Yey there is sun! Amazing. I'm here in Byron bay laid back, hippie, surfer town. It;s great. After a 14 and a half hour coach journey from Sydney I arrived at 3.15 in the morning with a taxi waiting for me. It took me to the residence where Ella and Dav are staying where I too am now renting a room. It's owned by this crazy old sixtyish year old stoner, he;s tres relaxed and we pretty much have free reign of the house. I have my own room and a balcony which is so nice. It's quite weird seeing Els feels like I'm on some mad, random holiday not far from home for no reason in particular. Both of them (els and dav) looking very brown and well making me look like some kind of ill patient. Must get some colour, but also am weary of the sun. SUN SAFETY FIRST FOLKS. gonna stay here for a few days and I bought a bus pass so I;m gonna be travelling up the coast with Ella as far as possible. We've been toying around with a few ideas. I want to get the most out of this ticket I bought so we may break away and re meet. Also gonna meet with Amanda later on. Yesterday we went to the next beach place up with a friend of Davs whos been living here for a year. Suferes paradise. Was a beauts beach and beauts day bumped into Amanda thereso we probs will meet here there. I'm probably gonna change my flights to fly out of cairns not syndey cos it makes loada more sense. Plan to do a couple of days in Bangkok shopping and preparing for next leg of flight. Els is potentially coming with me as shes thinkin of coming home early, would be a bonus as she knows her way round bangkok. vamos a ver. ciao
