Missing Home – few tears!

Current Mood:Sad emoticon Sad

This was the worst night and day I have had here…  We travelled from Byron Bay to Noosa on at first Premiere Coaches and then Greyhound, it took eight hours due to a delay at Brisbane on the crossover – we got into Noosa at 5:30pm in the evening and then walked over a big hill to our accommodation for the night “Koalas – Noosa”.  They wouldn’t pick us up as they told us on the phone as we were late (due to the delay!), so knackered we arrived at their doorstep. 

“Sorry, we don’t have your booking and we are fully booked!”…  What the hell!!!!!!!!!!

It turns out that when we didn’t arrive at the time they thought we would be there they cancelled our booking.  After much arguments, they advised they had 3 beds but in two rooms.  I was in a 7bed mixed, while the girls were in Female only 7bed dorm.  It was a shit hole and to get out of there we went to the pub and had a meal followed by the Cinema to see Borat.  Borat was wicked and I recommend you to go and see it.

We got back into our rooms at about 11:30pm and hit the sack…  About half an hour later a girl came into my dorm, straight into the bathroom and was promptly sick in the corner of the room followed by the toilet.  I was trying to ignore it, but when she started crying I thought I should see if she needed some water – I ended up holding her hair and patting her back for about an hour!  Afterwards though she crawled into bed and passed out…  Until her friends came in and poked her until she woke up, which made her spin out and run to the bathroom to be sick again, this time though she slipped and banged her head causing much crying and vomitting.  I was soooooo tired and just wanted to sleep – but the puking lasted about another half hour then those three crawled into bed!  Thank God.

An hour later, I was back to sleep again until 2 teenage piss heads decided to come into the room and sit on my bed which included me!!!  I was not amused, but stayed calm.  Eventually, I shut my eyes about 4.30am!  Tired, pissed off and a bit lonely.

The girls didn’t have the best night either, Scatt was woken at 6:30am by a Cockroach crawling over her – so a few screams and jumps later and Scatt was out the bed and with the help of her whole dorm, shuuing the cockroach out the door! 

We left at the crack of dorm and headed to our new accommodation – a 2 bedroom apartment which is amazing, like a proper house with TV, DVD, full kitchen, lounge, double master bedroom and twin bedroom.  Scatt was quick to dump her stuff and make her way to the beach, so Em and I sort our stuff out and I had a few tears.  The previous day really took it out of me and I felt lower than a snakes underbelly!

Still we have a nice place now!  Bring on Australia Zoo….

    consider the bad days the small blips on the radar, they will disapear into insignificance when you have the great days. I had similar crap experiences in french Gites (hostels) but mainly drunken american girls ;)

    keep up the blogs, they are great to read.
