Rainbow Beach to Rockhampton // the nightmare

As always the Premier bus was late. Not that Greyhound is always on time, though. Many people were waiting for the bus, in the end we were 1,5 hours late. We hit the road and it was pouring rain. 
The drive took us 7 hours, I arrived at 3 o'clock in the morning. My phone was flat and I had no idea where to go. My hostel was booked but I had no clue where it is. There were three other backpackers being helpless, so I talked to them. They said they just want to go to the 24hours McDonalds and hang out there until the sun rise. I thought I might gonna do this, too as I wouldn't have to be alone and I'm open for adventures. One of the girls was absolutely not happy with the situation. She got totally hysteric and said 'I'm gonna get myself a cab and a bed, you do whatever you want'. Silly!!!
Heather(18) from the states, JJ(23) from the Uk and me walked towards Maccas and saw that people were in there. I tried to open the door, but it was closed. I just saw an employee forming following with her lips: 'we are closed'.
So we read again carefully and noticed that only the Drive Through was open. We plucked up our courage and walked through the Drive Through, as we were starving. Arriving at the window the lady told us that she won't serve us as we are in no car. 'Seriously? What does it matter?!' - 'These are the roules...'
Totally upset and planless we decided to sit in front of Maccas and just wait. In exactly that moment three people turned up. Two girls named Raine (18) & Storm (18). These were really their names, they showed me their ID. Funny, isn't it? The boy's (23) name I don't remember. They were locals and have just been to a nightclub, for that fact you can imagine how drunk they were... We told them that we don't get any food and so Raine tried to go in. The door was open! But she got kicked out. That made her soo angry... But it was funny. They tried my glasses on and we took heaps of pictures. Unfortunately I haven't got any because my phone was flat, remember? 
By the way it was still pouring rain. The guy suggested that we could just get a cab and drive through. Why not? The best idea. So we all sat in the car and drove through. We ordered a million stuff, really... the food was offered from Raine and the cab from the guy. That was just soo random. I already deleted the plan in my head that I go to the hostel and said: 'I knew it was gonna happen once to me that I don't have an accommodation for the night and it's happening right now!' And we all laughed. Because actually there is worse seriously... And we werre having fun, despite the pouring rain...
Satisfied we ate our breakfast. But after a while we changed our mind and called a cab, though. I don't really know why to be honest... Anyway, Heather, JJ and me drove to the hostel and the Asian there at the reception gave us our room key. I suddenly fell asleep, so I forgot to set an alarm clock and I had to get up at 6.45! I woke up at 6.50, which means I had two hours sleep still.
