Haven't updated in a couple days, been a little lazy...trying to keep up
Sunday, Amalia and I tried to hike up Mt. Kiera. Well, we finally found a sign with a map, after hiking and around and going the wrong way. Tried to follow the path and needed to reach a trail that shot off the main path. That didn't happen. Trailheads are very poorly marked. Instead of getting to Mt. Kiera, we made it to Mt. Pleasant? Meaning, we passed Mt. Kiera. On the way saw some little black creature that looked like a porcupine, maybe, but was black and had yellow spots. At the end of the Mt. Pleasant track, I found a leech on my ankle! Never thought I'd get a leech on me whilst hiking...for some reason I decided to wear ankle socks instead of hiking socks.
That night we all went out. They had a party bus, a bus with pulsing lights and the middle was for dancing, take us too and from the bars...FO FREE! How convenient is that? Greeeeat night out. Lots of dancing. Tried to get on stage where the band was playing, but the guitarist wasn't having it :( lame. Came back to floor and more of a good time ensued.
Next day, Valentine's Day, bright and early at breakfast Louis showed up!! So awesome, so glad to see him. Walked down the beach with some people and got smoothies. On the way back it started pouring down rain and we got caught in it. Kind of fun, but super cold.
Today was much better weather! Before lunch the sun started to come out and it was glorious. Spent most of the day on the beach, sunning and enjoying the beautiful ocean. Played in waves a lot, except until I almost drowed! The waves were getting pretty large and I got carried away a bit out further into the ocean. Then the current kept pushing me towards a section where you weren't supposed to swim since the waves were too big. Luckily, one guy and Louis swam over to help out...even the cute lifeguard started wading into the waters. How embarrassing!! Scary, but I survived and burried Louis in sand.
It's sooo nice here, I love it and all the people! Tomorrow, I think Amalia and I will try to actually find Mt. Kiera. Hopefully we get there!
