So again up at the crack of dawn. the bus picked me up at 6:30am. wow we have 400kl to do today, have been told we get cooper pedy at 3-4-5-6pm so he has no idea then !!!
Not really much to say about the bus journey, it was long a hard, wait am i still talking about the buss. i mean the bus trip was long and boring, thats better. the seats were pretty uncomfitable, and there was no one talking on the bus. oh well im glad it is only for 2 days.
so finally got to cooper pedy at around 5pm. The lovely bus driver had arranged for us to take a tour of an old opal mine. wow what excitment. i read they actually charge people $10 for the tour, i am so glad there didn't try to charge me. it is a mine. the rooms before the mine were ok, it showed you how people did or still do today live underground. so at least it was kind of half interesting.
The place we were staying was ok, i was expecting it to be all underground but what it means is you stay in a dorm which has been dug out of a side of a hill/mountain. was bloody dark which really good for me as i sleep with my eyes open slightly anyway. but i had heard it makes snoring echo. oh dear i have been told i snore everso slightly !!! so better luck for everyone else then :)
Tour had arranged for us to have pizza in a local resturant, which was included in the price. not bad, i just didn't get enough, there was only 4 pizzas between 16 of us. that doens't seem a lot to me and wasn't at all. nevermind at least this is only a 2day trip.
