Day three of our amazing trip! This morning we had to meet Colin at 8 to go and pick up our mopeds! We got to the place and were given instructions on how to drive them. All the mopeds were named and we got to pick our own. My bikes name was Elmo and she was red. She got up to about 56 kilometers. We all just scooted around the island all day and stopped at all the bays, beaches, and hiking trails. We went on a long hike up to one of the highest points on the island called The Forts Lookout and saw Koalas in the trees along the way. On this walk we saw look out buildings from WWII and saw where Japan bombed Australia. We got to watch the sunset as we drove through the hills on the island. There was a place called Wallaby World that just had hundreds of wallabies all over in caves and along a jetty of rocks. Even though they were wild they were not scared of people and we were able to feed them right out of our hands. Tonight we played Bingo at the base and a lot of people from our group won different things like beers, money, and a room upgrade. Colin got a Chalet for one night and drew our names out of a hat to see who would get to sleep in it. I WON! Woohoo I got to pick 4 people to join me in the Chalet so I chose Kristina, Alissa, Lauren and Rudy. A few of us decided to keep our scooters for the night so we could have them the next day too so Alissa, Kristina, Lauren, Rudy, Johnny, Logan, Brian, and John took them out for a late night cruise. It was so fun but scary too because the wild animals would just run out right in front of us. I almost hit a Wallaby. This trip is so much fun, and we are all loving every minute of us. Its hard for me to get used to these backpackers because I get grossed out by everything but I haven’t been too bad so far. I just try not to think about how dirty it really is and cover myself from head to toe when I go to bed.
