While we were making breakfast a guy came into the kitchen with a big box of Custard apples and said anyone could help themselves. They weren’t quite ripe but would be fine in a few days. It was weird cos Sam had only been talking about them the other day as somebody had told her she must try them. They didn’t look like an apple at all, they looked more like a great big artichoke or something. Haven’t tried them yet though as they are a bit hard but we shall see.
Sam didn’t feel to good today so we cancelled going to the Croc farm and instead drove over to Yeppoon to use their internet café. The one at our hostel has no USB slot access so I couldn’t upload my blog that I’d typed and they don’t have wireless. It was a nice drive though we passed quite a few beaches on the way and while we were there I bought a load of postcards for some of the places we are off to next to save me some time. Got the stamps too so all I need to do is write them out when we get to each place (forward planning lol)
When we got back to our dorm there was a 4th girl there (full house). She was called Nick, from Scotland (from Scotland wasn’t her second name it was just Nick). She told us all about her travels and how she had been really ill with a leg infection that wouldn’t heal (nice). She set off into town to get something to eat but we later found out that on the way she met a guy who she’d bumped into earlier in her trip and he took her for a beer. She hadn’t eaten since 8am that morning so needless to say when we saw her in the bar later at 8pm she was pretty much three sheets to the wind.
We ended up playing pool with Malin, Croc Dundee, Nick and Custard apple man. Nick was swearing like a trouper and could barely focus never mind play pool, yet she seemed to be able to get the balls down better than most of us lol. She swore like a trooper and gave Custard apple ma grief all night about how he was a gobby Ozzy and needed to learn to be still and not speak sometimes lol (class!).
We played pool until closing time and then went to bed (Nick was still chattin to custard apple man). I didn’t hear her come in before I was asleep.
