sore and exhausted (but having fun)

we're still up in queensland (right now we're on the sunshine coast-- although i think we brought melbourne's weather cuz there's been very little sun, especially for a state that brags "beautiful one day, perfect the next). i've been lacking sleep since we got here. didn't sleep well the first 3 nites, had to get up at 5am the 3rd morning to go on a tour to fraser island. that was a cool trip but a VERY long day. the next nite (last nite) we got invited to go play laser tag at a midnite til 6am lock-in so we went. it was really fun (we actually made it until 6am, we were all doubting that considering we were all having trouble staying awake at 10pm before we left to go play). i'm VERY sore today though. firstly, laser tag uses a lot of muscles in ways they haven't been used in a long time (and lots of little muscles i didn't realize i had). plus i kinda had 2 falls yesterday. the first was i slipped down a grassy hill onto my ass in the rain (that hurt pretty bad) then 5 minutes later we were biking along a shared path and a guy with his dog were ahead of us taking up the whole path. zac rang his bell but the guy didn't respond so zac just went onto the grass around the guy. i did the same when i approached only when i went to get back on the path my wheel was a bit too paralell to the path and cuz it was wet i ended up sliding and crashing just infront of the guy and his dog. so i have a big bruise on my knee and shin in addition to all the muscle soreness. vacations are fun 8)
