Soooooo yesterday I spent the day in Surfer's Paradise with Samantha and our friend Alan. It was such a beautiful day. We ate the most delicious Kebabs (pronounced: Ke- BAB not BOB, there is a difference here!) and laid on the beach for a few hours and shopped for a bit. So simple but such a good day. When we got back to the village we had NOTHING to cook for dinner so we thought we'd head over to the nearest IGA... through the woods. Well now it was dark outside, we think surely Alan will keep us all safe! So Sam, Alex, and I grabbed Alan and venture towards the path... as we approach we realize just how creepy this experience is going to be....We would have turned back but we ate the last Tim-Tam and drank the last Glo juice box!!! So we began our trek into the forest.... We made it about half way through the woods in our group of four with only one mini maglight, before the BIGGEST spider I have ever seen dropped out of a tree. It was ready to attack. The four of us (Alan included) screamed like 4 year old girls who had just seen their first insect. Not a pleasant moment. We shivered the rest of the way through the woods at a brisk pace until we reached the clearing. What a relief! We grocery shopped blah blah blah, I spend way to much money blah... and then we had to come back THROUGH THOSE SAME WOODS.... WITH THAT SAME SPIDER. Goodness help me. So Samantha grabbed a stick and walked in front of us waving the stick to break up any spider webs and hopefully protect us from the rest of the nasty wildlife that Australia has to offer. Well Samantha's efforts failed and I got bit by a four inch spider.... hahahahahaha JUST KIDDING guys... sorry that was mean. But we all made it back completely intact and with a very clear understanding that we'll only be grocery shopping in the day light from now on. Smart girlsssss!!!!
