The worst part of travelling has to be all this waiting around for buses etc so i thought i'd just jump into an internet cafe an upload my new photos etc! Byron Bay was quality I don't think I've been anywhere that is more chilled out in my entire life. There are no buildings over two stories tall and the beaches there were superb! It is so easy just to get into a nice relaxed vibe and chill out which is what I did! On the Monday I just had a look around a few of the shops which were pretty cool, there's not much about though so that didn't take too long so I spent the rest of the day at the beach. On the night we headed to Cheeky Monkeys which is a bar where theres no dancefloor just tables! I took it pretty easy that night an just watched everyone else get drunk an stumble across/fall off the tables which was pretty funny to watch! I made sure I got some tips of what not to do tomorrow night!!!
The next day the hostel was doing a walk to the lighthouse so i decided to do that. It was absolutely baking so it wasn't the easiest of walks but the views definately made up for the effort that we had to put in to get up there! For the walk back we decided to walk across the beach where I meet up with James and Sophie an just chilled out with them! A trip to Cheeky Monkeys was on again that night so I ended up going there with James, Sophie, Julian, Edward and a group of people they knew plus the German guys from my surf tour! It was a pretty good night, highlight has to be dancing on the tables to a bit of RATM (Rage Against The Machine) haha!
I couldn't really do alot the next day as i had to get my bus up to surfers so i just chilled out with James an Sophie an watched a film at the hostel - well i sort of watched it i slept through most of it! After the coach drive to surfers i just chilled out an sorted out what time I was going to meet with Danny the next day!
I met Danny about 10:30 an he took me on a bit of a tour! We went to the Casino which we couldn't go in as I had thongs on (it's what the ozzys call flip flops!!!), then to his works where i met a few of his work colleagues who were all pretty sound! We then headed up to Collangatta to the beaches up there which were quality, really nice beaches! We chilled out there for a bit before going to one of the surf clubs and climbing up elephants rock to have a look at the view which was pretty cool! The surf club was quality as well, we had a quick drink there where we had a lookout straight across the beach - the Ozzy lifestyle is quality!!! We then headed to his local which was really smart, it even had a mini casino an bookies in there!!! So we had a couple of goes on the racing and a few games of pool before trying our luck at a game called Keno! What happens is you can choose between 1 to 20 numbers from 1 - 80 and then 20 numbers are drawn out at random an if you get so many numbers you win cash. We played 4 numbers and on our 1st go 2 came out so we won $2 dollars and played it again with no luck! We had another $2's of the table but didn't play the next game which was a big mistake as all four of our numbers came out an we would of won $240!!! I thought maybe it was a fix but then just to rub salt into the wounds Danny told me it can't be fixed as it's played all over Queensland with the same numbers coming out in every pub!!! Oh well, atleast we've got a story to tell! Danny then took me to his place and showed me around - It's really nice 4 bedrooms a double garage and a pool, definately not a bad place to live!!! On the night we went out with Sarah and Chloe who he works with and had a few drinks an a game of bowling which was pretty cool! It was nice to just chill out with someone and actually talk about things that happen back home for a change!
I'm glad i've got myself a sort of itienary otherwise i definately would of ended up stopping in the gold coast and byron a bit longer and would of ended up missing out on other stuff further north! I've had a quality few days an hopefully it'll continue! I'm off to Noosa soon where I plan to visit the Steve Irwin Zoo which should be good, then on Monday i'm off on the tour of Fraser Island! Can't wait to actually get behind the wheel of a car again, 4 by 4 driving across a sand island - sweet!!! Anyway I'll catch up with you all soon, see you later!!
