We arrived at the next town which was quite a big town, we stayed in a hostel here which was a really nice change to the tent. The hostel was quite nice, We got into our room which we shared a room with Chloe and Stu, we sorted out our washing and tried getting on WiFi but it wouldn't let us. We planned to go out for steak that night as it was Monica's Birthday, so we headed into town which was quite far and got into a steakhouse. The group all sat on separate ta...

We arrived into the national park after a long drive, we had to set up tents on a gravel roadway which was covered in big stones, thankfully our air beds were good enough to not feel them once we were laid down.

They had no rooms available for us so we had to go to another one down the road, we decided to get a private as we needed to sort all our bags out before the tour. For dinner that night we went to a takeaway place and got a large pizza with wings and garlic bread. We ate the wings and bread and got really full so saved the pizza for the next day. The ne...
