Surfers Paradise
I wasnt very well, infact I had flu the whole time we were in Surfers paradise so I didnt see any nightlife :-( but the others tell me I wasnt really missing out as its just like clubbing at home....!
During the day we went to the beach a lot which was good but the sun goes behind the high rise apartment blocka about 3pm......brrrrrr cold!
Im glad if I was going to be ill anywhere that is was Surfers because even though it is called Surfers paradise the surf isnt very good and the place was a bit strange, almost like the USA in some ways. So onward to Brisbane it is!

Byron Bay
We arrived in Byron Bay around 3pm had a nice walk around town. Its so cute! Everyone is either a surfer, a hippi or a backpacker. The atmosphere is really laid back here and there are lots of really cure shops and cafes. The beach is gorgeous and the surf is good so it was a great place to practise those skills we learnt at Spot x ( surf camp)
Saturday was anzac day and for the Aussies a momentus day! We spent the day chilling on the beach in the sun....now this is what Australia is about. Sun, sea surf and shots! On that note we went to cheeky monkeys tonight which is conventiently located just across the road from our hostel! Dangerous! So after a few cheapy drinks in our room followed by a few more and then a few drinking games we headed out. It was a wicked night. I got myself involved in a few challenges on stage in true Danielle fashion....but it did prove a good move when i won myself $30 worth of free drinkies! yey!
Sunday was one of my worst hangovers EVER! no kidding! oh well! I dragged myself to the beach with the others. Me and Claire decided to go in the sea for a dip....wrong! The current was huge, Claire managed to lose her sunglasses ( after already losing her camera and back card the night before :-( ) Not good! But we literally had the giggles for about an hour in the sea! sooooo funny - wave bashing etc. We spent Sunday night with a bbq a film!
We left Byron Bay on tuesday to go to Surfers Paradise :-( I loved Byron Bay and wanted to stay, will definatley be coming back here!

Surf Camp
So after a very early morning after a pretty late night we travelled to Surf camp....! The bus managed to break down even before we had left which meant we could have had 2 extra hours sleep grrrrr! Oh well! Finally it got sorted with a replacement bus but it wasnt big enough for everyone so scooter ( thats our bus drivers name?! yes weird) asked 6 of us to volunteer to go on a smaller bus most of the way so we volunteered being the nice people we are. We got on this little mini bus, waited for our other driver when this really starnge looking man got on with huuuuuge big buck teeth ( really big) and started talking about his obsession with pigs. We were all pulling faces behind his back as were a little bit freaked out and then he pulls his ugly hat off and the minging teeth out and starts cracking up laughing! It was really funny but at the same time we were mortified as he then made us feel really bad for judging him.......oooopsy! I giggled most of the journey about it! ha! Today was a long day of travelling especially with a hangover and a half. We finally got to surf camp in time for dinner and we crashed pretty early as we knew we had yet another 6am rise.
So we got up at 6am as requested had brekky and then headed to the briefing area. The surf instructors were just a little bit ( a lot) attractive which didnt help pretty much all of the girls concentration ha! Anyhow we then headed down to the beach for our surf lesson. Most of us a little scared but after about 5 minutes we were all determined to get up and ride those waves and it didnt take us long before we did! It was amazing! yeeeeeeeow! ( this is what u have to shout if u get up!) Surfing is soooooo tiring but addictive we had so much fun. Pictures to follow.
We left surf camp to head for Byron Bay at lunchtime.
