Day Thirteen – Townsville – Family Celebrations

I felt worse this morning that I have for the whole trip probably because I let the sleep catch up with me instead of keeping on going but I think my body probably needed it. We went of for breakfast with some of Matt and Emily’s friends, Linda, Adrian, Fee and Daisy.

After breakfast we went for an ice cream on the sea front before shopping for a few different things: some Christmas decorations, Christmas presents, fancy dress. When we got back we sat by the pool, I sat in the sun for maximum 20mins without cream and nearly burned just proving how crazy the sun is here. I enjoyed a good swim, jumping in and messing around with Matt.

After the swim we cleaned up and went for a curry which was damn good but I felt so full cause I’ve just started eating a lot where in Cairns I hardly ate anything. We then went for cocktails, which were incredible espresso martinis which woke me up and got me drunk at the same time, perfect. Emily was a bit tired and needed to not have a hangover so she can study so she went home and we ended up doing a bit of s pub crawl. From my impressions of Townsville I’ve noticed that there’s a lot of young, pretty people here and the city is trying to capture hipsterisms and isn’t doing too badly. I definitely look at it and feel like it’s somewhere I could easily live.

We had a great time, Adrian joined us and we just chilled messing around before heading to the Mad Cow for a great night of dancing.
