OK today we booked a trip to Nimbin, which is Amsterdam in Australia, which basically means its where loads of hippies are and all they do is smoke marijuana all day everyday.
Well first part of the trip they took us to bungalow which is a town in this area, it has a huge market there. Im not too interested but Tania is and they take they there anyway if you like it or not.
So got to the market, had a look round, managed to walk round the whole thing, it was pretty big, it took us 1hr and 45 mins to walk round, lets just say if i was on my own it would of took me about 20mins. but we all know what women are like. she brought some beads to make a braclet with, and that was it. in an 1hr and 45mins and god knows how many stalls she brought just beads. oh well thats women for you. i brought a hotdog. thats men for you, lol.
So got to nimbin, its not very big we managed to walk from one end to the other in 5mins. so that shows how big is it. We only got offered marijuana about 7 times in that 5mins, No i didn't buy any. neither did Tania, which is surprising she is from holland. lol. no she is a good girl.
Nothing really much there we went there just to experiance Nimbin for what it is a hippy town with hippys all over the places. We did walk into a "museum" which was a house with four rooms talking about how the place got to be a hippy place. nothing to interesting. one of the rooms had people sell pot again, another room had classes on how to roll a splif. so yeah nothing of interest to either of us.
Tania brought some tea from there, not sure she really realised it was made with hemp or something but she is excited about it. To be honest i wasn't really listening to the man when he was talking about all these types of tea and what they "do" for you. some BS about helping medical conditions or helping you to get erections. i don't know. anyway i told her after we left the shop that she would properly get high from drinking it and may not want to take it through customs, although the man did say they are legal. Yeah i suppose selling marijuana on the streets is legal too, No is it not anyway in australia.
anyway i hear she has sent it home, and her mum is interested in what it tastes like. they could be fun to watch. Go Tania, please tell me what it was like and if you and you mum got stoned off it. lol.
Anyway on the way back we was taken to a waterfall, sorry that should be a "waterfall" australia is having its worst draught for 10-20 years or something, so there was not alot of water over this waterfall. had a nice view but nothing i had not seen before.
So got back to hostel, decided i needed an earlyish night, spent evening playing cards and reading. No tell a lie we watched a film with an italian guy. Which makes me laugh really because he was "working" there, well not a the moment as he has hurt his foot. he is aloud to have the keys to the TV room after hours and sit in there and watch films. As always its not what you know its who you know. that reall annoys me those types of things, if he can do that then everyone should be able to. anyway we had befriended him a few days before and we watched it with him anyway.
