1st and 2nd April
Me and Amy arrived at Mooloolaba hostel and loved it! The town was so nice and had lots of shops and a nice beach and the hostel was cool and so much like halls at uni! We were suprised as we expected it to be a tiny inbred town as no one ever talks about it - we were loving the Sunshine Coast!
When we got to our dorm we met Chris - the craziest ozzie i have ever met! We were there 5 minutes before we had planned a big night of drinking! We went to the beach, which was really nice and did a bit of sunbathing before walking around the shops on the esplanade. The lifeguards were hilarious and had to wear swimming caps - they definitely did not fit in to the stereotype of sexy lifeguards!
After shopping we bought wine and went back to the hostel to cook dinner and start drinking. We met Drew another crazy ozzie, Chris (more normal from Essex) and James. Me and Amy managed to get through 3 bottles of wine before we had even gone out. This was while Chris taught us some oz slang - "Awkies", "Alright like Veggiemite" and "Gnarly Sheila".
We went to the sports bar and met some boys from Mooloolaba - Sam, Trent and Ryan! Eventually we got bored of the football match so went to O'Malleys! Sam and Trent met us there and we all got hammered! And as they knew we were broke and travelling they bought us shots all night! They were lovely! Trent even treated us all to Mcdonalds on the way home at 3am haha!
We got up and were suprisingly feeling fresh around 7am! Maybe it was because we were going to Australia Zoo - the home of the Crocodile Hunter! Me and Amy were like little kids running around all day, it was amazing though and by far the best zoo i have ever been too! As it was easter holidays the Irwin family were doing a crocodile show so we got to see Terri, Bindi and Robert in action which was pretty cool! We even got our picture taken with Steve which seems a little wrong (awkies) but never mind...
After a long day of being tourists and feeding Kangaroo's we got back to our hostel around 5pm and made our dinner of dinosaur shaped pasta! Then we all chilled downstairs for the evening. I really loved Mooloolaba and could have stayed another night but i was excited to head to Brisbane!
