Howdy!
It was time for some retail therapy today (and to get some warmer clothes for when we go down south). So we headed off to the mini shopping centre. When we were there I found an amazing shop that I'm now obsessed with called Typo. It is like a station
ary/home wear shop and everything in it is soooo cool. I could have literally bought everything but I dont think it all would've fit in my suitcase! But I did buy some super awesome notebooks as they were 3 for 10 dollars (£5).
Howdy!
For today's activities we went to a neighbouring town for a wednesday market. It was massive! Full of crafts, clothes, jewelry, homeware, food etc. However nothing really that was my style so I got incredibly bored half way round but my aunt insisted we go around the WHOLE thing.
After about an hour and a half we decided to stop and head to the pub for a drink and lunch. We had chips and chicken wings. It was funny because the people on the table next to us were sophisticated with their steaks and knife and forks and here we were eating greasy chicken wings with our fingers like animals. (They kept hiving us funny looks but who cares, they were good)
Then we went home for a bit after going to the golf club. We left early so that we were able to see the sunset and hopefully kangaroos but we weren't so lucky with the second part. Like Sunday, the sunset was really pretty! We then proceeded to have dinner and play cards before going home to....you guessed it...play more cards!
I didn't take as many but here are some pictures!
Howdy!
I still cant believe I'm actually sticking to this, I'm hoping to last at least a week though. Today I woke up a lot later than I have been which was good. We then went to town to look around the shops, go to the bank and do some food shopping in Woolworths (or wollies as aussies call it). I always find it fascinating looking around a different countries supermarket to see all the different brands and foods they have! However I was surprised to see a lot of the things were exactly the same as in the UK.
After that we went back home and had lunch before taking a drive to halfway mountain and from there we walked right to the top. I always find walks very refreshing especially when I walk off ahead of everyone else and get some alone time with nature. Along the way I also saw some boys doing abseiling down the mountain which was very brave but I think I could do that one day!
At the top there was an absolutely breathtaking view of the land and rivers and sea in the distance. We just spent ages taking it all in and playing 'king of the Castle' as some might say. The walk wasn't too bad either and it was very sunny and warm which was a bonus.
After walking back down we headed home to play cards with grandma, have dinner (which was steak on the barbeque with corn on the cob) and play more cards.
The weather has been especially cold tonight however as long as you're inside with heating on its fine! During the day ever since I got here its been blue skies and nice and sunny which always makes everything feel better and in the sun it is incredibly warm!
Anyways here the pictures I took today:
