Today was the first day of our 2 week course taught by Colin. We started with Brekki buffet at the Surf Club. It was really good, and the restaurant was closed for just us. It was awesome we at brekki right on the beach with a beautiful view of the pacific. There were lots of surfers and boats out. Alissa, Kristina, and I tried the famous Vegemite this morning! Its this dark brown, bitter, and extremely salty spread that they use equivalent to our peanut butter. Everyone loves it here, but we thought it was disgusting! After brekki we met up with a lifeguard who taught us some important things to be aware of while in the pacific such as rips, sharks, stingrays, and jelly fish. From there we all got "go cards" or bus passes. We use the public buses a lot to get around. We all took the bus to the mall and did some shopping. The mall was an inside outside kind of place and was so big. After figuring out the buses on our own, and getting back to our apartments a bunch of us went on a long walk down the beach. Alissa dropped her phone in the ocean.. such a bummer. We met some kids that went to primary school near by and they showed us where some crabs and fish were. They were so cute with their accents. After the walk we all relaxed by the pool and hot tub. I was laying on a beach chair and out of the corner of my eye I saw this creepy animal a foot away from me. I freaked out! It was a possum!
