Alex Petreikat

How did you hear about Calypso?

From Scotty’s in Mission Beach.

Are you enjoying your stay here?

Yes...a little bit hung over today, because you and the rest of the staff convinced me to go and see a live band last night. The atmosphere at this hostel is great!

How was it?

It was awesome! I didn’t realize that Australia has such great music until I came here to Calypso. The staff are great, I’m so happy I went out with you all.

Yeah, we have some wicked music here in Australia. Where are you off to next?

Marco from London

What's your name, where are you from?

Marco from London, just near Heathrow.

So how are you finding your stay at Calypso?

It's lovely, just like a second home for me. Cairns is so nice. Everyone is just so friendly. I go away on trips and it just so nice to come back here each time.

So what trips been doing since you've been here?

Everything! Scuba diving, bungy jumping, jungle treking, white water rafting!

You didn't fall in when rafting, did you?

No I didn't fall in... I was pushed!

Nice! Well, a little birdy's told us you were in the UK Big Brother. How is it to stay in a place without the threat of eviction looming over your head?

It make's a change!

So would you recomend Calypso's to other travellers?

Definitely!

Chris from Northern England

What's your name, where are you from?

Chris, from Northern England, Wakefield near Leeds..

So are you into rubgy or soccer, then?

Soccer, in fact I was playing yesterday. Which is why I have this swollen ankle!

So how did the Calypso Team go yesterday?

We won. In fact Calpso teams came 1st, 2nd and 3rd!

So you glad you made the decision the stay here?

Yes, in fact I had to leave briefly beacuse I hadn't booked my room, but came back as soon as I was able to!

Why exactly did you come back then?

It's has a really good atmosphere. It's very social, maybe because of the bar being in the middle of the hostel. It encourages everone to interact with each other!

So you going to be back defending the Calypso soccer title next week?

I doubt it! I think I'm going to be needing crutches by the end of today!!
