Friday 16th

1 more day till Laura had to work so we decided to go out and do something nice. We took the recommendation from Rennie and went to Coogee beach. Coogee beach was pretty much the same as Bondi but it was a bit quieter and the water wasn't quite as rough which was nice, not that we went in its winter here! (Even though we're hitting 24 degrees) We sun bathed for a long while and Laura gave herself another camera lesson and took about 100 pictures mainly of seagulls as there were so many to photograph! After this lunch and a walk along the beach to the baths of which there were none just an old sign where they used to be. They had lots of memorials for people who died in the Thailand bombings in 2003? (We can't quite remember if that's right or not?) But lots of people from Coogee died there. Including half a rugby team. 
We then realised our parking ticket was about to expire so back to the car and off to Myles' favourite place, East Gate Shopping Centre! Yay! It has Coles supermarket and K-mart which is a little like Primark but sells EVERYTHING. First stop K-Mart to get Myles some Steel toe capped boots. Then back to Coles to see what was on offer for din dins :) turns out it was curry for another day and we settled on soup for tonight. Quick drive back to the house and we were home, few games of cards played and some more abysmal Australian TV which usually consists of the News playing the same 4 news stories over and over on every channel! (We're missing Foxtel that we had in the hostel, which is Sky over here!) We bought a huge can of soup and after cooking an eating half of it we realised it was condensed and was meant to be diluted, oops. Oh well we learnt for next time, a splash of water added and it was a good dinner had. After this an early night as we were both off to work tomorrow, so Myles could use the Wifi and so I could earn some monies.
