The last couple of days have been relaxing!  The surf has been good, so we have been up at 7:00 A.  I'm not really surfing yet, but having long periods of frustration interspersed with 10-20 seconds up on the board!  Its getting better, but I may invest in a lesson when I get back to Sydney.  The afternoons have been spent reading, walking into town,sleeping.  Shultzie has continued with wonderful meals for dinner and then we go into town for a few beers.  The band last night was great!  It was 3 Kiwis and a Jamaican singing popular songs to a Reggae beat.

Tonight I leave for Katoomba.  Its in the heart of the Blue Mountains and I expect excellent hiking.  Please no jokes about Wolf Creek as I haven't seen it yet.  I was told not to until after I get back to the States!  Hope everyone is doing well!
