On our last day in Bondi we went to the Beach as the weather was so good. We hired boogie boards for free from our hostel and attempted to surf!The waves were either absolutely massive or really calam but i still managed to end up lying on the beach a few times!We sunbathed and lazed around in the sun and then went swimming...this is when it gets dramatic...the waves suddenly became so powerful and we got dragged along by the current...i swam back to the beach...that sounded so easy!The Bondi Beach lifeguards were on the beach and rushed in with their surfboards and power swam over to 'save'the others!Mission successful!I have yet to mention that there is a really popular tv show in Australia called Bondi rescue...which shows the lifeguards on Bondi Beach rescueing people from the sea, apparently they save hundreds of people a day!
We were filmed!
This has probably left mum and nanny worrying...i made it sound much more dramatic than it actually was!I will be more careful.
At 10pm we got on the greyhound bus and started our 12 hour bus journey to Byron Bay overnight. The seats were so unbelievably hard andthe bus was so hot but i still managed to sleep the whole way...surprisingly!We arrived at 10am and luckily as we walked out the bus loads of people were standing around advertising accomodation...which we hadn't booked so we didn't have to walk around for hours looking for vacancies!We managed to find space in a hostel right on the beach which is perfect as it is also only a 5 minute walk into town!The only hitch is that we are sharing our room with a woman...around 55!But she is really nice so everything is fine!We were on the beach during the day...once again the beach is so beautiful as it is really uncrowded and stretches further than i can see...also the sand is so so fine that when you walk on it with bare feet is squeaks!rather funny!There is also a shipwreck on the beach which i admit makes me feel slightly like i am on a deserted island having just sailed across the ocean!We went out in the evening to a club called cheeky monkeys and had a meal each for $1!!!it was really yummy!The club was so busy and everyone was dancing on tables etc...crazy!
This morning i am going hand gliding which i am so excited about as have always wanted to do it!
Will get back to you once i have landed, should be around 3.00!
