What a day! With most people having a 9am & 10am wake up, except for Mrs Walkerden and Lisa who had a random lady walk in their room at 7 in the morning because she thought it was her room and they forgot to lock the door, that was the beginning of the rest day. Today seemed like the best day to empty our suitcases and fill up the laundry bags. Matthew, Lucas, Tyler and Luke were able to fit all of their laundry in one bag the same size as a Coles bag while Lisa and Mrs Walkerden were able to fill 4 bags and 3 coat hangers. Some of the boys and most of the girls thought it was the best time to hit the shops and markets with the cheap prices while the others just relaxed back at the hotel. At 12:30 the students and adults decided to go their own ways for lunch but in the end most of us went to the same restaurants. Mr Croft decided to come with the girls for lunch and gave us advice on our shopping. To tell you the truth the boys went shopping too, mainly for Turkish delights. Fraser and Travis brought some remote control cars which were then put through thousands of demolition derbies and races along the hall ways of the first floors. Finishing these races were difficult because if they hit their main target, Mr Washbourne, their car was immediately thrown on their sides, knocking them out of the race until they could be retrieved by their competitor. Tahlia found some new glasses to replace the one-armed pair that she sat on earlier in the tour. Mr Bylund, Jeremy, Luke and Matt made some friends in the smaller markets, having a chat to a Turkish scout group for half an hour. Every one of them were amazed at Matt's blue eyes, they were also very polite shaking hands before talking of nothing else except for photos and Matt's eyes. The purple and white flag flew proudly as team Salmari won against team Sanford in the AFL (Dockers vs Richmond). Brittany could not stop laughing after Kellye came out of her room shouting that she was in possession of Mr Croft's peanuts, as this was interpreted differently by Brittany who absolutely lost it. Mr Croft heared this incorrectly and came storming around the hallway corner and shouted "What's this about my nuts!" By this time everyone was in fits of laughter. By 7pm it was time for the group to eat at the restraunt which was chosen by Anthea and Kellye. With Matthew and Tahlia being the bloggers today it was a good idea to get their Manu and Pete on for the "My Tour's Restraunt Rules", ending the night with the score cards for entree/ main/ dessert. Manu (Matthew) gave a 0/6.65/6, while Pete (Tahlia) scored 2/7/0. Manu decided to be nice and generous and allocate a bonus score for originality of 0 given he ate there for lunch. The final score was 26.65/60. They are now on top of the score with Rod and Wayne being the next contesters. Jeremy made friends with a small Turkish boy who had an Irish father and wanted to try out his English with other people. It is an early night tonight, as we tour the Gallipoli Peninsula tomorrow.
Cya for now,
Matthew and Tahlia.
