its job huntin season shortly.
k guys, i realize i have only done one picture post but lately we haven't been taking any pics as we're really not doing anything worth taking pictures of. our routine seems to be that we promise ourselves we're gettin up early then actually get up around 10am, from there we have our awesome breakfast of pb and choco spread on toast, from there we borrow one of the surf boards from the hostel...that's right they're free for those who are staying in the hostel, so that's been saving us like $30 a day. that's probably the main reason we haven't moved. its such a good deal. we are trying to wean ourselves though and will likely move on by the end of this week lol. part of that process is finding surf boards for ourselves...which we've partially completed, just this morning darcy and i are are the proud owners of our first 8'1 mini mau surfbaord. $470 later. pretty good price though we figure as it is including a brand new board bag and leash. the guy who sold it to us was really cool. anyway after surfing in the mornings we usually go for a 15 minute walk up to sunshine beach road which has some cheaper alternatives to the ritzy hastings street our hostel is close to. here we get free internet again...woot. and reasonably priced groceries. after that its usually some down time and then supper making time, which can take up to 2 hours including shopping, cooking and eating. after that...i'm bored out of my freaking mind. unless i want to go out to a club there is nothing to do here. and i would do that but it's way to expensive, so i sit in my room and listen to music, sooooo boring. now you say why not hang out with all the people i know from the way? unfortunatley we've lost them all as we've decided to hang out in noosa for so long and no one else is really that into surfing compared to us. there's a couple people we know but it's hard to connect with different locations and schedules. that's why i think if i stay here for any length of time i'm going to need to find a night time job so i don't go insane. darcy can just chill out doing nothing at night sometime but i cannot handle it. speaking of work, its definitely a must at this point so we are going to have to decide when and where we want to sit put for a few weeks. also whether we want to do harvesting work or local work (ie hostels, restaurants) so yah its gonna happen. yesterday we met a pretty cute couple who are from taiwan and go travelling for one month every year. the husband is looking at retiring soon as he loves to travel so much, they were giving us advice on how to cook our rice and even insisted on me sharing a beer with them! i can't pass up free beer. darcy could though :( our hostel is pretty good but i think it is missing the traveller's vibe as it is more of cheap accomodation than a hostel. that's why i think i'm not meeting people either as it seems to be less communal and more resortty (as odd as it sounds for a hostel) we tried to find a church to go to on sunday but after looking through yellow pages, internet sources, newspapers, asking locals and phoning churches, i could not find anything, i know they're out there but i wanted to know where i was going so we didn't end up at some spiritualist assembly of scientism church...no joke, they're around here. anyway as for our plans for the next while, we really don't know, it kind of slowly gets formulated through talking about it like every hour. we'll see what happens enjoy for now.
