Byron Bay!

7th April
Me and Amy arrived in Byron Bay around 3pm and checked in at our hostel - Cape Byron YHA. We had a walk around the town and had a look at the beach for abit before going to meet Donna and Angela who were also staying in our hostel! We went to Cheeky Monkeys for a $5 dinner and our free glass of champagne before heading back to the hostel to drink goon! Hannah was meeting us which was exciting! We managed to pick up some strange ozzie stragglers on the way too, one in particular who was obsessed with Amy and would not speak to anyone else and followed her around for a while! After filling ourselves up on Goon we went back to Cheeky Monkeys and danced on the tables! I love Byron Bay!


8th April
Amy dragged me out of bed around 10am and we headed straight to the beach as the weather was amazing! Donna, Angela and Hannah joined us too and we sunbathed and listened to One Direction (standard behaviour now for me and Amy). We went in the sea which was hilarious. We survived the waves until we decided to get out where we all stood up and got taken out by probably one of the biggest waves i have seen. I stood up shocked and looked over to Amy who had a pair of broken sunglasses in her hands and her bikini bottoms had fallen down. It was amazing! Unfortunately for us as we were laughing about the first wave, a second one came and took us down too! It was pretty scary and my face even dragged on the sea bed! After this one i literally ran out so i wouldnt get taken again. Unfortunately i had lost my sunglasses (thankfully they were cheap thailand fakes) and had a face full of sand. 
After all this excitement it was time to make a BBQ on the beach! We even tried Kangaroo which was really nice! After a nice Easter Sunday with our BBQ and cider on the beach we went to meet the boys Charlie, Nico and Dan who had arrived from Surfers. They didnt have anywhere to stay so we hid them in ours! Then we drank more goon playing drinking games and went to Cheeky Monkeys! I dont remember anything past playing drinking games but apparently i fell over in the middle of the road and passed out around 1am...interesting! Goon is so lethal!


9th April
I woke up really confused over what had happened the night before and felt awful! Luckily most of the others felt just as bad! Someone in our room told reception about the boys staying in our room so they got chucked out and then we went to the beach to sunbathe! I think the fact that Nico was sleeping in the middle on the floor was the last straw for someone haha! After the beach me Amy and Hannah went for a walk to the most Easterly point in Australia and to the lighthouse which had amazing views! Hannah decided it would be a good idea to go a different way down...we soon ended up in some forest jungle in pitch black! It was so scary and i tried so hard to block out the noises of rustling in the bushes, there must have been so many spiders and snakes ergh! Eventually after what felt like a lifetime we saw a main road and got straight on it and headed back to our hostel! We then did the standard goon/cheeky monkeys mix for the night!


10th April
We had to check out by 10am which was fine as we were going on a daytrip to Nimbin, some town that is known for weed and drugs. We first went to a waterfall, probably the worst waterfall i have seen in the past 4 months (and there have been alot!) before heading to Nimbin. Its basically a street where people ask you every 2 minutes if you want to buy drugs. They were all mental but it was funny and we may have tried some special cookies! Oops! Me and Amy slept the whole way back on the bus! 
Amy then left for her bus to Newcastle and i met the boys and sneaked into their hostel for the night! This was amazing as i got to save on a nights accomodation - win! I was supposed to be on a bus to Sydney but decided to stay an extra night as i loved it so much! We played lots of drinking games with goon and then went to Cheeky Monkeys - suprise suprise! I dont remember anything after 1am again, goon is so lethal i really need to stop drinking it!! 


11th April
 This was my final day in Byron and we didnt really do anything apart from sleep and sit around. Although i went to Hannah's hostel for lunch as she made a big spag bol - perfect hangover cure! I had a night bus leaving at 8pm so had to say bye to the boys! This was very weird as i had spent the past 5 days with them! I had to say bye to Hannah, Donna and Angela too which was even more weird as i met them right at the start of oz. Im starting to get really sad now as i know the end of oz is so close :( But at least i was on my way to Sydney, my final destination in Australia with Amy there waiting for me woohoo!
