We were up early and were really "out of it" we had to check in and told the lady we took spot 54 she let us stay as long as we did not plug into the power. We showered and headed into town, I had a waxing appointment at 10:30am and had to find the place, along with finding some brekkie.  We found a McDonald's, fueled up and walked around checking things out.  The town was really pretty, thick rainforest on one side and beautiful blue ocean and clear bays, but we had to share with thousands of tourists for new years! Around the bays where large signs waring of the dangerous box jellyfish, and the had liters of vinegar attached, apparently if you get stung you need to poor the vinegar over the affected area then go get help, otherwise you might stop breathing and die. Lovely! 

After my appointment we picked up groceries and caught the bus back to camp, all I wanted to do was take a nap but the tent was so hot, we put on our swimmers and went to the pool.  The pool was the perfect temperature and felt so good to get in and cool off.  It was very relaxing hanging out by the pool in this kind of humidity there is not much you want to do without water being around.  

We took another shower, made some dinner and headed back into town for the 9pm firework show we heard about from lots of people.  It is lame but we could not stay up for the midnight show, if we had gotten any sleep the night before we would have.  In town we picked up a bottle of champagne and headed toward the beach, it was 8pm and the beach was pretty full already with families and little kids running round with sparklers, we found a good spot and opened our bubbly.  

At 10pm with no fireworks and no more bubbly we headed back to the camp, I was falling asleep on Paul's shoulder and both of us were not in the mood to deal with a bunch of young drunks. We were asleep so fast that we hardly noticed everyone partying around us.  At midnight I heard a loud boom from the fireworks and people say happy new year, two seconds later I was back in a very sound sleep.
