It rained ALL last night... thunder and lightening.. and I had to run back n forth to get my laundry done. Finished laundry and cleaning and got to bed around 1:30am. Loud rain w/ thunder all night, restless sleep!
Woke up to of course MORE rain and it was a cold rain too, not fun at all! Took the bus into Clownfish Club to meet a friend for brekkie.... he was 30 MINS late.... oh bother.... he is lucky that he got us FREE breakfast buffet or I would have been mad to wait the extra 30 mins, thanks for free brekkie Will! Yummy buffet, with all kinds of nice fruits and yogurts and eggs etc.. delicious!
From there I took the work Buggie (golf cart) to my place to finish packing and cleaning! Had to be out by 10am.... rain did NOT let up.... tried to carry all my luggage in garbage bags to the buggy under an umbrella... hard to do. Our buggy had NO rain covers on the sides... so rain came in from ALL angles.... sucked, I got soaked just driving!
I went by Ally's to drop things off to her that I was not taking from Hamilton Island and had to walk up a STEEP walkway in the rain in thongs (FLIP FLOPS) and they broke... good thing they pop back together:P
Said my goodbye to her.. drove into Clownfish Club to store my bags... which of course got wet in the moving process!
Tried to dry off and chill... blah!
Called home to Mum n Dad to say hi.. update them on my trip etc... phone cut out 3 times.. So Frustrating.... finally got to just say bye and talk soon!
Sally my boss took me to the airport for my 2:50pm flight... I wore a garbage bag over my body to the airport in the buggy... tried to get a ride in a van but they were all booked already!
Got to airport.... still pouring... and I was just READY to go.. ready to get off the island and start another adventure!
All flights were DELAYED and some were CANCELLED.. oh man.. I was praying I just get out alive.. lol.. no just get OFF this island TODAY!
Waited around and finally boarded my flight.. texting my friend RICH my flight info etc keeping him updated on my delay getting into Brisbane!
Flight was ok.... landed around 5pm in Brisbane... FINALLY! :) Free....
Got my bags which were SOAKED.... ya, still raining and they unload the bags in the rain so my stuff was all soaked :( Not happy!
Carry my wet bags... call Rich.. no answer... text a million times... NO reply :(
Called again and someone answered (thought it was his cell.. but seemed like a house number) and the guy on the other end said "I think Rich went to Canada" OH BOTHER...........
So upset, wet, tired, and a headache from this rain... made it the WORST DAY EVER!
Internet was NOT free in the airport either.. I waited around for an hour to see if Rich would call- nothing., so I booked myself into a dodgy hotel not far from airport!
Took shuttle van to my place- Kingsford Riverside Inn.
Room is fine, I am just happy to be out of the rain....
I called CVD to chat/vent about my day... always feels good to chat with her, she makes it all better:)
My lil hotel has free internet which makes things better and free brekkie :) so the night got a lil better!
I went to BP to buy a wrap and a Slurpee..... Slurpee's make things better too :)
Chillin here watching my fav show - Criminal Minds, still raining but at least I am inside with my clothes ALL over the room drying!
I got on FB to see that Rich had posted on my wall 5 hours ago that he got a NEW cell :P boys.... urgh
I was suppose to stay with him, but I already paid for this place, so I'll meet up with him tomorrow! Thankfully! At least I don't have to bus around and carry my luggage around all day!
My next flight is tues night at 11:20pm to Kuala Lampur and then onto Vietnam to see KRISTA!
Rain rain go away! Hope its sunny tomorrow!
I was thinking of going to Australia Zoo, the Steve Irwin one but its $57.00 to get in- sheesh!
Much love to CAROLYN for making me feel better on my shitty rainy day!
:)
Anytime, love!! Glad I could make you feel a teensy bit better and it sounds like tomorrow will be a much less stressy day!!!
