Day Thirty-Two – Alice Springs – New Year’s Day

The last thing I did in 2014 was get pissed and the first thing I did in 2015 was he pissed. This is a sad truth for many people across the world.

I woke up with a pretty banging headache so headed to the pool with Ed, Angie and Josh. A little tradition of ours family’s is a New Year’s Day swim so it felt right to continue it. I spent the morning repenting from the night before and soothing the headache with the water.

After a hungry jacks we all took a New Years nap before heading out for dinner for my last night in Alice Springs and my last night in Australia. We went Tempo a tapas bar in the casino. It was pretty good and showed me that there are nice places to eat and Alice isn’t all as bad as Ed and Angie make it out to be.

Although we were all exhausted, it was my last night so we decided to played cards against humanity As there were so few of us we picked a random card to put in the mix named as ‘Bailey’s’ and in ashamed to say she nearly beat me. Clearly the lack of sleep meant I was not on form.

I slept well: happy, sleepy and with a full stomach.
A good start to 2015.

Day Fourteen – Townsville – Repenting During the Hunger Games

Had an extremely early start considering the lateness of our debauchery the night before. We quickly rushed to get our act together because we wanted to go see a house Emily and Matt want to buy.

We then went to the market to pick up some juice and potatoes so that Matt could cook us up a mean English breaky.

I’m a bit ashamed to say I spent most of the rest of the day sleeping and repenting for the escapades from the night before.

Because it had been such a lazy day we decided to go to the cinema to see the new hunger games. It seems like there are so many new build and businesses in Townsville and the cinema was one of them. It was no Slough cinema I’ll tell you that. So we watched the movie with a lot of power napping during. I think it was a good movie!

Climbing in to bed this night never felt so good. The past few weeks have just been catching up with me.
