Australia Day 9 – Surfers Paradise
Did I say the waves at Byron Bay was big and impressing? I was wrong! Yesterday I was knocked off my feat by a wave that was roughly 3 meter high. Seriously. I’m not exaggerating, the waves were huge!
We finally got a sunny day in Surfers yesterday and it was a great day.
We started off at the beach messing about in the waves having a great time. Once we got tired of the sand we went back to the hostels and sat down by the pool for a couple of hours.
We had our second home cooked meal for the trip, lamb and pasta. It was really good but we could’ve used some more seasoning ![]()
After dinner we went out and had a cuple of beers thinking that we would have a slow night since we had to get up early today to get on the bus to Brissie. We left downtime at around 9 and went back to as planned.
Once there we met up with two swedish girls we met the day before and they were getting ready to go out with a large pack from the hostel. They were also going to take the same bus as us the next morning. It took them about 2 minutes to persuade us to oin them so we sank two more beers and headed back out to town.
We came back around 2-ish (we think, we didn’t have a watch) after being out dancing which was real fun, great DJ ![]()
We managed to get up today and caught the bus to Brissie. The bus was about one hour late so we have enjoyed a nice one hour stay at Surfers bus stop. We haven’t done much today, just walking around Brissie, sightseeing as we are supposed to be. We are going out tonight but we don’t know where yet.
The hostel seems really good so far. Nice staff, clean quarters etc.
The only thing that worries us at the moment is the cyclone warnings issued at Fraser island where we are headed in just 2 days. Let’s hope it blows over, literally
