Hi all,

Well as Surfers Paradise was to be fair just a stop over I didn't do a lot! This wasn't a problem for me..... As soon as we arrived to the hostel we dumped our bags and went exploring the town. Even though I knew that it was skyscraper city, it was still strange seeing this massive, white sandy beach with huge rolling waves and then row after row of scrapers lining the shores. It was pretty cool. We walked along the beach, watching the surfers do their 'thang', had a laugh at all the lifesavers with their skull caps on - what are they all about?!! - and then walked up to the massive row of shops that lay beyond the huge silver archway of 'Surfers Paradise'. Surf shop after surf shop.... That night we relaxed, cooked and and watched a movie.

The next day I laid around the pool during the morning while Becki headed down the beach to look at the surfers! At 11 I was treated in the way the the Chelsea Vs Arsenal game was played in full - now we are talking. How Chelsea didn't take all three points, amazes me!

To Byron Bay geeves!

Bye for now
