We wake up in Byron
Bay on (insert day
here…I’ve lost track..being a hobo and all that) to the first day of proper
sunshine! Now this is what I came to Australia
for…sack the Snowy Mountains and the Great Ocean
road…give me a bit of sun and a sandy beach any day! If theres one thing im
good at, its lazin’ around and snoozing, so we grabbed towels and headed for
the beach right beside our camp site.
While I soaked up the UV rays, John braved the water in his
painfully embarrassing blow up mobile phone. Sweet lord he’s got no shame…a
beach full of slick surfers dudes “ridin the waves”, bikini-clad girls playing
volleyball like pro’s and all the while John wrestles with his inflatable
mobile phone in the sea like a 5 year old. Naturally I came back 4 hours later
with a nice healthy sun burn (Im still peeling as we speak L
) and John quite heartbroken as his inflatable “floatation device” suffered one
too many punctures and has now seen its last days at sea. All in all a
successful first day at the beach.
Byron
Bay in general has lots
to offer…we only stayed two days but its on my list of “I might come back and
work here” places (which as John tells me I’ve been saying about everywhere). Basically
I’ve been kinda checking out what towns/cities I’d like to spend the rest of
the year working in to pay off the mammoth loan I’ve taken out getting here. So
Byron seems to be high on the list- great weather even in Winter, not too big
to be expensive or hectic and not too small to be dull or quite. Plus there is
a wealth of great bars and restaurants
were I could earn a few dollars (and I’m sure spend a few aswell) I like it.
