Location: Mooloolaba (pronounced Ma-loo-laba)
Entry by Madison
May 21st was our last day in Airlie Beach and I’d say that 6 days was definitely enough time and was glad to be moving on. We checked out of our hostel and got in a bit more sun tanning. The rest of our day was spent reading and relaxing at the hostel until it was time to head to the bus.
So it turns out a 16 hr bus ride isn’t very fun, let me tell you!
I managed to put my body in a number of interesting sleeping positions, all of which were not comfortable. To be fair it went pretty quickly and I could think of worse ways to travel but I’m still glad to have that ride over with. The bus dropped us off in Maroochydore (pronounced Ma-roo-chee-door) and then our hostel picked us up and took us to Mooloolaba. The waves here are crazy! There are tons of surfers and all of them are nuts because I’ve never seen such huge waves. Apparently its because its been raining a lot and there were even flood warnings the past few days! We walked around a bit and bought some groceries but nothing exciting. It’ll be early to bed because of our lack of sleep on the bus and then it’s zoo day tomorrow!
Favourite moment:
Madison- Getting off the bus and being so close to the zoo
Sara- Seeing the huge waves.
