What an amazing semester! I wish i would have wrote about everyday cause each day had a new adventure in it. Before this trip, Rachael and I did an outback tour for 5 days and had a nice road trip to Adelaide, but if you want to read about those you can always check out her blog! The end of the semester called for a final trip, unfortunately Penn (my Chinese Friend) couldn't make this one so it was up to me, Josef and Harry to drink his share haha (which wasnt that much anyways haha just kidding Penn)!
After a crazy last pub night, I needed Thursday to recover and still wasn't 100% on Friday before we left (yes, it was that crazy) so i left the driving to Harry and Josef. While sitting in the back seat I realized (I can now use a z in 'realized' without getting judged or marked off from a professor....YAY) that is was the last trip i would take 1. in Australia and 2. with my good friends Harry and Josef (for awhile atleast)...it was a sad moment in the backseat for me. After leaving the metropolitan area and suburbs, green hills began to roll all around us and in the horizon. It was like nothing i've ever seen! We had a quick decision to make between the coast way or just the highway, luckily we made the right choice and went the coast route. So after a nice scenic drive, the sun began to set and we started our way through the Snowy Mountains and yes, they actually have snow on them! Now that the sun was down, Jumanji 2 started and the Australian wildlife was everywhere. Kangaroos running across the street every couple minutes, wallabies, wombats and a Dinosaur...ill explain. So Harrys driving, im sitting in the front seat and josef is sleeping in the back and all of a sudden this roar comes out of nowhere! It was 11 pm and Harry didnt say anything about the noise so i was like "uhhh, did you just hear that?" and he was like I didnt want to say anything cause I thought i was hearing stuff! So after being a little weirded out, we talked about how the velociraptor part of Jurassic Park was the coolest part of the movie and that the mountain we were on probably was a Jurrasic park....okay we hadnt seen a car in hours so we were going a little crazy, but we both heard the noise and when we told Josef he was convinced we made a stop and grabbed some mushrooms from the side of the road, but I assure you we didn't! Anyyways, we finally made it to the coast at a little after midnight and were lucky enough to find a hostel that was still open...well, we thought we were lucky!
We walk into this building and there isnt one window and was already cold in the room. I called dibs on the extra blanket so i was 'okay' through most of the night but i woke up quite a few times and the bed would be shaking where Josef was shivering (it was a bunk bed... geese you guys are sick!)
So we woke up and i was feeling a little better than the day before but still a tad weird but i was okay enough to drive and we got a coffee and headed to a nearby "bush walk" or trail walk in other words. The walk was 15 minutes and wasn't anything spectacular and the beach access was closed off....but this rule was obviously meant to be broken! So we hopped down some steps and found ourselves on one of the nicest beaches we'll probably see! Not a foot print on the beach, huge waves, clear water, raised cliffs behind us, oh and the dolphins swimming up and down the coast...pretty sweet! So after hanging out, Harry and Josef swam a little and having a beer, we left with the feeling that the trip was already worth it. I was feeling pretty good now and was ready to crank. Harry made a mix from some of the songs out of my eclectic music collection and he chose some good ones, from Duran Duran to The Fixx and U2 to Seal, plus many more, and it made the drive even more spectacular than it already was. so little more driving and then we stopped in a nice town and got some fresh sea food. Our accommodation was much nicer this time, more blankets, a heater, and it was a sort of camper park so we didnt have to worry about disturbing anyone! We hung out for a couple hours and had a few beers and got hungry later so Harry and I had some chicken, which hit the spot! Oddly enough, we fell asleep pretty early, maybe 930 this night and decided to make it an early morning as well. So once we got to sleep, of course the camper across the street decided to have this huge rave and i have to say the DJ was actually really good, but i was ready to kill someone! And then it stopped and after a couple more hours of sleep i had the craziest dream! I woke up and looked around and my bed was surrounded by a brick wall...it was so freaked I woke up in the morning and had flipped around on the bed to where my head was where my feet were! So weird....but we all woke up around 730 and were ready to start another adventure!
