We've finished booking Australia!

All night! The fireworks went on all night long and up until about 11am when you can't even see them! It was horrible as someone was setting them off right next to us and he had the loudest firework I've ever heard to the point where I jumped every time it went off. So sleeping was non existent really. Also a little annoyingly we were forced out of bed at 8:30am to eat breakfast that had been made by a neighbour who now needed to dash somewhere so I'm not sure where Kathy the owner was and we haven't seen her all day. This meant lack of sleep and no lie in so a planning day seemed like the best idea. As Gili Meno is so small we've done and seen much of the island and seeing as swimming is so hard to do here we decided to set up in places with wifi and get the rest of Australia booked. The place we planned to have lunch wasn't serving food so we had drinks there and booked a couple of locations before moving onto the next area. On route we saw a house that had used plastic bottles to build their wall and gate, an effective recycling method when there are so many plastic bottles on the island. We stayed at our next resturant for a good couple of hours where we finalised the last 3 places and we can now finally say that a months worth of accommodation in Australia has been booked! We're so very proud of ourselves especially as we managed to achieve an average of £16 a night each. If we'd left it last minute it could of been double or triple that cost as we really have snapped up the cheapest airbnb's, hostels and dorms. We have a few stays in dormitories but we knew that would have to be the case in places where the average night was costing £150. It feels like a weight has been lifted and now all that is left to do is book all our buses in between. Hopefully out next place we are staying has working wifi as that would be so much easier and cheaper to not have to buy drinks to use it! We spent the evening packing up for tomorrow's move and watching episodes I'd downloaded. Although it wasn't an exciting day it was something that needed doing and I'm glad we were able to do it while drinking tea and overlooking the beautiful scenery.Leggi altro
