| Our cosy room :) |
Here are some pictures from the hostel that we stayed at. It was aptly called "Somewhere to Stay" and it was just that! Thankfully I decided it would be best to stay in a private room (you could stay in rooms with 9 people in bunk beds for cheaper!!) it was about $50AUD per night and it served our purposes. There was a shared bathroom and 4 showers in the building we were in (there were two total - and I think the place slept around 100). There was also a kitchen with large fridges where you could store your food in labelled bags - but there were lots of signs posted around warning that there was a "food thief on the loose" and there were even a few threatening said "food thief" It was a little disconcerting - Although we had a lock on our door, there was no lock on our window or a screen, so we opted to bring our laptops with us when we went out apartment hunting - which made for some frustrating walks in 30degree plus humidity weather!!
There were a lot of people staying at the hostel while we were there (apparently it's the high season for backpackers to come here looking for work while traveling - usually picking fruit) It seemed like there were people speaking every language imaginable. There were a lot of people from Germany and the Netherlands. We found that it was quite crowded when it came to preparing our food in the kitchen - so it was fairly stressful to try to cook a meal - while vying for a spot on the stove and a corner to chop and prepare food! Needless to stay - we were relieved to move to our own place
