Monday 25th January.

We didn't check out until midday as we didn't want to leave the hostel. We had made ourselves at home. We treated ourselves to pancakes for brunch at Pancakes in paradise which was just around the corner from the hostel then headed north to check in to the last camp site we were staying at. It was about half an hour away in Southport, but it was next to the theme park we were going to the next day and was cheap to stay there so it made sense. We checked in to 'Dreamtime' about 4pm but didn't go on site as we had things to do. We went to the theme park 'Dreamworld' to get our tickets for the next day so we didn't have to queue. It cost about $100. Then we decided to head back to surfers paradise for a couple of hours to keep us busy. We went for a walk and then I sat in a coffee shop whilst Kirsty went to call Nick. I ordered a caramel thick shake and did some people watching, then called my Mum. I was too busy talking and accidentally knocked my shake all over the table. They were really nice and replaced it for free. When we left surfers we grabbed some microwave meals from the shop for when we got back to the camp site. Luckily we didn't get back until about 20:30 because it was horrendous. We asked the teenage girl next to us where the toilets and kitchen were and she showed us to a really small brick room with no door which had a sink in that looked like it had been there a hundred years, and that was all. Apparently this was the kitchen. We found a filthy BBQ not far from it which we wouldn't eat off in a million years. Then we found the toilets which didn't have any doors that locked and probably hadn't been cleaned before. She told us that the night before there were men in there and to not go past the toilets to the other part of the site because there were heaps of feral people. We were looking at each other the whole time in disbelief and then burst out laughing. I think if Kirsty didn't laugh she was about to cry. We almost ran back to the van with our mini torch, trying to swerve the bugs, and just microwaved our food in there and decided to just chill out in bed watching some more inbetweeners and just sleep this place away. Kirsty nicknamed it 'horror time' and a few of the people looked like something out of the film 'The Hills have eyes'! It's safe to say we would never return.
