Day 71

woke up at 5:00am. Left for my coach. Had to walk to the other side of Coffs Harbour. Not a good experience. They played John Q on the coach. Its actually a really good movie. What i saw of it anyway. Every bump in the road would make the picture cut out momentarily.

Arrived at Byron Bay at 11:00am. It is amazing. Love the town. Its like a surfing town. Really laid back until the evening. Hostel is good as well. I have an apartment with its on bathroom and kitchen. Have to share it with 7 other people but its no problem.

Met up with the Canadians from Sydney. Wade and Josh. Went surfing for the first time. I say surfing. It was more like... i don't even know what it was like but it wasn't surfing. The rented board we got had no stabiliser on the bottom so kept rolling over to one side. I tried standing a few times. Closest i got was kneeling, but then i rolled off. Gave up on surfing and used it as a boogie board until i fell of due to an over sized wave and got churned around under the surf for what felt like a minutes. Probably wasn't more than a few seconds. Still scary as hell. Luckily we weren't in water deeper than we could stand. Left the surf board on the beach and went swimming instead. Its more fun just trying to jump over the big waves. Executed an incredible swan dive which put my back out. The Canadians said that there were 2 girls checking us out from the beach. I said they probably thought we were drowning.

Went out to some night clubs. I am still not a fan of them. Don't understand it. Floors sticky the bathrooms are disgusting, Drinks are overpriced and the bouncers are all arseholes. I cant wait till I'm old enough to just go to a bar or pub without feeling like an outcast...
