After cleaning and doing some housekeeping with Jade, I went to the fruit market to get some nectarines. I also brought a sugar banana to see what all the Thai elephants were raving about when they munched on them so greedily when me and Alice rode on one. It wasn't that much different to a normal banana to be honest. The free BBQ was supposed to be at 2, but got delayed until 4. Bex was a little unsure as to what she was supposed to do, as she thought she wa...

I had read the rota wrong, and thought I didn't have to clean at the hostel today, so Amanda had to wake me up. Luckily Matts (the other guy supposed to be helping me) wasn't up either. It was a bit worrying that he said to leave the toilets as they 'don't have to be cleaned every day'- very different to the 3 times a day at Nomads! Bex was serving the pancakes we get for Saturday morning breakfast, which were yummy. We went to healthy grilled burgers for lun...

I think cleaning the hostel would be a lot easier if they had better quality equipment, like mops that aren't broken etc. Opening the restaurant went OK, except the TVs weren't showing the videos, but I don't think that was my fault- I'm just glad Chats was around to reassure me it wasn't just me being a div. I brought a Paw-Paw from the weekend fruit market. It tastes a bit like a mango. Later on in the evening shift, I had a table of 11 who were celebrati...

I was put down on the roster for 7.30 -10.30 cleaning at the hostel, so that I could (with a bit of frantic getting ready) get to work at 11. However no-one came and told me what to do until 8.15, so I only cleaned the toilets for 2 hours. It's a bit harder than cleaning the Nomads toilets because they are so dirty to begin with, and the mop bucket had broken so it was quite hard to get the floor clean. On Thursday nights, people staying at the hostel get free...

Reef breakfast was a help yourself majobby, so I had a bowl of cornflakes and some toast with peanut butter on, and everyone was a bit quiet and not very talkative- I don't know whether that's just because it was the morning. Today at work, I got trained in how to open the restaurant. I do this tomorrow with Emilie again, and then on Friday I have to do it myself which I'm a bit nervous about! Because I stayed until lunch close, and came back in the evening, I...
