bush-walking

we went bushwalking today. bushwalking in our language in california is taking a hike. We had to get up a 7 am this morning to meet up with the tour bus. Went to bed last night at 11, didn't want to take any chances. Our bus driver was pretty wild looking and made beep beep noises when he made right hand turns. THought he was going to have a heart attack or stroke climbing up one of our trails. I considered getting the keys from him just in case but instead offered him my water. Saw a baby joey and its mom and dad. They are like deer to us. They get hit by cars just like them. Really cute though. We saw some falls and a rock formation called the three sisters. Used my film camera today so wont be posting them. Made it down 800 steps to the bottom of this trail and was hoping to climb back up it for exercise but the driver made me take the rail car back up due to the fact that I lost track of time and would have made everybody wait for me. He was sort of pissy with me because at first I tried to evade him and go up anyway and he sort of chased me (he is not in the best of shape). The rail car was crazy. It was like a rollercoaster but it went backwards really fast between rock canyons. Took us three minutes and it was scary. The tour took all day. We had 7 Danish kids in there early 20's on the bus with us and they were really entertaining. Just had the best thai food ever and am going to go up to our room and put some sweats on and relax. Tomorrow is our last full day. Today was in the 80's. HOpe tomorrow is as well, going to go snorkeling if I can find some gear for less than 40 bux. It is really expensive here. Little bottles of water are 3.50. Night.
