Good news: surfing was AWESOME... I was able to get up on my board a few times and never wiped out too terribly! We were at Spot X surf camp which is directly on Arrawarra Beach. There were dolphins in the water (which was great because dolphins= no sharks!) and the water was actually warmer than the air.
Bad news: It was freezing the night we stayed at Spot X, our cabin door didn't close all the way and we didn't have heat.... and now I'm sick :( Fever, chills, etc. The bummer is I'm in Byron Bay, which is this really cool hippie town and don't get to enjoy it since I spent all day in bed.
My hostel in Byron Bay is fabulous... they're actually guest houses, but have a few 4 person rooms. Last night I only shared the room with 1 other girl, and I think tonight I'm on my own (she may have moved out since I was up half the night coughing... ooopsss). There's an amazing porch and you can sit and listen to the ocean. Theres a few English guys staying there and a few couples from Australia. Very much an older crowd compared to a normal hostel, but its so relaxing and peaceful- which has been great since I'm not feeling well. I'm hoping to beat this bug so I can go to the Cape Byron lighthouse and see a little bit of the town tomorrow before I catch the bus to Brisbane.
The free internet at my travel agency doesn't allow you to upload pictures from camera or disk, but I'll try to find someplace to do it soon... I have some really cool pictures from surfing (they were a total rip off, but I wanted documentation that I was actually successful!)
Brisbane is next and is my last stop before all of the excursions start. I have 2 nights 1 day there and then head to a guided Fraser Island trip, sailing trip, 2 nights in a wildlife preserve and then the rainforest... ah! Send healthy vibes my way... I'm going to need them!!!
