Tuesday October 16th

Another day off :)  So amazing!! Nicola stayed home from work today so she made us breakfast and we hung out for a bit and found out that Sarah came home from work early .. really early .. she was home by 11am! So we all went for a walk to the botanical gardens.  We walked around for about 3 hours and then Sarah and I went shopping (I didnt buy anything, surprisingly) and decided we are going on a diet because we are eating too much here. lol as if we just realized that with 3 weeks left.  Speaking of food for dinner Sarah, Steph and I went on a Pirate Dinner Cruise.  We had a buffet dinner on a pirate ship.  I got to help the "lead mate" hoist the sail and then take them down when we were heading home.  It was so much fun.  Dinner was really good as well, prawns (shrimp), pasta, bread, potato salad, chicken kabobs, sausage and onions.  And then Cream Puffs for dessert.  YUMMYY! While we were eating we just sailed around the harbour and the "Lead Made" gave us the history of the harbour (dont ask me what it was we were too busy laughing at the group of drunk old ladies sitting next to us)  These old ladies were soooo funny.  They bought the ticket with unlimited drinks and boy did they take advantage of that.  They were so funny and telling us where we had to go, outside of the city, the next time we come to Australia.  And as long and they arent "pushing daises" (as the one lady put it) we could visit them in Queensland.  That would be so much fun, they were awesome.  After all the excitement of the pirate ship and freezing our butts off, Sarah and I went to the jacuzzi in the apartment and then made hot chocolate and had cake, (this was our exception night for our diet because of the pirate dinner). haha
