Saturday 3rd September - Cheat day yay!

Today we had the longest lie in since we been in Aus and managed to sleep until 11am. Gaz was a little hung over from the night before (lightweight). We attempted to join the 24hour gym for the third time but unless you are a member, you cant get in. I tapped on the door and someone opened it "erm are you a member?" he asked...."erm well we are trying to become members but theres never anyone in!" i replied. A girl behind the desk said we have to come between 7am-7pm monday - thursday to join. we shall try again on monday after work!

We grabbed some essentials for tonights home cooked curry before heading out for a stroll with the camera. Gaz stopped in the local fishing shop and picked up a nice rod etc. which he is happy about...so now he can get cracking with catching my dinner! We headed over the road to the beach and was surprised to see the younger generation of Hervey Bay was out socialising with one another. The boys and girls integrated with one another doing back flips off the railings which we were quite impressed at and i even managed to get some quick action snaps of them! We had a stroll up the pier to where a boy, no older than 11 was stood with his fishing rod trying to catch fish. He didnt have any bait on the end of his hook, but when the fish swum by, he would yank the rod upwards to try and hook them. He ended up catching a huge fish! He didnt have a knife on him so very cruely he just put the suffocating fish into his rucksack before carrying on with his fishing. We left at this point.

Back at the house Gaz played on the computer and i had a little nap...Its hard work waking up at 11am! We cooked a mediocre chicken tikka masala which wasnt amazing but was still better than the one we had in the indian restaurant! As it is cheat day, i treated Gaz to an ice cream at the ice cream parlor down the road.

Afterwards, we went to the pub in Hervey Bay hotel and listened to a young lad singing songs with his guitar over a can of diet coke...hardcore! It was a shame because the guy had a great voice and was very nice to listen to but the pub was so empty! he sung his heart out to a crown of 10 people....2 of which were his parents. We headed home and had the chance to show Gareths parents around the house on skype. Im heading for bed now ready for my first riding lesson in the morning - yay!
