Unfortunately when we arrived in Brisbane we did not have a hostel booked and everywhere was fully booked.... until finally a hostel let the four of use squeeze into a three bed dorm, thank god. It ended up being a really nice hostel too, the bar was good and cheap and the people were really friendly. Our second night there we ended up being moved into a four bed en suite with a fridge and TV....luxury! As we were hungover anyway we decided to make the most of our room by staying in it most of the day, we had a lovely little inside picnic and watch a couple of films.... fantastic.
There wasnt really much to do in Brisbane expect from have a look aroung the shops and walk around the city, so we just had a day of sorting our lives out and deciding on our next plan of action.
Noosa was a gorgeous place but unfortuantely the weather decided to turn horrible!
The first night we arrived we had to put out tents up in the dark and in the pissing rain!!! But worse was to come. When we woke up the grass was completely waterlogged around us and as soon as we stepped out side our tent we got drenched. One dry place to escape to would have been the car... but because boys will be boys and they had to buy a soft roof to put their surf boards which actually leaves a slight gap in the doors resulted in the whole of the inside of the car was soaked through. We were all cold wet and all we had left to do was to drive to the nearest indoor shopping centre so we could dry off and get some breaky! Later on in teh day we figured out that the only way to beat the rain was to join in, so we got into our bikini's and boardies and jumped into the sea! We spent the next few hours there until we decided to go and treat ourselves to fish and chips for dinner.
That night there was no way we could go back into our tents, so we told our sob story to the campsite owner who let us upgrade to a deluxe cabin for only a few dollars more... it was amazing... it had a kitchen, sitting room, TV, pots, pans, cups, glasses, 2 double bedrooms, bathroom etc!!!
We all went to Emundi market while we were in Noosa. It was quite big with lots of tat as well as some cool things. we also got another free digeridoo lesson, think we will be pros by the end of our trip!
On Valentines day all four of us went to Steve Irwins Australia Zoo, it was really good and had lots to see. The croc show was a little disappointing but the crazy tiger keeper made up for it by playing and restling with 3 young tigers. Next new job... to be a tiger trainer! In the evening each couple went off and did own own thing then booked into a lovely appartment for the night.
