I arrived in Surfers just after lunch on Saturday and booked into Surf and Sun hostel - really near the beach (2mins walk) and pretty chilled out. Went down to the beach to check it out and had a lazy afternoon on the sands. Pretty cool to look up and see all the skyscrapers looking over it and the sea was warm although i only paddled! Spent the evening at the hostel watching a run of Adam Sandler movies with some other people - couldn't be bothered to go out both nights and wanted to be up early for sea world on Sunday morning!
Sea World was great - you know what a sucker I am for all things animal so I really enjoyed all the shows and saw my first ever polar bear! In Queensland Australia - very strange I know! Met some ladies from Melbourne who'd just won silver medals in the tennis masters and they got me in with their 25% off vouchers so that helped the budget :) Sunday night we went down to Shooters bar for free dinner and drinks - can't really see how they made any money seeings as we didn't stay there all night but it was good fun and I'd met some nice girls who'd moved into my room so had a giggle.
Didn't have very long at Surfers as I'd heard from various people that it was a bit of a dive and had booked to move on on Monday but I actually liked it so that will teach me to make my own mind up in future - perhaps because I was expecting the worst it seemed ok. Had to be up for the 08.40 greyhound bus down to Byron Bay - my first stop in New South Wales...
