Today was my first ever surf lesson and to be honest I wasn't exactly looking forward to it, especially as it was raining and cold outside and I'm fully aware of my awfulness when I'm in water.
Anyway, I'm in Australia so decided I have to give it a go here.
The company I went with can have groups of 30people but luckily there was just 6 of us so we were given our theory lessons which were basic instructions and advice and then were given very attractive wetsuits to wear!!

The next two hours consisted of me jumping on one side of my surfboard to slide off the other for the wave to hit my surfboard and send it slamming in to my face!!! Yes, I was THAT good!!!
I did manage to catch a couple of waves but never managed to stand up so ended up doing a fancy sort of bodyboarding.
It was actually good fun and the instructor said the wind wasn't helping anything and that the conditions weren't great for beginners!
... I should probably point out here that I was the only person who didn't stand up, but I'm sure the instructor wasn't just being nice... Right?

When we finished the rain hadn't stopped and I was pretty certain thy were going to cancel my scooteroo because it would be too dangerous. And they did!!!!
Pretty gutted that I wasn't able to do it but I wasn't going to stay at 1770 longer because the rain looks like its going to hang out for a whole.
A guy from my surf lesson knew bella already so we all hung out and then that night he made us a chicken and fruit curry which was actually quite good!! Then we had a couple of ciders, packed our bags and then I went to bed because my bus was at 630!!

Next stop, Noosa!!

Pictures obviously not me, but you can imagine how I looked all day now.
