, and some other greens all sandwiched together. Monstrous, but delicious. The cafe was super cute too.

off to the town/beach
