When we got off the bus we discovered a further greyhound grievance; our bags were soaking wet. Half my clothes and all my underwear was wet. The poor guy in the bed above me has to try and climb into his bed over the multiple pairs of underwear that are currently on the ladder. I have no idea how our bags, in a covered luggage space, at the bottom of a pile of luggage, managed to get so wet.
It was a short walk to the hostel but it was very hot so we were grateful. We dumped our bags but had to scrap our plans to just head to the lagoon and chill as it was raining.
It's been raining on and off all day. We wandered with our raincoats on through the town looking for somewhere to have breakfast. We eventually decided on Subway as it was cheapest. Breakfast in Airlie Beach is expensive! We sat outside for quite a while before going back to the hostel to get our room keys. Our room is a (full) 8 bed ensuite room. It's pretty decent. We changed into our bikinis and went to the man made lagoon near the seafront.
We paddled our feet for a while before getting in completely. It was quite warm. It rained at one point whilst we were in the lagoon but it didn't really matter as we were already wet. We stayed in the lagoon for a long while. Our fingers and toes were very wrinkled by the time we got out. We wrapped ourselves up and headed back to the hostel for a shower. Lauren plaited my hair in preparation for our trip tomorrow and we chatted to Xander (sp?) who is from Holland about scuba diving and Finding Nemo (the film).
At around 7:45pm we went out for dinner to a place called Mamma's Boys were we had lasagne and chips and were treated to some live music by some dude with a guitar. It's so much more buzzing than Hervey Bay. There's so many more pubs and restaurants and they're all open past 8pm.
After dinner we headed back to the hostel to prepare for tomorrow's early start. I'm very excited for tomorrow's activities.
