So Tandri finally got to go golfing! After a bus ride and then a taxi ride, we finally made it to the course. It was a little different golfing with palm trees as opposed to dauphins nice course. And there were birds everywhere..yuckk. But it was funny because someone hit one right in the head and it just died right on the tee box. haha. We didnt go until late afternoon but it was still sooooo hot out...thanks Bev for the hat! We are going to try and find different courses that are easier to get to. We are starting to feel like this is more home now. Everyone here is so laid back and it seems like they are on 
vacation all year. During the day it gets quite busy around the city center but even more at night. Everyone here goes out for supper and the night life is crazy! Every Wednesday and Friday night they have a market all along the beach where people bring their homemade crafts, food, and basically anything they think that they can sell. One guy worked all day and made a chameleon out of sand, its was really cool. We went to WetnWild yesterday- the huge waterpark. They had some of the craziest waterslides we had ever seen but the lineups were even more crazy. We stayed in line for two hours and only got on two waterslides! They had an awesome wave pool though that we
were in most of the day because it was +35 so we couldnt stand in line for too long! There was some pretty funny pictures of us coming down the slides...lol. We went out for supper after for "kebabs" which are so good. They have little restaurants all over selling them. But they arent like shishkabobs they are more like a gyro/wrap. Everyone eats them down here. We are still trying to find a kangaroo...no luck yet. Officially the first animal we have seen that is new to us is a camel..haha. Yep thats it. So we really need to get to a zoo or something! Just thought I would post a picture of the view we get to see from our place....
pretty nice hey. Some funny things we have learnt here...1)Mcdonalds has pasta kid meals 2)Burger King here is called Hungry Jacks 3) They spell tires with a y..Tyres and we are learning new crazy stuff each day. lol. Australia Day was today but not to much normal then any other day. Lots of people dressed up in patriotic clothes and drank all along the beach...thats another thing thats so different here, they all carry open alcohol and just drink wherever. And there was a live band and more markets everywhere. We didnt stay up to late though because we are still screwed up from the time change. So tomorrow we are off to Sea World and will hopefully get better pictures and see some animals. G'night!
