In Byron
Ahh, Byron Bay. One more day left. I am having a great time. The people here are super friendly, and the beaches are amazing. The surfing is only alright at this time of year...I have been struggling a bit with the board I rented and the beaches I have been choosing...and have bruises to show it. After being frusturated with the waves at one of the beaches, I headed to another where the experienced surfers go. I was just going to go on the small waves. They look smaller from further away though...I nearly drowned. It was scary. I had fun trying but got superly knocked around. Tomorrow I am heading to some more quiet waves. Haha. Good thing I am still alive. This morning I went kayaking and saw bottle nosed dolphins swimming! It was incredible. When I first arrived, I went to a small pot smoking hippie town called Nimbin....it was really strange...I felt like I was in a movie. But being offered weed every two minutes brought back fond memories of home. Okay, okay...Surrey isn't that bad. I was one of the very few on my bus tour that didn't accept though. How things have changed in 6 years. What else have I done here...I am tired and I can't seem to organize my thoughts well so I am just spilling them on here grocery-list style. I also went for a nice bike ride, up to some view points and pretty beaches to take pics. Can't wait to post them. The night life is pretty backpacker oriented, and I have had fun going out for a little while for a few time, especially because I really like the other people at the hostel here. I realize how lucky I am to speak English as a first language, as I see it is the only common language between all of us...Swedes, Germans, British, Danish, and Canadians. I know it gets tiring for some of the non native speakers to always think and talk in it with us. Anyways, Tracie and I had fun in Sydney, and our hostel was cool. Especially thanks to a the nicest, best looking hostel staff I have seen. Anyways, I plan on telling a bit more about Sydney and posting pics at some point. As usual, someone is waiting for the comp though and I must sign off.
