Byron Bay...Home of the chilled out hippyish cafes and night spots, lush beaches, good surf, loads of travellers and great weather! Oh yeah and my cousin Sam...Some boy!
After our stop in Coffs Harbour for the night, Gar and I caught the bus here to byron (only 4 hours or so-not as bad as the days before journey!) Sam met us at the stop and took us straight down the beach for a swim and a tan top-up...this beach was called Watego's and is where me and gar had our first surf lesson (courtesy of sam)...fair to say Kelly Slater's crown as surf champ is safe for the time being, though we did manage to catch some waves and got to our knees ok, standing up is a different matter at the mo!
We are staying 15mins outside Byron in Mullumbimby (great name) at sams mate Phoenix's place...absolutely gorgeous spot in the hills with just Cane toads and snakes for neighbours!
Thursday night we went out with a couple of italians who are sams friends to a bar called cheeky monkeys...it just so happened that a wet t-shirt comp was going on that night (coincidence that sam got us seats in the front row - good boy!) Friday morning reminded me not to mess with a certain Jack Daniels as hard again - ouch!
Yesterday sam took us to the Main Beach for a "hangover cure" - a swim in the sea at 9am...wasnt quite what the doc ordered! Good fun though...the water here is just like a bath its so warm!
After a bite to eat and a glimpse of the cricket (dont know how it ended up - close game for a change from what i saw) we went back to watego's for a surf but the waves weren't great, so sam took us to "The Pass" where the waves were just too big for me and gar and there were loads of surfers there so it was like the M25 surfing style!
We went out again last night to sample the night life with sam and phoenix this time, me and gar ended up in Cheeky's again while sam and phoenix went to LaLa's! We all had a good night and got smashed from our conversation this morning anyway!
Sam is at work in the Ponciana Cafe in Mullum so we've got his car for the day...heading out to Nimbin (just to say we've been there!) before finding a beach to have a swim and bodyboard and top-up of tans! Having a quiet one tonight as sams taking us surfing again tomorrow! Energry required...also i can see why the guy hasd the broadest shoulders in the world...surfing is hardcore!
Im going to book my skydive in a bit too hopefully for monday before we head up the coast either mon night or tuesday! We've booked our trips to Fraser and the Whitsunday islands too which will be awesome!
Check all the new pics out!
