Mon 4th:
Today we had to get up at about 5am as we had to catch our bus out of Sydney at 6.30! We had to walk all the way to the Oz Experience office with all of our stuff. Our tour guide on the coach was called Sconsey and he was really helpful and told us so many useful things. We drove for a couple of hours then stopped for a McDonalds breakfast, yum! While we were driving again we watched Bondi Rescue which was good. Then stopped for lunch. As we drove on, we saw the 'Big Banana', one of Australia's many 'big things'. As we were almost there, the tour guide took us on a detour around some houses where there were loads of kangaroos around! Then we arrived at Mojo Surf Camp at Arrawarra beach and then got shown around by a crazy blonde guy. We then got allocated our cabins and we were in a 10 bed with 6 in the main room and 4 in a side room, where we were with this very creepy Dutch guy! We then had dinner and after everyone was drinking and playing drinking games. Eventually we stopped and were just chatting so that we didn't feel hungover in the morning for surfing. When we went back to our cabin, 2 of the girls were screaming as they'd seen a spider and a cockroach. I didn't see the cockroach, but the spider was pretty big and Dave managed to kill it!
Tues 5th:
Had a wake up call at 8 this morning, got ready and went for a cooked breakfast, yum! Went to the area for our surf talk where we learnt that the number 1 rule is 'to look cool and have fun'! We got our wetsuits, put them on, grabbed our boards and headed to the beach. We all laid our boards in a semi-circle and watched the instructor teach us what to do. Then we headed into the sea and were in there quite a while with the instructors around to help us. We managed to stand up! It was really good fun! Back at the camp, we took out off wetsuits, rinsed off and got dressed. Lunch was really good, there was soooo much food! After lunch we were back on the coach and headed to Byron Bay.
Love from Fran....and Becky
