Next stop: Byron Bay! I have been looking forward to this stop since we started our East Coast travels. Have heard such great things about the place: really chilled out, lots of surfing, more of a 'hippy' vibe to the place, which I like the sound of, being the hippy that I am? Hmm. We stayed at the Arts Factory, notorious for its chilled-out atmosphere. Really nice place- could do with some fans, but it works. Ari and Lucy were booked in at the same time as us- loving the coincidence, so lots of fun with the girls!
On Sunday the four of us had our very first surf lesson!! I absolutely love watersports and have wanted to have a go at surfing since we started travelling, but I had no idea what to expect. So our instructors Dan and Lance did a bit of practice on the beach with us to start with, and then, armed with our surf boards, we headed out into the sea. Pretty nippy water here, but after struggling to get past a few waves you soon warm up! It was great that all four of us managed to stand up on the first
go! Woo. Can't say we all managed to stand for long, but Izzy was a natural and surfed out to shore. Nice. It took me a bit longer to get the hang of it, fell off numerous times and then it clicked and I was surfing! Well at its most basic, but surfing! Such a great feeling- can see that this will be an addictive one. Am looking forward to getting some more practice in when we go to Bali, as it will be much cheaper to hire out a board over there. Izzy and I have found ourselves a little hobby to work on!We had to move hostels after a couple of nights because the Arts Factory was booked up. We moved on to the ultra-modern Nomads Odyssey and I loved it! Polar opposite to the laid-back hippy vibe, this place was equally great but just in a completely different way. I think we enjoyed this hotel so much due to the company; we met the most fantastic group of guys from Melbourne, really friendly, and really good fun! We all went out for an evening and instead of actually getting to any particular destination, we ended up getting caught up in the street music that was playing, everyone joining in and just having a great night dancing in the street! I loved it- steel drums, saxophones and great people. I love Byron Bay.
