Rainforest Bus Tour ~July 23, 2010~

(Sigh...) Where do I even begin...? Last night was amazing. I hung out all day, by the pool and stuff with Chris, Seb, Kelly, Danielle, Sara, Cire (seray-i found out how to spell it!), Nathan and Jagger. We played Rock Band for so long, it really does bring people together lol. It was the Welcome BBQ at the Pav and Ben was cooking the burgers and chicken. I went there with Matt and met up with my friends. The Pav was so packed, inside there was a DJ and lights and everyone was dancing and drinking and eating, laughing and talking, playing pool and such. It was so fun to dance! They listen to the same music we do in the U.S. so that's cool. Mostly everyone were wearing toga's for the club later, 240V. My friends and I didn't, but there were so many great looking toga's! After this, we tried to catch a bus to the club in Mooloolaba, but they filled up and we were waiting for like 45min so we got Chris's friend Adam to drive us. There wasn't enough room for everyone so only me, Danielle, Chris and Seb got to go. It was free to get in with our student I.D.'s and it was so packed! Also, international people need to bring passports out to get in anywhere and to buy alcohol, ect...so that's really annoying because if I lose that I'm so screwed. Dancing at the club was awesome and it was all techno! So cool! The drinks were SO expensive. Seb got a drink for him and I and it cost him $18!! I got a Malibu and pineapple and it was such a small glass!! Crazy... Earlier, Kelly and I had gone to the huge liquor store near Woolies and got alcohol and just to see how expensive everything was (except the wine) was just unbelievable! For example, in the States I can get a 6-pack of Smirnoff Ice (my favorite!) for like $8 or $9. A 4-pack of that stuff here is $16!! So I guess that's good, that way I can regulate my drinking AND my money! School starts this week, however I don't have class until Tuesday. So hopefully this weekend is great :)
NOW. For today... :) You guys will never believe what I did!! We went on a bus tour of a rainforest in the mountains, Kelly Justin, Danielle and I went together with our friend Nicole from the States as well. We took TONS of pictures! I will have to try and find some time to get all my pictures on here, be patient! They WILL come soon I promise! You know how I love to procrastinate :p Anyway, we went on a hike up and down these gorgeous forests, saw waterfalls, little pools, trees so high you have to squint to see the tops and we saw a wallaby!! It was like a tiny kangaroo! So little and cute!! So we came upon is pool that was 60ft deep and so so cold. Think of the coldest water you have ever felt. Times that by 2x. It was FREEZING. So, I jumped in. Kelly and I climbed to the top of the rock cliff after watching some other boys (younger and older) jump off. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity. When would I EVER be able to do this? We jumped into the freezing water, plunged down and I could barely speak it was so cold! It was amazing. I screamed the whole way down and I would do it over and over. SO WORTH IT. I will try and put the video on here!
Well Ben and Matt made burgers for dinner, and I need to cut up my watermelon for us as well. I hope everyone is enjoying my blog, if you have any comments feel free to post! Love you all!
