Warning: This note may cause feelings of jelousy.
I woke up early to the rocking of a boat and the smell of breakfast. The first mate on "Ron of Argyle" is an amazing Italian cook and he never falls short of amazing expectations. The day went as usual, no one needed much more than a smile and a swimmer.
Our trip ran to an end and we celebrated with pictures and happy times. We got off the transport bus back to town with an afternoon free and nothing to do. We rented a MOKE, a vehicle similar to a souped up go-kart (max speed ~85kph) with the suggestion to check out some falls not far from town. So we, this is where the name of this note comes from, synced our clocks, because we needed to return the MOKE by 830, and we needed to leave at 1130. So we made it to the falls and some of us climbed up the rock face into the waterfall, and just Dan made it to the top of the 45ft+ cliff (where i actually witnessed some Lawless hesitation) and proceeded to jump. Later (and actually a few times earlier) we learned that many people get injured and die every year from that exact spot. So we make it back just in time and got everything situated and headed to go get some pizza with our mates, excited to share the news of our afternoon shower in a waterfall. Little to our anxious eyes did we notice that 20:20 is actually 8:30, and not 11:30 (i wont mention names). So were worried to say the least. We make it to our meeting spot to see our friends getting ready with not much rush. (the bus shouldn't even be in town anymore let alone people not running) Why? We only traveled, pretty much, due north but luckily for us Sydney doesn't celebrate daylight savings time. It was actually only 7:50 at this point but unfortunately we didn't have time for pizza. A group of girls, with there tiny stomachs, handed us an untouched pizza!!! Free dinner. Everything above cost the four of us $20 each. (Australian!!!) Lucky day, lucky us!

This story makes no sence. Here is what happened with the time: we thought we needed to leave at 11:20 but it turned out we needed to leave at 8:20. We needed to return the MOKE at 8:30 (but we showed up late at 8:50). We were all flustered because we werent sure if we were going to get the deposite back or if our bus was still in town so when we saw the girls waiting it hit us that Queenslans (the provodince where Sydney lies) doesn't celebrate daylight savings. It was actually 7:50. Our rental was returned early and we were just on time for the bus... The world makes sence again!
