This morning we went to the shops and had a wander around/got some food, then just chilled in the hostel for a bit. I borrowed Gwen's laptop to try and catch up on my seriously behind blog, and we watched some surf DVDs which were pretty cool, and then most of Source Code...which wasn't really fantastic! Soon we had to go for our bus down to Byron Bay!
When we arrived in Byron we met Sian as we were getting off the bus which was nice! We walked to our hostel for the night, which was awesome! Gwen had a voucher for a free double room which Kristina (who I met in Bangkok and Gwen met in New Zealand!) had won in NZ but given to her as she had already been to Australia! It was awesome!! So amazing that Gwen let me stay with her, it was better than most hotel rooms I've stayed in, huge big bed, ensuite, balcony, towels, shampoo etc, tv and fridge!! Epic. We dumped our stuff then went to find Christina and Julia as we wanted to book a tour to Nimbin for the following day. On the way there was a free BBQ being run by Christians...awesome craic!
The whole thing turned into a bit of an expedition to be honest, and after a lot of confusion and a mental guy in travel bugs actually acting out that we were on a bus to Nimbin...we finally got a decision made and tours booked - Gwen and I went for the slightly more expensive one as it had been made out to be a lot better, but the girls stuck to the cheap "bus only" option. When that was sorted Gwen and I went to Cheeky Monkeys for free dinner which was pretty good, just a smallish bowl of spaghetti bolognese but nice! Then we went bag to the hostel to shower and get ourselves ready to go out, and had a few drinks in our awesome room while watching Harry Potter on our TV haha!
We went out about 10 to a place called Cocomangas as we had free entry with a free drink because we stayed in Nomads. It was ok but nothing amazing, the girls and some others they had picked up came and met us there anyway. We briefly attempted another bar but Sian got turned away so we went back to the original place! It actually turned out to be a really good night, danced for a good bit, but eventually we just went to bed as we were pretty tired! Had a pie on the way home which was awesome! Best sleep ever, the bed was so comfortable!
