We had been told that the place to stay in Mission Beach was Scottys. A smallish hostel located right by the beach. On arriving there was a highly strung bird or reception and she was so rude to Bev i wanted to smack her...resisting this temptation we were taken to our room...a 5 bed dorm with its own fridge and bathroom....luxury! There was a fab pool which was surrounding by the dorm rooms. The sun was shining and all was good....except for the sweating...sorry i meant "glowing"...nah we were sweating like P.I.G's! We were all feeling a bit pants from the humidity and had a little sleep. When we woke up our new roomie arrived called Hannah, she was really nice and we all decided to go out that night. First though, we took a walk along the beach in the early evening and it was beautiful. The beach was lovely and as you cant swim in the sea up there it was desserted. As Em and I walked along we were dodging the huge jelly fish that we on the beach.. definitely made sense not to get in the water!
On the Oz bus to Mission Beach we were told that Scotty's restaurant did the best Kangeroo on the East coast so we thought that we would try it.....Hannah, Bev and I woofed it down and it was amazing, I cannot describe how nice it was, the service was a tad s***e with the girls working there being sooo bloody rude and full of attitude but at least the food was nice! After that Hannah, Em and I went to "Coconutz" which the locals told us was the best place to go....hmm I beg to differ. its soo odd over here cos you call a number and the random coconutz bus picks you up from wherever you are ...we even picked up locals from their houses on the way! random. Anyways this a place was full of weirdos! We were there for 25 mins, enough time for a quick drink and then we decided to go back to Scottys Restaurant/Bar. It was pretty much closing but the owner was there, a old "portly" guy said we could have a drink. We ended up being in there well past closing (which was only 1am) but we had been chatting to the owner about Mission Beach and he was telling us that 4 years ago I'm a Celebrity get me out of here was filmed up there and that Ant and Dec etc had been there! Mental eh? I also proceeded to tell the owner that his staff were pretty rude and stuff and he wasnt too happy with them...he also told us that they were getting paid $20 p/h....10 quid an hour to be rude and horrible...I could do that standing on my head!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He pretty much offered me a job but if i stayed in Mission Beach more than 2 nights I would have gone do-lally!
The next day Bev and Em were doing their sky dive, having spoken to a lot of people about sky diving I have decided to do it over the glacier in New Zealand...dont worry mum and dad as promised I wont tell you when I'm doing it I'll let you know after! ha ha. They loved in and were buzzing when they came back. It was such a nice day so we all lounged around by the pool, it was so hot I can honestly say I dont think I have been so hot in my whole life...the tropical weather and I dont really get on too well. Humid and sticky. Once again we went for Kangaroo in the evening....and it was even nicer than the day before. As the place was dead we ended up playing Snap in our room with hannah as the other people werent very up for anything.
Our bus out of Mission wasnt until 2pm so the last day was spent...you guessed it in the pool, it was soo hot you couldnt even stay out in the sun for too long. We got on the bus and were headed for Cairns.....
