Well Byron Bay not exactly what we expected, though we werent sure what we did expect, really... probably something like Brighton but a bit more hippyish. It just another sea side resort, with loads of moms that lunch and power walk, with the odd old hippy/ crusty thrown in now and then.
Have spent this morning on the beach and made complete t*** of ourselves trying to body board with little success (blaming this on crap surf rather than lack of skill on our parts) was funny though. Exited quick sharp as the heavens opened about 1am resulting in a massive hale storm which has dented the hire car!! Not impressed have rung company will have to see what happens tomorrow when we give it back in Brisbane.
Anyway last night was like a horror movie. When we got to Bryon the tourist info centre was really bloody unhelpful (the 1st one yet) and said the only room they could find us was $180 a night, a bit more then we wanted to pay, so we did a bit of surfing on the net and after an hour found this place (rainforest resort) a bit out of town but that had a double room for $90 a night.
Tripped up and guy was really nice, showed us this room in a lodge, it was a bit musty and tired (but we were paying 40 quid a night and the hostel in town were more and we would have had to share a toilet) so i put on a brave face and said it was fine, didnt want to walk out , this later proved to be a costly mistake!! However on closer inspection found loads of these long leggy spiders in corners and behind stuff, so sent Steve off to get the guy and fetch a hoover to zap them. They came back and we spent 2 mins hoovering all the nasties up and i asked him to leave me the hoover in case we found any later (Boy did we!!!)
Anyway decided to leave quick sharpish and go get some dinner (Gorgeous place - The Balcony food was top nosh) anyway headed back with tribulation, with the idea of hoovering the place over again and sleeping in my bug sheet.
Walked into the bathroom to have a wee, THE BIGGEST COCKROACH EVER (well actually having never seen one not sure of regular size but it was BIG!!) Sucked it up and thought i could cope with one roach and tried not to be a wuss, until i pulled the bed out from the wall to hoover behing THE BIGGEST SPIDER I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!
That was it i threw a wobbler, bags back in the car and we drove into town and found a motel for the night, went back this morning to give the key back to the 1st place and the b****rds wouldnt give us our money back (so i'm going to do them on trip advisor!!), but there was no way i was going back, so we have effectively paid for two nights twice. Fish and chips for tea as we are skint!
