Our final day in the bay! The weather was worse than yesterday, so after we checked out at 10am we read for a bit, before walking to the cinema to see what was on. We chose a film at 1.30pm and bought some lunch in Woolworths before heading back to the hostel to read and eat. I got a drunken phonecall from my mum and godmother which was funny. They are going to Thailand on holiday soon and were telling me how they are going to go a full moon party! At 1pm we w...

We had a nice long lie in and got up at 11ish. It had been raining and the temperature had dropped a few degrees so we didn't really have the beach as an option. Instead we spent the day doing nothing, just reading really. We did some laundry as well, but that's not very interesting. At one point Vicky and Hannah went to Woolworths or something, so I went to a bakery and bought Hannah a birthday cake and got back just in time to hide it under my bed. We went fo...

As per usual we got up and made our way to the beach to commence sunbathing. After a couple of hours Hannah went off to hire a surfboard, as she has had surfing lessons in Cornwall before.

After a while though I decided to go and join the other two and see how they were getting on, and Hannah persuaded me to have a go. I dra...

Another similar beachy day in Byron Bay! I felt disproportionately hungover considering I only had some goon, and then two drinks in four hours at the club. It must be the heat, or I am getting old and can no longer cope. I treated myself to a chocolate milk, as they always make me feel better, and then we went to the beach. It was a bit hotter today, without a cloud in the sky, and I couldn't cope at first. I spent an hour or so under a tree in the shade befor...

Not a lot to report really! Byron Bay is a lovely little beach town, full of tanned people and backpackers. We just got up, had some breakfast and headed straight to the beach where we spent the whole day. There was enough of a breeze that we managed to stay in the sun all day (technically a bad thing, but we want tans. I have been wearing factor 30!) After a number of hours just reading our books and napping, occasionally taking a dip in the sea to cool off, ...
