Trip into Bowral
So, two posts in one day....pretty great! Miriam, Olivia and I were planning on biking into Bowral but the bike shed key was misplaced so instead we got a ride in with Woodsy and told him that we would walk back since it's SO nice out. (Its rained for three days in a row, first nice day in awhile). First we went to a bike shop for a map of the trail to get back. The cute guy at the till printed us out one but it was only a half of the map..... He was really nice, asked if we were just here for the weekend, so miriam told him where we were going to school. Apparently he thought that all Canadians know each other because he asked if we knew Allie from a few semesters ago haha. Miriam wanted to skype so she went to a cafe for free wifi. Olivia and I just wandered around, looking at all the goodlooking guys.... We went to a place called Cotton On where they have lots of 5$ deals. The change rooms are just a round circle with a button up curtain around which was a little sketchy.... I didn't find anything I liked . It is really nice that there are bank machines on every corner! Afterwards we went into the coles supermarket because I wanted orange juice... So I found a cute little carton for 1$ and bought it. I tried a sip....and realized that either Australians don't have real orange juice or that I bought the wrong thing. "Orange fruit drink" was what it was labeled and on the side it said "concentrated, add 2L of water" Oops! Well we picked up Miriam at the cafe and after a little bit of shopping we headed to the start of the bike path, and this worked for awhile until the bike path pointed us to follow a road with no more bike path signs.... grrrr. We ended up walking on the side of the main road, someone beeped their horn at us once and then someone else held their horn down and a guy popped his head out of the window and yelled "WHOOOO". Not sure why but it was entertaining, we were about 3/4 of the way back to school when one of the school buses drove by us and stopped on the side of the road to give us a ride back to school....that was nice :). My first day doing laundry at the school, I'm really hoping nothing gets wrecked...
