Day 12: 20/6/13
This morning I woke up with a headache and a blocked nose so I'd lemsip for breakfast!! One of the guys in our jeep had a cold for the last few days so I think I picked it up! That's obviously why I felt like going to bed early the last few nights too. Hopefully lemsip for the day will cure me for tomorrow!!
I had to get the Greyhound bus at 9:40 this morning. It said on the ticket that it was only a 3hr journey to Noosa but we actually had an hour of a stop in the middle where the driver changed buses and stuff. So, we were only on the bus for two hours- very short in relation to all the other buses. Ell, the Italian girl that had been in my jeep for all of Fraser was going to Noosa aswell. There was another girl on the bus too that had been in a different jeep and I never actually got talking to on Fraser but the three of us were chatting most of the way after our stop about the trip and various people on it.
When we got off at Noosa we had to google Nomads to see where the hostel was. It was a 7 minute walk which is grand, but lugging the rucksack uphill for 7 minutes is not good! When we got there we realised there had been a shuttle bus to the hostel that we hadnt seen! Oh well!!
Ell and I were in the same room. I just chilled in the room for about two hours first as I still didn't feel great. I definitely haven't drank enough water in the last while so I drank a load and had some dioralhye while I uploaded photos onto Facebook and the blog.
I'm going to the zoo tomorrow and when I rang yesterday to confirm the hostel they told me to go to the travel desk at 3 and the travel person would book the transfer for me. I waited in te hostel so that I could organise that but then the travel person wasn't there ad reception booked it for me! I had waited for no reason!
Ell and I went for a walk then. The guy in reception had told us about a walk around the headland with a view of the coastline all around. It took us a while to walk to the beach which was nice and then we started the headland walk. We hadnt gone too far and it started raining. We kept going a little while but then it just got worse so we had to turn back. My headache had kinda gone after drinking all the water and walking in the fresh air, but getting soaked wet couldn't have helped.
It took us a good while to get back near the hostel so we were well wet at that stage. Ell went to the supermarket then and I went to get some food as I couldn't be bothered cooking! I went to a Thai restaurant and got a gorgeous red curry chicken and rice. I drank loads of water while I was waiting for the food and between the water and the food I felt much better! Obviously I just needed some more nutrition!
I went back to the hostel and had a warm shower then as I was still wet from our walk. I did very little for the evening then, just did the blog and went to bed early as I don't want to be sick!
There were English guys in the room who were drinking for a whole before the went out! They were really comical. It was like watching Peter Kay live! It took me ages to write the blog as I was getting distracted laughing at them so I still have one day to catch up on!
