What’s up!
After our big walk up the hill to Lone Pine yesterday, Mr Croft decided to give us the day off.
Everyone had the most chilled day, it was great (: We didn’t have to meet downstairs until 10:00, so Ashleigh and I skipped breakfast and slept in till 9:45. We had our little meeting and were told to meet back at the hotel at 1:00 to get money for lunch. We formed our little groups, ours consisting of me (Chloe), Ashleigh, Jonty, Keegyn, Mum (Kylie), Jamie and Ash Hollins. We spent the whole morning shopping! Was so, so good!
It was amazing to see how many gold shops there are here, and how cheap it all is! One whole street was pretty much all jewellery shops. I bought a pair of jeans, Ashleigh got a dress and some shorts and stuff, and the boys just kind of followed us around. We got through one whole street, looking in almost every shop before it was almost 1 o’clock. We made our way back to the hotel and Mrs Walkerden gave us our money for lunch.
Our group found this really nice kebab shop, as that is very popular here! It was yummy and really filling.
After lunch we continued with our shopping. There wasn’t really much left we had to buy, Ashleigh and I found a nice pair of shoes each and the adults got watches and stuff. We bought some fruit to take back for later on and then went back to the hotel at 3:00, to chill before tea at 7:00. Everyone just sat around in their rooms, on computer, listening to music and some people went for a walk to look at the Trojan Horse.
Ashleigh went for the walk, but I didn’t. She said it showed how the town used to be, and that it was really interesting and nice; although she couldn’t live how those people had to. Before long it was time for tea. Everyone had showered and was in the lobby by 6:45.
Jamie picked the restaurant for tonight; it was a nice little place on the shore. We got there and ordered. I got cheese pizza, chips and ice cream. Others got pasta and chicken, but everyone got ice cream for dessert. The restaurant was weird, it was giving us our mains before entre, and some people even got dessert first! It was 2 and a half hours before everyone got there food and finished. The wait was really bad and the restaurant was a bit unorganised, but in the end the food was really good.
At about 9:30 we got back to the hotel, we were told we would have to be downstairs by 7:30 in the morning, as we have another day of touring at ANZAC cove! Hearing this, everyone went up to their rooms for an early night.
We are having a great time and miss everyone back home.
Chloe and Ashleigh (: (:
