Seriously?

So, we love the hostel we are in! It is my second-favorite of those we have seen to date on our journey, but has some really great things going for it. Not the least of which is a very nice pool (hostel pools tend to be... sketchy) and tons of bean-bag chairs surrounding it, with a big outdoor movie screen. At least once a week they have a dive-in movie night. It's awesome! We thrown ourselves into a few beanbag chairs, wrap up in a blanket, and enjoy being outside under the palm trees and stars, while we watch a flick! Watching movies in-and-of itself is a bit of a rare treat, and the environment takes it over-the top!

As if all that weren't enough, they have an outdoor bar right there, with great deals on some local beers to enjoy while we watch! We have taken a liking to Byron Bay Premium Ale, the closest thing to a micro-brew I have yet encountered, and a truly tasty beer!

Now that all sounds pretty good, right?

Sadly, there is one critical flaw in this whole thing. The movie selection.

Last week, I managed to imbue Krissy with enough courage (liquid or otherwise) to watch Jaws (the original). In the end, it's so outdated that it was really at least as comical as it was frightening, but it does make you think while bobbing away in the waves on a surf board...

This week, however, was another story. The movie of choice? Wolf Creek. Look it up, seriously. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0416315/

It's the thrilling tale of stranded backpackers in remote Australia who fall prey to a murderous bushman who offers to fix their car, then takes them captive. And the topper? Based on a true story.

I know that I saw Endless Summer on that shelf, we may need to have a serious chat with someone.
