Today was my last day in Byron bay... Booo! So myself and Edo just walked round the town, bought the odd thing, had dinner and a coffee and then just went back to hostel. We ended up meeting two guys from Adelaide who were in Byron for a music festival and spent the afternoon drinking and chatting with them and a Scouser. Then it was time for me to get my bus...

Edo was coming down to Byron Bay today so we'd arranged to meet at the hostel at 3pm. When he got there we went for a walk around Byron bay and then ended up at a place called The Beach Hotel to have a couple of drinks.

So anyway I decided to go as its recommended in most travel guides and it just sounded really cool. I got picked up at 10am by a big bus that was all spray painted and had reggae music blaring out. Yep, today's going to be a good day!!! So, ...

Had a pretty uneventful bus journey to Byron Bay. The hostel I'm staying at is really nice but it is so quiet, for the first couple of hours I barely saw any other people. Then I met the other girl in my room who is from Italy; she seems nice enough but is leaving tomorrow. I actually started to get really annoyed that I'd left Brisbane, which I was really enjoying to come here and there's like no one around. I decided to go to Woolworths to get some food in so...
