Well - Hervey Bay must be what small-town coastal Australia is like...in the rain. There's not much to do, and our lame hostel doesn't have a courtesy bus that will take us into town. Nor did they even give us a map to help us out. Ash and I are surprisingly calm, given the fact that our 4 wheel drive adventure tour into Fraiser Island has been shortened by a day, without receiving any kind of refund at all for that lost time. We're in the throws of deciding whether or not to completely ditch this area and head north, but we've already got a boat tour booked for three days that starts un Monday, that we've also already gotten the bus ride booked for. What to do!?!?!?!? Go to an internet cafe, of course!
We're probably going to take in a movie tonight, and were considering getting our haircut. The owner of the only salon we walked into to check prices happened to be on the front page of the "Hervey Bay Town Crier," giving the details of her treturous hysterectomy.....hmmm.
So: Today: We're trying to cheer up and be flexible with our ideas of what to do.....and stay dry. We miiiiight even by a poncho! We were going to go whale-watching, but it's even a little too chilly for that. Hmm. Good thing we have some books with us.
A note on the Australian dialect: I've noticed that Aussies ADORE abbreviations. Stacey Tester, Abbrev Queen, you were totally in your element here. Seriously, nearly every word or phrase that could possibly be shortened is. And often a chipper "ie" has been tacked on the end.
G'Byie!
