We got up around 10.30am and had some breakfast. Then Gina went back on the bus to Westpac and I went to the internet cafe to book up all the rest of the dates for the Greyhound bus to each place we are visiting further down the East Coast. Afterwards I went back to the hostel and saw all the lads. They were waiting together until it was time to get their sailing boat around the Whitsundays. I said goodbye to them. I think they are going to get down the East Coas...

Today we got up and had some breakfast. Then Gina went to Westpac. She had to catch a bus to where the bank was. In the meantime I did my laundry.

It was really annoying as we could had gone to Airlie Beach sooner. We g...

The bank said they weren't sending it until tomorrow. Then we had a walk around the shopping mall and w...

We got up ready to check out of the hostel at 10am. The manager was in and gave us both a refund of $79.00 as we were only supposed to have paid $13.50 when we checked in the other day with our Aussie Specialist cards and Explore New Zealand cards. We had breakfast and hang around the hostel for a while. My eye has really swollen up now by the mosquito bite and my cheek is swollen as well. It looks awful. I am keeping my sunglasses on all day as its so bad. Then ...
