Easter Weekend, part 3--Moreton island Sunday

okie finally i've got time to blog about this and i'm already back in singapore. sighh. this has already been more than a month ago.

Anyway, that morning we woke up and breakfast wasn’t ready yet… and we’d discovered that all 3 of us, halfway through the night at some point of time or another, we’d slipped down halfway on the mattress. In the middle of the night I woke up and I was wondering why on earth I was feeling so squashed up and I realized that on either side of me were people’s legs and I was like crap and I moved back up to where the heads were. Must be the sand causing all of us to slide downward. Lol.

so we just walked down to the beach to catch the morning breeze and dip our feet in the water and all..the water was really clear that morning and we caught ourselves taking shadow shots of ourselves in the water because the water was so so clear. anyway we walked back up for breakfast and breakfast was pancakes and hot cross buns and cheesecakes!! they told us oh u guys have to try pancakes on cheesecake that's our recommendation and so i did and it was really quite nice cos the cheesecake was like slightly melty and it could sorta be used as a spread. cos it was easter they also had a bowl of easter eggs and i took one :)

right after breakfast we headed down to the blue lagoon which was a freshwater lagoon. on the way we drove by this huge huge dead jellyfish marooned on shore and the guide stopped the car and we all went out to look. it was squishy and definitely dead because the guide said it wasn't pulsating anymore. someone tried to carry it and it was really heavy. and there were many other mini jellyfishes on the shore as well.

at the blue lagoon, the water was chilly and i was like slowly wading down and all that when the guide came and splashed me suddenly and i was like ok that kinda speeds things up haha. it was really fun being in that lagoon cos the water for a change wasn't salty. lorna and i were both wet and zj's hair was dry so we tried to get her wet but in the end zj capsized me!!!

after that we headed up to the lighthouse, which had a wonderful view of the entire island and the sea and it was absolutely breathtaking. the guide told us that during whale season, whales could be seen passing by and honestly what i would give to see that sight!! there were picnic tables too at the lighthouse area and i was thinking to myself..it'd be beautiful having a picnic lunch there with a nice breeze and fantastic scenery.

straight after the vans parked themselves just at a spot on the beach and the guides prepared lunch for us while we just did our own thing. the three of us didn't really wanna get wet then..so we just lazed around on the beach and started building sand sculptures. we made a turtle and after that we made a huge bugs bunny!! and we made it wear zhujun's sunnies and slippers and took a foto haha it was funny.

after lunch they took us walking to this other scenic spot called honeymoon bay. it was a rather nice place as well..but what i remembered was that we were playing fuzzy wuzzy with lorna..zj caught on to it quite quickly and lorna was left guessing. when she finally got it she wouldn't stop and she kept on going about what fuzzy wuzzy likes or didn't like. haha.

right after that it was relatively close to the time that we had to go back..and they left us on the beach near our campsite and we had a last dip in the seawater..and lorna and i went and made a big sandball.. it was really cool. it's a ball that you make with both wet and dry sand so lorna and i were running back and forth and back and forth the beach making the sandball :)

pretty much the rest of it was rather uneventful till we got back up the catamaran. lorna and i had a pie to share, with a smiley face on it..and we were sitting at the back of the boat facing the setting sun. and zj was really adverse to the sun and she sat there with her jacket covering her face and we were like "o: you are a vampire!! u can't face the sun!!" we went about the ship.. took a few more fotos.. and then lorna and i were talking about songs from childhood and we started singing songs from barney and friends!! she could remember how to sing all those songs and when she sang it i was like yah yah yah yah yah!! i know that song!!! haha and then i'd sing along with her too. so we were totally being little kids there. and after that when the sky got dark and we had absolutely nothing to do we went in to the kids section and sat down on the floor flipping thru kiddy books lol. the adults must have been thinking what on earth are these overgrown kids doing here lol.

when we got off the boat..the guide sent everyone back..and lorna said she was gonna go back home too..and not join us for the night. there was this girl on our van that recommended us to eat at a tibetan place on fortitude valley, and we found out it was actually really near our hostel!! so we headed there for dinner that night, and i forgot my camera and decided to walk back to the hostel a few blocks down and grab it again haha. tibetan food is really interesting, it is like a mix between china and india. the chicken we had was really nice it was something like tandoori chicken..and we had soup and tibetan bread as well.

so ended our sunday of our easter weekend. :)
