Tammo and I have been back in the Bay a couple of weeks now and have settled down in a house near to the beach, so its been up early every morning to hit the surf. The beaches here are pretty amazing and we are a 5 minute walk from some pretty nice surf breaks. The other day at Tallows beach we saw a lovely pelican hanging out with the fishermen and one of them gave us some fish to feed it with. He was a bit of an inept pelican, not as crafty as the ones in St Ja...

Tammo bought Pedro, a custard yellow 1988 Mitsubishi Magna, while we were down in Sydney, so we drove him back up to Byron over the weekend. He is a bit of a tank but purrs like a kitten and made it up here in a couple of days with a pitstop at Port Macquarie. Check the photo album soon for pics of Pedro on route. We are back in Belongil Beachouse and the weather here is ridiculously hot. A storm has just broken, causing many faces to light up and much dancing in...

I'm staying with Tamsin, Helen and Liz at Belongil Beachouse which is right on the beach - one of the only north facing beaches in eastern australia apparently, and we've had offshore winds for the past few days ...

Arrived in Sydney early yesterday morning and came to stay with Helen's friends Sheryl and Michael for a couple of nights in Manly. They have a pug called Mack. What a sweetie! We've been doing some yoga, chillin at the beach and sitting in cafes. Oh, and Iwent on a spree in Billabong and bought a new top and some boardies. Missing the surf a bit now cos I picked up something called tropical ear, and so did Helen. Think we got it in Bali. Its basically an...
