We woke up early today so we could make the most of the beach and sunbathe! So without wasting anytime we had our breakfast, packed our bags and checked out by 10pm and went straight over. The sky was cloudier this morning which made it feel a bit chilly but it was still pretty good for winter weather! I walked over towards the waves to test the temperature, it was cold! So we didn't bother getting in. By 11:45am Chris was bored so he went back to have a showe...

It was so cold this morning, it was a good job we doubled up on our furry throws! It was horrible climbing out of bed, as soon as the cold hit me I desperately needed a pee, I'd already been during the night! That was horrible too, that's got to be one of my least favourite things about hostels, not having your own bathroom. It kinda reminded me of when I lived at home and slept in the garage. I would wake up needing the toilet but would have to run outside the f...

We arrived in Byron Bay at 6:40am, so the bus journey from Sydney took about 12 hrs and 40 mins.

As to be expected we both felt like death this morning. Unfortunately we didnt have the choice of sleeping in as we had to check out by 10am! Still, we managed to drag ourselves out of bed, shower, eat breakfast and were out of our room on time.   Not feeling up to anything we decided to veg out on a sofa tucked away in the corner of the lobby for a while. We curled up and watched a film on the ipad and then when we started to feel more alive we ventured out t...

We got up a bit earlier today to go on the free tour to see the Sydney sights. We met up with the guide by the cathedral and waited around until he was ready to start moving. He Introduced himself and highlighted the fact that the tour was free and he worked for tips. We both thought he was a bit strange. After ten minutes we were extremely bored, the guide wasn't allowed to take us into anywhere that required an entrance fee because it was a free tour, he and hi...
