amy and greg: airlie beach

after daydream, our last 4 nights were spent in airlie beach, we stayed at bush village backpackers. our first couple of hours were quite stressful, amy's bag was broken in transit between our room at daydream and abel point marina. the company we travelled with have refused to accept responsibility.

then when we arrived at bush village an error had been made on our booking, apparently we'd been booked in for the night before (an error between the travel agent and hostel) so when we didn't turn up our room was sold. the people at bush village managed to find us a twin room for the first night then a double for the others. the resort was again a massive improvement on magnums (anything would have been an improvement but this was a particularly nice place).

the following pictures show the difference between the two backpacker's resorts. magnums and bush village.

following the stressful events we went out for a beer and something to eat. then after some confusion we met up with dib.

our time in airlie was often spent relaxing by the lagoon (a swimming pool made because you can't swim in the sea due to the jellyfish). we met up with dib at the lagoon and had a meal and drinks with her one night. it was really nice to see a face from home. and talk about our experiences with someone like us.

somewhere between that night and the following day greg lost his debit card which again proved quite stressful. things like this effect you more than they would at home. though hopefully it's all sorted out now thanks to mother.

for the last two nights we discovered a mexican restaraunt and on tuesday had all you can eat chilli for 8 dollars.
