Urunga!

Day 4 - Urunga

Liam and I woke up to an empty house around 8:30. Ross had left for school (sucka!), as did Diantha, Pat had gone fishing with a friend, and Diantha’s two friends had gone on a walk. Liam and I took this opportunity to relax a bit and write/post the blog. The pictures took a while to upload because of the dial-up internet. After about two hours of blogging, we went on a short walk around the block. When we came back to the house, I found a blue-tongued lizard just outside the back door catching some rays.

I took a short nap and when I woke up, Pat was back. He drove us into town and dropped us off near a nice walking location. We spent a few hours walking on a beautiful path to the beach.

After our walk we were famished, so Liam and I stopped at a corner store to buy a couple snacks. We got Australian salt and vinegar potato chips (honestly, I have no idea how they differ from American chips) and a hazelnut snickers bar each. Pat picked us up around 3:30 and we arrived at the house around the same time that Ross did. We hung out for a while, trying to figure out what to do. I took yet another short nap and woke up around 7:30 to a dinner of hamburgers with beets, which were quiet scrumptious. After the meal, Ross invited over a few of his friends and we walked around town. They were very nice and we exchanged questions about each others countries and people. Their names were Freya, Erika, and Luke. The girls were twins and we wound up at their house until about 2 in the morning. Thank goodness for the naps! We spent most of the time talking and watching football and rugby. We returned to Ross’ house and crashed.
