Day 118

Had to clean the bosses office and house area. Didnt take me more than 3 hours. Got paid $60 so not bad for a days work. Have to train new staff tomorrow. My replacement has finally arrived. Now i can leave. Still gonna be sad to leave...

Day 117

Rain is slowly stopping. Even had some sun. Working as usual. Have an extra job tomorrow for some money, then im leaving Thursday...

Day 116

Town has been hit  by a monsoon. Actually the whole East coast is in heavy rain fall. Its ridiculous. The rain is so heavy. Decided to stay on a bit longer. Was promised a day of paid work and then I'm gonna leave. My boss is also gonna set me up with work up the coast. Best decision Ive made so far, working here...

Day 115

Still working. Was recongnised by a shop keeper today. She said that id been here for a while. I said that i had...

Day 114

Still working...

Day 113

Worked. Nothing special happened...

Day 112

Had a Mexican fiesta night at the hostel. A leaving party for a few people who worked at the hostel. I created a Mexican play list. I just started off looking for Mexican songs. After a while i gave up and looked for Spanish songs, Latin songs, songs that sounded foreign and finally just dance music. We all drew on moustaches and made tacos and burriots. Was a good night...

Day 111

Didnt do much. Went surfing at the beach. Still suck at it...

Day 110

Went to the beach with some people from the hostel. Most of the people are really nice. One guy is so bloody boring. Its not even funny how boring he is. He just talks like a textbook. He asked me if i new what a platapus looked liked. I said i did and then he went on to decribe what it looked like even tho i obviously didnt give a shit. Annoying bastard.

Went back to the beach at night with some people. Watched the star. Saw a few shooting stars. Went for a swim. I say swim. Didnt exactly go into water deep enough to swim in. The water was really weird. When you disturbed it, it would glow with little spots of bright blue lights. Very stange. Looked amazing tho. Headed back to the hostel after a while. Stepped on a frog on the way back...

Day 109

Hostel picked up today. Had 32 people arrive (which is a lot) The reception was all over the place. In the evening we learned how to Poi. Its basically fire twirling but with glowing orbs instead of burning wool. Still good fun. Looks impressive when someone is good at it. I wasn't good at it...

Day 108

Hostel has been a bit quite the past few days. Not many people coming in or out. Usually do the tour guides but lately there has been no need. Today was boring...

Day 107

All was normal until the evening whne some guys showed up and turned the kitchen into some shitty club. A few disco lights and a fog machine. Really pissed me off. Im supposed to clean the kitchen in the evenings and thats hard to do when i have to clean around cables and massive lights. Had the right mind to beat them to death with there own equipment...

Day 106

Went to the beach for my 2nd attempt at solo surfing. The waves were huge. Couldn't even get out into the water before another wave would knock me off the board or back to the beach. Cant be helped, the waves were worse than Ive ever seen. Gave up on surfing and just had a swim for an hour. Went back tot he hostel for work. I like my daily routines...

Day 105

Slept for the better half of the day. Didn't really do much. Was really lethargic...

Day 104

Another day off. Went to the beach with some people from the hostel. Turned into a hike around the coast. We were looking for friends who had gone to the beach earlier that day. Never did find them. Did find a nice secluded beach. Lazed around all day and then back to the hostel. I'm lost without work. Have too much free time. Downloaded loads of movies and TV shows to kill the time...

Day 103

Had the day off work for once. Only had one job to do today and got payed for doing extra work. Only $25 but its not like I'm paying anything for accommodation. Went to the beach at night when everyone else had finished working. Never been swimming at night but it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. The water was actually warm. Been heated up for the past 12 hours i guess. Still good fun...

Day 102

Went to another party of some other guy that live in town. I'm pretty sure he was the biggest douche in this whole town. He had this huge place on top of a huge hill. It was a nice place. It was just decorated by a douche. The main room was just a bed, TV and a guitar. Obviously he just slept all day, watched TV, and every now and then played some shitty douche tunes about how hard life is or some crap. I walked out onto his balcony. His balcony was good. It over looked the whole of 1770. Too bad it looked like Tim Burton had sneezed on it. I don't know why he had UV lights, fake cobwebs and a sculptor made out of more UV lights. I never thought a balcony could be pretentious but i was proved wrong. There was another room which was set up like a DJ room. Just an empty space with a computer in the corner pumping music. This was obviously a douche pad. The only thing is the people who invited me didn't seems to see this. Only me. One conclusion is that the people i work with are also douche bags. The guy who owned the place looked 30, he had long hair in a ponytail and looks like he hasn't worn a clean shirt since he moved out from his parents house. Didn't stay long...

Day 101

Went to a party in the evening. A house party of some guy who works in town. He had a great place over looking the ocean. Had a few drinks and played some card games. Wasn't all that great. Pretty lame party. The people in the hostel had built it up to be this big thing. Not many people came. Even fewer stayed for more than an hour. Headed back early. Wasn't really in the mood to "party" to begin with...

Day 100

Did nothing for my 100th day. Just lazed about the hostel. Did my job in the evening. Nothing major...

Day 99

Nearly been in Australia for 100 days. Time has flown by. Ive worked out that i will be heading back in 10 weeks. Doesn't seem that long. Looking forward to getting home.

Me and the other people working in the hostel made sushi in the evening. It was a feast. Chicken, beef, salmon, prawns.we had it all. Made about 6 plates full. I had the job of cutting, and cut i did. By the end of it i was a professional. The sushi was actually amazing. Only $8 a head. We didn't even eat all of it...

Day 98

Went surfing in the morning. Not very good. Kept falling off. There was also hardly any waves. Every time one did come i would miss it or catch it at the wrong time and just fall off my board. Using a smaller board as well. Its a bit harder with a small board. Less balance. Spent 2 hours at the beach then headed back tot he hostel.

Did my check in shift and then my kitchen shift. Easy work. Had to train 2 new employee's staying at the hostel. Quite fun being the boss of someone else...

Day 97

Working still. Have a second job. I have to guide the new people at the hostel to there rooms and show them where everything is. Its actually a really stupid job. The hostel isn't big. There is only 10 rooms. I show them the TV room, the kitchen and the bathrooms then give them bed sheets and that's it. The stupidest question i got was "where is the kitchen" after i just showed where it is. Its not hard to miss. Its a huge room with fridges, cookers, people cooking. Apparently I'm very rude. Oh well. If saying "the bathroom is down this path, just use your powers of sight" is being rude, then I'm rude. I dont have time for idiots...

Day 96

Still working...

Day 95

Worked. Nothing really interesting going on. Will probably be a slow few days...

Day 94

Still hurting in the morning. Not as bad as yesterday. Will be going surfing tomorrow if the weather is good. Did very little today. Had to do some odd jobs in the morning. Was woken up early by some stupid Canadians packing up and leaving. Apparently inland is all flooded by rainfall. The little town of Agnes water is almost an island separate from the mainland now. Its funny. I knew it was the wet season in Australia but i didn't think it would cause flooding. I miss London weather. The worst we got was heavy snow which stopped people getting to work for a day or two. A town west of here had to evacuate 5000 people due to flooding. British people really need to stop complaining about the weather...

Day 93

spent all day recovering. I woke up in pain. I could lie down because my neck was killing me. Painful to walk. Painful to move my arms. I must have really over done it yesterday. By the time it came to my cleaning shift i felt a bit better. Also had to do someone elses job as they were late. Got 3 free beers out of it. I reckon i will still be in pain tomorrow. Too bad, i was planning on surfing tomorrow...

Day 92

Surf lesson in the morning. Apparently I'm a natural. Not sure if the instructor was blowing smoke up my ass or if he actually meant it. Was the first to stand up. It didn't last long as i fell off soon after. Stood up a few times. I had the pop up technique down. I found it really easy. Just go from lying on your board to standing as fast as possible. Some people didn't find it that easy. I have a surfer build the instructor said. Tall and slim with a good core strength. My balance was good. However my timing was shit. Hard to catch the wave at the right time. All the waves i missed made me paddle back out. My arms, back and neck were killing me by the end. Its not easy to keep your head up whilst paddling and looking out for waves. Had a few bad drops. One in the deep. Not the strongest swimmer. Also nearly broke my nose. Fell off my board in the surf. Turned around to find another wave carrying my board right towards my face. Manged to put my arm up and stop it. Still bloody good fun. Didn't realise how tired i was until the end. Will definitely do it again.

Went to a cafe for breakfast after. Bacon and eggs. Australian bacon is actually way better than British bacon. Its just thicker and tastier. Watched a fat women at the opposite table talking to her friend. She was going on about her diet and some surgery she was thinking of getting to suck the fat out of her. The worst part is whilst she was talking about this she was eating, what looked like, a sack of cheese. It was actually kinda funny because she looked like a sack of cheese. You are what you eat. As i thought of this i started laughing and I'm pretty sure she knew i was laughing at her. 

Had my cleaning shift again. Its not bad work. The person I'm working with is annoying. Shes just rude. I don't bother talking to her. My boss gave me a cider for my hard work and i chilled out for the rest of the evening...
