SORRRYYY for my negligence!!!!!! I actually completely forgot I had a blog for a few weeks...but we had the craziest weekend that I just have to blog about!!!!!!!!!!
Thursday was thanksgiving and so cute; we bought instant/pre-made everything and had thanksgiving in the common room. reallyyy missed my fam that day..but then we went out, problem solved.
FRIDAY is when the trouble began- our flight to melbourne was delayed until 10pm, and finally cancelled while we were waiting at the gate. bummer. the next available flight got us in at around 4pm, but better than not going at all righttt?? so we landed in Melbs, freaked the fuck out as we walked onto the tarmac- FREEZING and RAINING. I keep forgetting that the weather isn't going to be sunny and beautiful everyday, thus rarely packing accordingly. Our friends picked us up in the airport in our rental car for the weekend (with the steering wheel on the WRONG side!) omg and ki said they had a honda, but it was a hyundai, and she thought hyundai was just what pretentious people called hondas lollllll.. ANYWAY-- started driving the GREAT OCEAN ROAD!! 1/2 was breath taking ocean views, 1/4 was rainforest, 1/4 was hills and farmland. Its 250 km long and worth every minute. We made it to The Twelve Apostles by sunset- amazinggg. On the way, we pulled up to a gas station and in the grass was a BABY bunny shiverring in the cold so we picked it up and brought it inside and the guy at the store nursed it back to health and called animal rescue <3 SO cuteee. anyway, kept driving the great ocean road until the hostel, made dinner in the community kitchen- so backpacker legit...
SUNDAYYY- started out really well!!!! woke up at 530 to see the sunrise over the 12 apostles, drove around to each of the major sites on the shipwreck coast. weather was so good and every stop was so so surreal. stopped for lunch and had a beef roll. so weird- aussies are so obsessed with beef. beef rolls, beef pies, such weird shit..and hot dogs look like red rockets!!! got dropped off in this shit town called geelong where our hostel was. it was DISGUSTING. like i will never ever stay in a hostel again. it was ABSOLUTELY haunted and there were PUBES ON THE BED!!!!!!!! ki and i were crying, got the fuck out of there, saw harry potter, went to kfc, and decided to just crash at the airport since our flight was at 6 am anyway...after we got there we found out the airport actually closed for the night...cried to the security guards telling them our horror hostel story and they let us sleep in the closed airport alone!!!!!!! it was freaky and we totally couldve planted bombs or something. we did make friends with these guys that worked for the airline who blocked off rows and gave us rows to our self on the flight. finally got back to gold coast around 10 this morning and the weather of course is gorgeous. so good to see our other third libby- except she was basically unrecognizable since shes so damn tan.
THREE weeks till we go home :(((( i think i'll go into withdraw.
