We arrived in Byron Bay only expecting to stay for 3nights but have already been here for 5. When we arrived we met Luke who was also staying at Cape Byron Lodge with us. None of us had a phone number or any idea where our hostel was so we lingered for a while before asking a stranger for directions. He vaguely pointed us off and we trekked for 30mins having to ask two other people for help as well. We finally got there, flung our bags off and went to recpetion. But they didnt have our booking and told us we were at a different Cape Byron Hostel which was much further away. So we all got in a taxi and finally arrived.
That night we all went to Cheeky Monkeys Party Bar with the rest of the guys off our bus. Was an amazing night, we got free jugs of beer and got pissed by 10pm. By then everyone started dancing on the tables till about 2.30am when me, Issey and Luke stumbled out to make our way home. We got amazingly lost because Luke was mapreading and lay down for a rest on a grassy patch near the road. We must of all fallen asleep there beacuse the next thing i know is some truck has parked nearby and a trucker is coming over to see if we are alright. I whack Issey on the head so she can deal with him. She whacks Luke instead who speaks to the guy. Trucker tells us we looked like "roadkill" and did we want a lift home in his road train. We agreed and after about 10m we pulled up. So we were close all along. He offered us some of his 'curry' but we declined and stumbled into bed about 5am.
Next day nothing much happened- woke up at about 2pm, went to rent a car to go to Nimbin, played pool, cards, drank some cider and were in bed by 12am.
Then on friday (13th April) we all went to Nimbin. Luke drove and i navigated with a map of only byron bay and anothe off a tourist leaflet and asking three people for help we made it. Every person who we asked for directions to Nimbin just laughed and we soon discovered why.
It was everyhting we expected and more there. The photos pretty much tell the story...it was an awesome day!
