The sun shone like a good 'un today!! Yay! However, I didn't manage to get a surfing lesson in today either as I just couldn't get my butt into gear. I did want to do it, but I also just wanted to walk about in the sun. Nothing wrong with that, is there? So, I had a nice iced chocolate after having a bit of a walk on the beach, and also watching the few surfers that were around the nearby bit of sea.

So, today has gotten a bit washed out unfortunately. I got up early so I could find out whether the surfing lesson was going ahead and they were having a lesson at 12:30pm - yay! The guy yesterday said they normally go out at about 10am or so, so I was prepared for a surf lesson and then trying to sort out my Byron situation.

It was such a cute little train, only cost $5 for the ride (student concession, sweeeet...

I finally got to go to the Blue Mountains today - not that I got to see anything as the whole place was covered in fog! It was so ridiculous, that I just had to keep laughing on my way around the place. The train ride up to the mountains was really nice, so I got to see a bit of scenery that was under the fog.
