HI all,
Well things didn't improve in Bryon, spent another lonely night by myself. Tried to talk to a few people including one of the girls in my room who said that 'she wanted to lock herself away from the world'. What the hell is wrong with people? Anyway, I have done one i.e. I rang the bus company and moved my bus to a day earlier so I am now in Surfers paradise.
The great thing about backpacking is that if you don't like a place, you just move on. I did like Byron and I'll be going there for xmas but the difference is I will be with friends. I just didn't feel that the crowd in the youth hostel were a friendly bunch. I expect when I go at Xmas I will have a great time, bit of a shame but not to worry.
So arrived in Surfers and its great. People really slag it off but I am getting a good vibe. I really feel like I am on holiday. The beach is lovely and there is loads to do in terms of shopping and sightseeing. Met two great girls in my dorm called Sarah and Michelle and I we are going out on a pub crawl with 150 other backpackers tonight. This is exactly what I need and what youth hostels should be like - arranging nights out and events so that people can meet each other. Feel a lot better now that I have bet some nice people and assured myself that the world has not gone mad.
I am here for 3 nights now instead of the planned 2, then I am off to Brisbane. More realxing on the beach for me over the next few days........ sent you all postcards hoepfully they will arrive soon.
