Hello everyone,
Since my last blog, I have surfed with dolphins at mojo surf camp ( and stood up a few times) , caught some sun on Byron Bay beach, danced on tables at cheeky monkeys bar/ club ( the tables are the dance floor - its the rule!) and taken a bike up to the view point of the most easterly point of australia ( I say taken, because the bike was horrible, and I walked most of the way and ended up bruising and cutting myself, was quite fun though!!). The view was worth it, this place is beautiful.
Surf camp was amazing, we arrived quite late, about 8, after our bus breaking down, and having to wait for another bus to swap onto. On the way to surf camp, we had a barbi by the beach and I ate some kangaroo... was interesting stuff!! We played silly games on the bus, with our awesome guide guido telling us funny stories and we had some kookabarra ( I have no idea how to spell that!) noise impressions.
At surf camp, we were rushed for some food outside by a campfire, was lovely, met some surfers ( always nice) and made our way to our cabins for a good nights sleep, before our 6 am wakeup0 call from one of the surfers for breakfast and then a surfing briefing lesson.
When we squeezed ourselves into these really freezing wetsuits, we made ourway to the beach, and had to do a work out before getting into the water. I didn't think my outfit was very attractive for the surfer dudes, but I had to forget about how I looked, and prepare for what was going to be the most tiring thing I have ever done in my life - but also the most fun!! We surfed for a good 2 hours, and I managed to stand quite a few times, I loved it. I didn't love being dunked under the water - but seeing the dolphins swimming near us in the water at the end made my day!!
Byron Bay has been really nice, alot of sunbathing on the nice beach, nights out and plaing ball games with our new group of oz bus friends.
I will update you when I get to Brisbane. I hope you are all well...
Lots of love, em and becs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
