Holly’s Travels

I am now writing this from Byron Bay. Our Journey here was really fun. We left Sydney about 6.45 on tues morning and had a long day of driving. Although we did have a few stops including a Koala hospital which was really cute! A woman called Bridget took us round and she was just absolutely hilarious! She told us that after she finished the tour she was off to her daughters house to go swimming naked! And that everyone should experience peeing in the sea. It was so random but so funny! Plus we actually got to see koalas climbing a tree, normally all we see is them sleeping!

After the koala hospital we got to our surf camp in spot X around 5pm. Then we got shown around the camp by some surfer dude, settled into our cabin and then had some dinner. Spent the evening round the camp fire chillaxing with some goon! Was a very nice evening. In the morning we had a surf lesson. As you can imagine I was amazing! NOT! Well I stood up a few times but wasnt the best, was really fun though!! Alice and Mikaela managed to surf all the way to the beach so wooo for them 🙂

We left surf camp around 1 and had another drive till we got to Byron at about 5. Our accomodation is really cool here! We’ve got an apartment (not as glamourous as you may be thinking) uiits got a kitchen and a lounge and then two doors to the bedrooms with 4 beds to a room. Me Alice and Mikaela are in one room and then Bob and Jack (other friends) are in the other with 2 other guys but its pretty fun. Last night we went to a bar called cheeky monkeys!!!! We could dance on tables etc but they were pretty dangerous, few bruises this morning!

Today we went to the beach but it starting raining shortly after we got there so we left and did some more Laundry! Ha but this time it was a success!!! YAY all perfectly clean and dry! Spent the rest of the afternoon in the apartment and cooked ourselves dinner this eveing. I may have burnt my fingers which wasn’t fun! Typical of me though!

Tomorrow we are off on a trip to Nimbin. We plan to stay in Byron till monday morning!

Hope everyone at home is well! And in case your wondering I do get all your comments which I enjoy getting! Can’t believe we’ve been in Oz two weeks tomorrow!!!

Think thats all for now!

We spent th 

Right so the weather hasn’t been so good this week, but we are still having fun.

 We went on another party type bus thing again on saturday, but it just wasn’t the same! But still had a good evening.On Valentines day, it was absolutely pouring down with rain, so we decided to go to the cinema with two friends, Mikaela and Camilla. And guess what we saw, thats right, Valentines day! Good old chick flick and we loved it!!! Then due to rain decided to go back to hostel and just relax for a while! In the evening we went to WAGAMMAS!!!! Ahhh it was amazing 🙂

So today, we thought we definitely need to see the opera house and the harbour bridge. We tried to find it the other day but it ended up we were on the wrong side of the harbour (typical of us) but we got ourselves a map today! Woke up to glorious sunshine, so decided we’d walk all through hyde park and the botanical gardens which were very pretty. Looked at Mrs Macquaries chair and then walked all round to the opera house and half way over the bridge! Have a fair few iconic photos, some of which it looks like the background is a backdrop someone has superimposed in!

Anyway we then decided to go to dinner and had one of the best curries ever!

Have decided I prefer Melbourne as much as Sydney is amazing and everything I couldn’t live here, its so much bigger and spread out than we expected, it takes like an hour to get to a beach! But hey we still like it, and now we can get ourselves around it’s not so bad! We have done A LOT of walking!!!

Oh and the washing we did the other day, didnt quite go the way we expected. Me Alice and our friend Mikaela decided it would be cheaper etc to shove everything in one washer, and then shove everything in the dryer. Oh hey pink clothes! Nevermind, it’s like having another wardrobe!

Anyway we must go pack and shower soon, as we have an early start! 6am!!!! The bus is picking us up and we drive up to byron bay staying over night at a surf camp and having a surf lesson. We think thats what we’re doing anyway! Will report back soon.
