Yeah this day didn’t start that good. Got up with a cold and a headache as well so I tried to get some sleep in the reading room while charging my iPod and camera but yeah it didn’t really help. So I got to know some girls and one of those gave me a painkiller which really helped. I went shopping as well and drink a lot which made me going out that night to cheeky monkeys again

This day was pretty shit, I got up pretty late. I went to the yoga course with Allison the canadian girl and didn’t feel that good. I didn’t drink that much so I was dehydrated which was the reason for not feeling well. We went to the Beach to chill out and afterwards we met Silas to have something to eat. He told us to go to the church because there is a food for free which is supposed to be very good. You can donate of course for eating there. So we went to the church and got something to eat. From then on my headache become much more of a problem and I just got Allison to the bus station as she was leaving to Sydney. After that I went home to get some sleep, I was thinking about goin to partying again but stayed home and tried to sleep, which didn’t really work.

This day was amazing, I mean I was just hanging around the whole day and yeah tried to get my camera fixed but there is nothing they can do about that here. Had some dinner and then all of a sudden there was Bree. She was working in Noosa in Koalas where I stayed and we really had a lot of fun, got free nights as well

Anyway she wanted me to come to Cheeky Monkeys what I did then. Before I was hanging around with some guys in the pool drinking some cheap Goon :-). I went to Cheeky Monkeys at about 9.30 and waited for some friends to come as well.

MTV was there as well to take videos of some competition but unfortunately I was too late to join them. However I met a few nice girls, one American, one Swedish I think and yeah Bree, shes from Australia, Noosa. Ciaran, his friend and some of my other friends were drinking a lot :-). Got quite drunk and somehow I started kissing Bree who was working there, and her manager saw that as well mhh… She is probably a few years older than me, but she’s hot! Not to mention what she did when we went for a little walk outside of the bar. We didn’t have intercourse but it got quite hot if you know what i mean… I went home drunk and got sleep in the chilling room again… near the reception.

Yesterday was a pretty nice day and I went out with my Canadian mates, Lane and a couple. After they left I stayed with some guys from England who I met in Surfers. Was quite fun big waves, not as big as in Surfers still it was a lot of fun. Getting back at about 3 there was a Bush Walk in Arts factory the best Hostel I ever stayed in. There was a guy showing how to survive in wilderness, how to find water in plants, how to get medicine to help against sunburn, wounds out of tree juice and stuff like that. What plants u can eat and how to make tropical toilette paper It was amazing and in the end we all got free wine and water and donated for such a good time we had. In the evening I went to Cheeky Monkeys which is supposed to be the best place to go out. Just before I got myself goon and talked to some guys in my hostel, its so chilling so relaxed and everybody is nice.

In cheeky Monkeys I met a few people I had seen on my travels before, which is not a surprise. It was great fun, nice people nice girls and in the end I met Ciaran my Irish mate. He is my best friend, a really nice guy to hang around with. And his friend was fun as well. Apart from that I got to know 2 girls. I ended up leaving at about 3 or 4 and my mates George & co went to the bakery. It was raining like hell when i came back to my hostel and the fact i was staying in a tent made me sleeping in the hostels chilling room next to the reception.

This day after partying a lot, breaking my fucking camera I got up and called Ava that persian girl and we met up. She was with me until I got a lift from my hostel to the bus station. She is really cute but I’m still not sure about her age.

Anyway I was asked for my passport the first time on a Greyhound. The fact it was in my backpack was very annoying, I had to get my whole stuff out and dropping all my cards from my wallet. However I made it and said goodbye to Ava.

I arrived in Byron and waited for Lane that Canadian guy to pick me up and we went to the Hostel. It was amazing seeing the markets and heaps of people dancing on the streets. I think almost everyone in the hostel was stoned even those Canadian guys, too many joints, cookies whatever :-). It was funny couldn’t believe where I am after leaving Surfers Paradise.

That evening I went out with those guys I met in Surfers to the Beach House. It wasn’t too bad for a Sunday night.

This day was like any other day laying on the beach etc. Except one thing was different I met a girl from Persia. I was seeing her in the water and she kept staying in my area so I started talking to her. She was with a friend from Australia. We were talking and went to Mcdonalds to have food. She used to live in New Zealand and moved to the Gold Coast to do her High School.

Anyway we met up again in the evening in front of an Irish pub which wasn’t that good. The Party Cruise already started and because she didn’t have that much time I stayed with her and moved on with the Party Bus to the new Location later. So I went with Ava to some Gaming Hall. We played some games and did pictures of ourselves. I brought her back to the Bus station cause this day she had to be at a Persian meeting. Myself I went on with the party cruise. Except the drinks I didn’t enjoy many of those guys and girls. The fact that my camera broke was annoying me as well. The display was broken. But then I met my best mate Ciaran. I met him accidentilly on the street on my way to a club. We had a great night out, thanks mate!

This day however I was on the beach and wanted to go shopping… I called my friends who wanted me to come to have a few drinks. Myself I got a beer for 4 bucks but they got lots of drinks for 12 to 14 bucks or something. They paid 74 bucks only for a few drinks and went shopping before. I went food shopping instead. After that they asked me whether I wanna go to their Hotel to eat some food. I joined those girls and they made something vegetarian.. It was very tasty indeed. We had some drinks as well. The girls dressed up and we made our way to my hostel so I could dress up as well. All of a sudden it began to rain and it was that heavy those girls had to leave because they were totally wet. Myself I got wet as well and asked those guys from the reception how many people would be joining the party cruise on wednesday. When they said 5 I thought myself I better go to bed, it was raining heavily and the girls left and I had a bit too much of goon anyway.

Today I was walking through whole Brisbane, Botanic Garden, the lagune and other places. It was nothing really special. Anyway on the bus station I got to know 3 girls, 2 from Melbourne who I talked to for quite a bit. They were really nice and we exchanged numbers to meet up again for partying. That other girl was from England. She just finished her 3 months farm-work to stay another year in Australia. This made me thinking about staying another year as well, I wasn’t sure atthis point of time.

We took the bus together to Surfers Paradise. I booked the hostel Sleeping Inn Surfers. When I arrived they said they would pick me up in a few minutes at Bay number 14. Suddenly I saw a limousine arriving which parked in Bay 13. But as soon as the driver got out of teh car he asked me if I was Riccardo. I was like yes, that’s me, is that my lift to my hostel. I was so suprised about this service Ofc it wasn’t the newest and most luxurious limo but it was a lot better than I expected. This has been now the second time for me in a limo :-) The hostel was quite nice, there was only one thing bothering me a lot, it was very hot in there and we only had one fan, which didn’t make a difference at all. In the evening the girls I met at the bus stop and me went out. I liked the blond one, she was cute.
