Escape Day set to Friday

So the situation is getting pretty drastic. We're determied not to spend any money as we're saving for the 2 week mega adventure up the coast that we've just booked. So we can't really go out much. At the same time we don't want to stay in the yoga place - there is nothing to do and the vibes aren't good. Las night I got woken up by someone making a lot of noise in the kitchen - I thought someone was breaking into the place, since we're alone at night. It turns out to be another helper: A forty-year old woman from New Zealand, who as I've learnt today, regurlarly comes to stay at the yoga centre and is here this time to supervise the helpers and make sure they're doing their tasks correctly, since, apparently, jobs aren't always effectively completed. Great. We were kinda enjoying having the place to ourselves, but now we've got an annoying woman assessing our work throughout the day. And she's a bit strange, she just stares at us and says nothing. Isn't there anyone normal here?? Elena says that she can't be normal is she keeps coming back here...
Yesterday our task was quite good. We were sent to an area of Brisbane called West End and told to leave leaflets and put posters up in cafes etc. People were extremely friendly and were more than happy for us to leave our shitty leaflets. So it was nice to come accross some friendly Aussies.
We're doing the same tomorrow, only in another area. And it's our last day!!! We've just booked out holiday/ It lasts 2 weeks and starts on Friday. Getting us to Cairns on the 23rd, perfectly timed to start work at the tropical fruit winery near Port Douglas. We're desperately hoping that the hosts there are nice and welcoming!
So that is all for now.
Just to make you a little bit jealous I'm gonna tell you about some of the activities we have booked: tour of Fraser island (the biggest sand island in the world - with two lakes included, and whale spotting), sea kayaking with dolphins, Magnetic island (which has a huge natural park), 3 day tout of the Whytsunday islands (said to be the most beautiful group of island in Australia - we're gonna be sleeping in a boat), and a day trip to the reef, with a 6 hour snorkelling course included. I'm kinda scared to get too excited, I'm a little bit sceptical after this Brisbane fiasco, but it should be great.
Touch wood.

  1. I'm really happy you're getting out, Louise. Remember to take something when you leave...it's a tradition.
