Finally I have time to tell you guys a little of what I've been doing in the land down under the last 2 months. Well, lets see...
I was in Surfers Paradise a week, just reading & enjoying the beach. Doing nothing really...Loved it!!
When that week ended, I got on a bus going south, after 10-11 hours I jumped off the bus at a little place called Bulahdelah. Suddenly I was back at surf camp again, with the help of Chris from Canada, Billy the dog, Vicky and her little car (packed with alkohol). Just in time for barbie. After dinner some drinking games, and then dancing all night!!! + a swim in the pool :P I stayed at surf camp, as a helper, for a month. Tried to leave a couple of times, but I was stuck!! :P
The helpers slept in a building, if you can call it that, called the Boatshed. I liked it, was nice, just like camping but with beds. Until swedish Linda came with her ghost story, The Harley ghost & then the stories about murdered people being dumped in the pond right outside...Renee and I found that quite scary after dark...someone should have filmed us :P (I slept a couple of times in the Cabana on the pool table (both night & day-time, sober & drunk) :P
The helpers got up 06:30am every day(Believe it or not!! I too got up at that time!! it's true!!!)
A lot happened at surf camp, and since I didn't write a diary at that point, I don't remember everything.
There were a lot of partying, but I think my first week was the craziest... Big party monday, tuesday, thursdag and saturday. Swimming in the pool at night, a couple of times... But saturday was just crazy.. oh my god or what do you think Jayne..jumping out of a driving vehicle..crazy girl!!! :P
My second week at surf camp I went on the Byron-trip with Brenda & Boris. Even though I had a cold and mostly slept & tried to keep on my feet the few hours I was awake(don't think my body liked the cold medicine), it was a nice trip. With busdriver Calvin and surfinstructors Ben(Porns) and Dylan. We saw a lot of nice beaches :D and Brenda had to walk my phone the first day :P (quite funny when she came back.. :P), we had pizza, slept at Way Way the first night and the rest of the trip we slept on The Big Blue Bus (which we have to visit at snow camp :P), saw kangaroos, talked a lot about chocolate, guys & sex...saw 4 or 5 shooting stars in one night :D had banana and chocolate pancakes for brekky in Yuraygir national park, and Boris didn't want us to leave Byron Bay, so he tried to distroy The Big Blue Bus... :P
It was really exciting(read embarrasing) to come back to surf camp on saturday... :P
Oh my god!! One tuesday night I got so drunk that I was still drunk at brekky on wednesday *hiding* That was the wednesday a lot of helpers left surf camp on the Byron-trip...Brenda, Martin, Jack, Linda, Linn & the dutch couple. *Brenda, come back!! the voice in my head kept screaming :P* That wednesday I also got my first hangover in Australia after sleeping a couple of hours..it was also my first EVER!!! I didn't dare to even move my eyes or anything, if I did it felt like my body would break into tousand pieces... HORRIBLE!!!!
One day the manager, Vicky, had to go to Taree to buy some tiles. Alex, Billy and I came with her. Even without taking the cold medicine I fell a sleep in the car, with Billy on my shoulder 
It was in Taree, I got 2 pair of jeans for NOK 75,- each!!! :D & Vicky bought me the best iced chocolate!! Thanks so much, Vicky, ur the best!!
17th of may I went on the Byron-trip again, with Alex, Tim S and Tim P. Celebrated on my own, on the beach. The warmest 17th of may celebration I've ever had :D Since you guys in Norway still were sleeping, I didn't have anyone to call and say Hipp Hipp Hurra to 
Suddenly I remembered the norwegians in Sydney, but then my phone went dead But I had a nice celebration on my own(with a lot of non-norwegians) with icecream, pizza, smirnoff ice & watched a movie. A great day!!(Have you seen Sin City yet, Hege??)
The second day we found the best spot to camp in Yuraygir national park, it was so nice!! :D Saw a lot of kangaroos - that made me happy!! - had lovely food & a nice fire & falling a sleep to the sound of the ocean(only thing missing was Lucky!) :D - I could live there!! -
In the morning I finally got pancakes that wasn't too sweet for me :D I loved it!!
When we got to Backpackers Inn in Byron Bay, Brenda and Boris was there *biggest smile ever*
On the way back to surf camp on saturday, Simon - a lovely guy, came with us, going to join us helpers :D (How old are you again, Simon?) I took my cold medicine again that day, so think I slept all the way down to surf camp & went to bed early that night cause I had no energy to even sit up.(That cold medicine is not good for ur body!!)
My last two nights at surf camp was really nice, dancing a lot :D loved it!!
Wednesday night I was back in Sydney, on Martin's floor(How weird was it to talk norwegian again...Did I look confused when you talked to me, Martin??)
Besides from being extremely homesick in Sydney, I met Ben J(surfinstructor), he shoved me around Bondi. Then I had dinner & went windowshopping with Laura(a girl that was at surf camp one weekend) at Bondi Jct, we also went to the Taronga Zoo on sunday. And I went to Seamus'(a guy from the last Byron-group) good bye party.
Monday I went to the W&T office, got a package from home, and shared Salt sild with a norwegian girl that I booked a tour from at Backpackers World Travels' desk. Tuesday I left Sydney again...
Got the Oz experience bus to Barrington Tops, a lovely place, where 4 of us went horseriding, all of us ate pizza, most of them drank and went into the hot tub, and Leo Melvin Gay was not here
Next day we headed off to Mojo Surf Camp at Crescent Head(not as good as Waves Surf Camp of course!! :P) but oh my god!! how fun was it to surf with a yellow & black board... :D If you ever go to Mojo surf shack, make sure you get Slapper, the best wetsuit ever ever(except the one I just bought :P)
Next morning there were all the normal surf camp stories(and it wasn't about me this time YEAY!!)
We arrived in Byron Bay around 6pm, had cheap dinner & partied at Cheeky Monkeys. Funny night!! :D
Had a great friday with Brenda in Byron, doing yoga and eating pizza
On the way to Brisbane on saturday, the oz-bus had a breakfast-stop in Nimbin & stopped in Surfers Paradise for lunch, before we went hydro zorbing just in between Surfers and Brisbane. So much fun!! :D
Met up with Alex and Melvin(Ernesto), watched a movie - RV - and made dinner at their hostel. Nice day!!
Went back to Brenda and Byron Bay, where I am now. Doing yoga, relaxing, eating, relaxing, seen a couple of movies - The Da Vinci Code, March Of The Penguins - and on monday I'll leave, going down towards Sydney...
