So today we finished day 5 on our tomato farm here in Bundaberg. As Olivia said (or did she? Can't remember) it's hard work, but so much better than our last farm work on the potato farm, I think. What bothers me the most, except for the lack of payment, is that my knees and my back start hurting very badly after a few hours. After the first day I could scarcely walk, and my big toe on my right foot has been numb ever since. Hopefully I will get stronger and it won't hurt as much, and if not, well.. I'll survive.

After working 7h there I'm super tired, and my top 3 hobbies is now buying food and comparing prices so we get the best deal possible (super savor!!), cooking food and watching movies/reading a book. Feels like I'm not really a hostel person haha, especially while working. But it's fun to always have someone to talk to at least.

Bad things that happened today: I only got 9 buckets done, and we got a flat tyre on the car :'(

Good things: Got 9 buckets done! (6 is enough to cover rent for the day), and we got a new tyre to the car!

Yes! We finally found farm work, so last wednesday we drove up to Bundaberg. We're working in a tomato farm, which would be a pretty good job if we could actually earn some money from it. We get paid 4.80 per bucket, and a bucket takes around 30min to fill. So the pays super bad. But still not worse than that summer when me and Emma worked at the kiosk on the golf court and had to split the pay. But back then I didnt have to pay for accomodation, food and gas.

Anyways, we work fron 6.30 to around midday (most often) so we have some spare time at least. Bundaberg is quite nice, 20min drive to the beach and stuff. Everyone at the hostels super nice so we've made some friends. Me and Emma are on a super tight food budget (both because we wanna try to save money but also because its kinda fun to try) and we've found this shop that sells locally produced vegetables and such, so today we went there and bought food for the whole week. It's pretty much vegetarian except for eggs. So far we've made veggie tacos, some kind of stew and mushroom burgers. Super much yum!

Me and Emma tried to go snorkeling but she saw a fish and got scared. Maybe next time!

Hugs!!!!

So wednesday we arrived to Brisbane! After accidently driving through the whole city we parked the car and checked in at the hostel. Not my fav hostel of all time but it's cheap as (20$/night!). We been doing some touristing including some sick animal encounters! Like feeding kangaroos, hugging koalas, cuddling snakes and so on. We even went to some kind of private showing of super venomous snakes! Super cool. Here's some pics.

So we've spent the last couple of days in Bryon bay, and I loved it! Such a relaxed place. The hostel was awesome too. Became friends with the two British guys in our room so we hung out with them, went to the beach and partied. Today we left for Brisbane, but we stopped at Surfers paradise where we are right now!

Today we explored Bondi beach and its surroundings!

Hey all!
Yesterday we arrived to Sydney and so far we've had a great time! After driving all day we checked in at the hostel around 9 pm, got ready and went straight for the goon they were serving at the hostel.. hehe.. then everyone went to a club called scary canary and danced. Today we joined the guided tour around the city, but it was only the three of us and the guide lol. Had a great time anyways! Here's pics:
