Last night in Airlie Beach

After showering at least twice and buying anti itch lotion we got to our room and met the 4 englishmen we would be rooming with for the night, and they were quite the bunch. A couple of us decided we wanted to hit up the town one last time and headed to the bars with the english gentleman and got drinks at Magnums bar, then found a safari bar to go to the bathroom. At this place the name was true, it was covered in animal print,and fake trees and animals all over, there was even and elephant! Even the bathroom was jungle themed there were lions on the toilets! We drank and danced there for a little while before heading back to magnums,when one of the english guys thought he lost his photocopy of his passport, reason he only had a photocopy as an id was because he lost his drivers license AND his passport! So he couldn't get into any other bar so we headed back to our hostel. We noticed one of the girls in our group was getting friendly with one of the english boys, and tried to peel her away but she wan't having any of that, they went off together and we headed back to our room, which was also the english chaps room as well... Well long story short, little did we know that they were crazy one got naked and was running around the room screaming another tried getting into bed with out bed bug covered miserable roommate who was trying to sleep and another spilled ramen noodles all over our floor. moral of the story don't mess with a girls who is covered with bed bug bites and is exhausted and miserable at 3:00 AM...We did not get much sleep, and to top it off our friend who left with the other British man didn't return until morning, because this is a PG blog the details of her story of events from the previous evening have been omitted purely for her shame...I will add however we did end up finding her missing underwear that morning before checking out of the hostel. At this point in the trip we were all very ready to get back to Townsville and SHOWER! we headed to the check out when I realize I couldn't find my room key anywhere, still to this day I have no idea where it ended up, had to pay 25.00$ fee to replace it. We were off newly tatted and bitten to our greyhound back to the 'Ville when on the beach we passed camels!? At this point in the trip we were no longer surprised by anything laughed snapped pictures and off we went. I think I spelt the whole 6 hour ride!
