surprise trip

this weekend a lot of people were going out of town, some people were going camping and some people were going to surf camp (something that you signed up for a while ago). so friday night, neille, spencer, charlie and i thought it would be fun to go somewhere and spend the night in a hostile and see a little more of australia. so the 4 of us got up early saturday morning and hoped on a bus to nelson bay, which is north of newcastle, and spent the night in a hostile and spent some time together. we went into the bay when we got there. how ever when we got there it started to get cloudy and the locals said that the rain would pass us and keep going. we hoped so too cause we were hoping to go on a dolphin cruise. which we did! however as soon as we got to the boat it started to rain...and then stopped....and then started pouring!
now on this cruise we rode out to the middle of the bay to see the dolphins, and on the side of the boat you could climb into a net and be in the water with the dolphins. the 4 of us did not want to pass it up, especially when we got to the bay and saw over 20 dolphins. when we got into the net it started really raining on us, but we stayed in for a little while and then got back onto the boat and got some tea and warmed up.
when we got back to land we stopped at a few shops to get some ideas for presents for people back home and i got some board shorts that are the australian flag, they are pretty sweet.
that night we ordered pizza, played pool, and hung out with the people from our hostile. it was a lot of fun meeting people from europe and playing games with them.
this morning (sunday) we got up and came home on the bus to get ready for the RUGBY game today. oh and it also is daylight savings here, we went back a hour. so there's that piece of information for you.
i'll be putting up pictures later, along with some rugby pictures :)
hope you are all doing well and enjoying the blog!
love, allison
