Bagara

Ahh, yes a night in the beautiful town of Bagara. This was quite awhile ago so i don't know if i will get it all right but there wasn't too much going on anyway. So after a long and arduous day on the bus we pulled into Kelly's beach resort with a mighty gusto. The big green bus, one of the last ones i was to see seeing as how the Oz Experience has changed over to Australia Adventure Travel and smaller busses, screeched in to a halt and our driver announced a former a chippendale would be on shortly to tell us what was up for the night. It was the usual come buy our group dinner for $10 and buy everything from us because you have no choice, either in coming here or buying our product. This is the bad thing about Oz, they make you go on their route. This route includes almost all places i would have wanted to go but also includes a bunch of shitters such as Bagara and Kelly's Beach Resort. Bagara is a beach suburb of Bundaberg famous for their rum and ginger beer. Famous is a comparative word down here because the giant prawn and giant mango get quite a bit of publicity as well. They do grow a ton of sugar around here though and we were told to take golf clubs to the cane toads if we saw them because they are a nuisance and another one of those species introduced to Australia with no natural predators.

So the place we get is pretty sweet. A little bungalow/cabin kinda thing that is still a dorm but we have our own kitchen, bathroom, and even a tv. Needless to say we took full advantage of the tv for we hadn't been able to choose what we wanted to watch in ages. When there are about 20 folks sitting around watching you can't just flip through channels as i would prefer. Yeah so there was a room with 4 beds and a loft with 3. I went with the loft because it was just a lot cooler (not temp obviously) up there. Made some noodles with crappy homemade marinara and then played cards for quite some time. Both games i hadn't played before - Wist and Shithead. yeah crazy times. There were a couple of English girls who were pretty cool and also in Hervey with us in the cabana and then the Dane guys, Jo, John, and myself. Good night but we never found the beach and the spa that was promised obviously wasn't working. I have figured out that anything good about a place is sure not to work. I don't know why but I'm sure some famous philosopher once said something about it. I will add it to my list to google when i get home. I could do it here but when internet is $5 an hour i pay to keep you's guys informed. Hope you guys are all doing well and would love to hear what you have been up to. Cheers.
