Surfin' Byron Bay

We were up fairly early this morning and off to surf shop.  We hired 2 boards, got down the beach and got on those waves maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.  Note the cringy "pink for girl" and "blue for boy" surf boards.

We were quite good.  Caught a few pretty good waves.  It's a good job we had a lesson in Cornwall in the summer.  It meant that it was loads cheaper here to get a board and go and play. This photo is me just about to like totally jump up and nail that wave dude.  All 2 feet of it ;-)  The waves were pretty good but not that high or powerful but we had loads and loads of fun.

While down on the beach we were snapped for the local paper - "the northern star" who were doing an article on how hot the weather is and wanted a picture of me as I "looked the part"!  He didn't seem interest in Ame.  So we're going to check the paper shops tomorrow, though I seriously doubt we'll make the cut.

Then it was back to the guesthouse to lay about after an blooooming exercising morning.  We were both a little burnt but not too bad.

Had some really good chats with the Aus family who are staying here had a couple of beers with them whilst typing this blog.

Off to the Arts Factory tonight which is the cooool place to go.  I reckon it will be good fun and there should hopefully be some live music.  07:45am bus tomorrow so can't go too crazy...  Or can we????

We'll I'm re-editing this post at 23:45 to say I thought that Arts Factory was a lot better than I thought it would be.  We had a 2 4 1 voucher on food so we had steak and swordfish on the cheap.  The bar had a wicked blues band on who we thoroughly enjoyed.  We also went to the "The Rails" which is the old train station (trains don't stop in Byron no more so the old station has been converted to a pub.

No it's time for a quick Family Guy on the old portal harddrive then time for bed.  Ame is asleep right now.  Awwwww....
