Day 11: Monday, March 24th

(i posted twice tonite because i've been way behind and we didn't do much on Day 10)

we woke up, rested, packed, and "explored Airlie Beach again!". which really meant we got our bagels and cream cheese, read, and sat out by the lagoon waiting for our bus to take us to the airport. a very expensive bus. i finished my book "The last Juror" and returned it for 4 bucks to the book trading store. niiice.
we caught our bus, along with a couple other backpackers, and a barefoot homeless man who "snuck" on. the bus eventually dropped him off a few stops later because he didn't have a ticket.
we got to the tiny tiny 2-gate airport which has departing guests sit outside. we found some shaded seats and read some more.

we arrived in Brisbane for our layover on the way to Canberra and found more pizza to eat. seriously, all they know how to make vegetarian is cheese. my sister tried a chocolate bar called 'cherry ripe' and thought it was gross. we realized we're going to get in late to Canberra (and anytime after 5pm mostly everything is closed) so i'm frantically texting friends trying to find someone to go get us wagamama so we can have it for dinner (for the 3rd time).

we arrived in Canberra at about 9:30 i believe, got our bags, and our taxi, and got to my dorm room. i wrote down that we laughed, but i don't know why.
Since it was a holiday weekend Wagamama 'ran out of food' so my friend R couldn't fulfill our dreams, but he did buy us pasta, pasta sauce, and vegetables, so that was our dinner. and it was yums.
as we walked to my room, my friend J had been hiding and she jumped out and i screamed like a girl. a loud adult girl.
my sister and i had our dinner, watched 'the west wing', checked e-mail, and passed out.

another exciting non-stop day for us girls! we like our cheese and our sleep.

we have to wake up tomorrow at 5:30am for hot air ballooning! so no late-nite partying for us!
