Hey Mooloolaba!

Last night we stayed up late hanging out with our room mates at the hostel's karaoke night. It was nice to be social and we're getting on really well with them already do it's such a shame that today we leave. They live in Glasgow so I've taken there names for Facebook so if we ever go up to Scotland we said we'd be in touch. They were super keen to try the free pancakes so I woke up early with them to do that leaving a lazy Nick in bed. They were just as good as the other day and I'm definitely going to miss having them in the morning. Once Nick was up we spent the morning getting our stuff ready which included taking our bedding to laundry before finally checking out. We said our goodbyes and went to the bus stop to wait for our next coach. Soon we were underway. After an hour we had a 45 minute stop at a services that had a giant statue of a kangaroo outside with a lake behind. It was a nice place to sit with a coffee and wake up a bit. The rest of the journey didn't take too long and we read for most of it which always passes the time quickly. We arrived at Mooloolaba, a place we only chose to stay in as it's close to Australia Zoo. We had a 20 minute walk to our Airbnb and during the walk I think I broke my toe so that's not too fantastic. It's so tender and hard to walk on but hopefully it sorts itself out without any need to visit a doctor. Our host had to stay away for the night so we have the place to ourselves for the first night. He lives alone and isn't very clean so it's not fantastic but it'll do for a cheap stay. On our walk to the accommodation we saw 3 charity shops, our first ones since we left the UK. I love charity shops so of course we had to go! We headed and visit them all and they were so cheap that I wished we were back home so I buy so many lovely things! We didn't get the items we were looking for but it was still nice having a rummage. After some food shopping we headed to the beach where we watched the sunset sky over the ocean which was pretty beautiful. Tonight it's just pasta for tea and chilling out. Not the most exciting day but travelling days never are.Read more
