Byron Bay 15 april 2006

sunny 26 °C

The surf trip is over :( That is something everybody have to do if they are in/coming to Australia!!! :D so much fun!! Waves Surf School, extremely fun to surf, everybody just have to try it :P

We were a small group that got picked up in Sydney early monday morning, by a little bus that just made a little bit of noise :P After driving back&forth, back&forth for a little while :P we finally arrived at surf camp, which is in the middle of fucking no where(Bulahdelah, Seal Rocks). We had a quick lunch and then drove to the beach *totally sweet* :P
During the 5 day trip, it was like breakfast, beach, lunch, beach, dinner, party, sleeping & breakfast, beach, lunch, beach, dinner, party, sleeping & breakfast, beach, lunch, beach, dinner, party, sleeping & breakfast, beach, lunch, beach, dinner, party, sleeping & beach, breakfast, beach, lunch, beach, dinner, party, sleeping... :D *fully sick*
Just so we would get a bit of variation, we moved from surf camp, by Seal Rocks, after 2 days to a beach called Crowdy Head where we surfed during the day and after lunch we drove to Way Way Logde/forest/creek where we slept, next day we drove to Yuraygir national park, where we surfed and camped. On the 5th day me & some others got up at 6am!! So we got to go to the beach both before and after breakfast, after lunch we drove to Byron Bay. Where everybody actually got a hot shower...so at dinner I saw a lot of strangers to begin with... :P *totally sick*
Most of us felt uncomfortable, so we jumped back in to the waves again *fully sweet* full moon and everything, skinnydipping :D after that we walked back to the hostel...

Now I'm wondering where to go, what to do...think maybe it'll be a bit difficult to find accommodation here now, cause there's a festival in Byron Bay at the moment...so maybe I'll go further north, but we'll see... :P

Sydney 8 april 2006

sunny 25 °C

Arrived in Sydney wednesday 29 march 2006, around 3pm, found my way through to the work & travel-sign, which a young german, named Patrick(I think...), was holding. After a quick drive I was placed in an armchair with all my luggage...2 seconds later the young german, whos name I don't really know, came back with the key to my room(?) - that proved I had to share with quite a lot of people during the 3 nights I stayed at Base :D one of them I didn't see at all...heard when he/she went to bed late at night & got up really early again... :P

Saturday I dragged all my stuff to Amelia street, where my colleague from Mobelringen Nittedal in Norway live with 3 other norwegian students. Here I got quite comfy, with my music & sleeping bag + a pillow that I was so lucky to borrow :P, on the floor :D

During a week in Sydney, I've been walking & walking, been to Sydney's aquarium(where the sharks actually were a bit cute! but a couple of nights later I had a nightmare, that the biggest shark there got me through the glass...) and then I've been to Manly beach twice, once to Bondi beach, walking & walking & walking, been to The Ranch(with some norwegian students), and then I've been walking even more & taking the bus almost as much as I've been walking :P I've also seen the operahouse & the bridge, actually not that exciting to drive over the bridge every day :P

Today I'm moving to a hostel down town, since on monday morning at 8am(can anyone call and wake me up?? :P) I am supposed to be at a certain bus stop so I can go on the surf trip I've booked.. :D No one that can call and wake me up..??

:P
