Well, not really too much to report from the previous week. I managed to choose the worst possible hostel for Christmas. It actually turned out to be hotel instead of a hostel, so was full of families instead of travelers. But on a positive not I did end up with a room to myself with a double bed, TV, and en-suite. It's been rain, rain, rain for the past week so because of the bad weather my Whitsundays sailing trip was canceled. I rearranged it for today but it got canceled again. Oh well I suppose it just wasn't meant to be. On another positive note it does mean I've had the chance to watch England stuff the Aussies in the Ashes over the past few days.
Well I'm off to Mission beach tomorrow and I will be spending new year there. I've been told that the hostel I'm staying at is a very good one, so here's hoping my new year turns out better than Christmas.
Hi Ben
ReplyDeleteSounds frustrating but glad to hear that you remained. I have just been reading that the rainfall in NE Australia had caused enormous floods and that December had been the rainiest for 154 years
We had a great day yesterday with M&O
Better luck next stop
Dad
Hey Benj, drat and drat and drat again. If you'd wanted to have you life ruined by rain you could have stayed in Blighty. New Year will be better. Yes it will. Our Christmas was good, too manic and there was a large Ben-shaped hole in the middle of it, but good all the same. Much love, Bex xxx
