Sunday 24th January

Well it was awful to wake up at 7am after not getting to bed until 4.30am and feeling the heat of the campervan. I rang Nick and was struggling to sleep not to mention having a banging headache. Lisa decided to join our friends we'd been chatting to at the campsite the day before down by the pool while I had some space to try and go back to sleep in the van, I left the door wide open and rolled around until about 12 when she returned and then I gave her some space while I went and got a subway then slept in the shade by the pool. We were supposed to be checking into a hostel for the night as both of us had had enough of lack of sleep in the van...but we needed to get the motivation to drive there after we'd both been sick.

When we'd finally sorted ourselves out, we got in the van and drove to locate the hostel, 'Down under' which was in the centre. We arrived and I was desperate for a Fanta and the machine of course would only let me select a Coke despite the fact it had Fanta in it and I could see the Fanta, something was wrong with the sensor. The nice bloke at reception checked us in laughing at how hungover we were and we walked upstairs and found our 4 bed female dorm which was so nice with the air con and our own beds. Lisa went and took the bottom double bed while I was left with the single top bunk. I didn't care though I was just happy to be able to move without worrying I'd elbow her. We chilled for a bit and I used the computers to upload some pics on my blog (first time I've been able to out here - so behind!). It was also nice to see a tv area, movie room, free laundry room and pool table.

That evening Lisa wanted to go back out for dinner as she had said to Daniel from the night before he could come meet us as he was on his own on this long holiday after his friend got rejected to enter the country because his passport photo was slightly damaged or something.... Anyway we found a place called Kitty's on the Main Street and sat outside and ordered some food. Daniel didn't end up joining us but we did have the pleasure of some girl singing (or whaling) in the street performing and then phoned to talk to mum and dad (even mum was laughing at her whaling) and caught up with them. We returned to the hostel and pretty much went straight to sleep.
