Byron part 2

I have been meaning to get to an internet cafe that I can upload pictures at, finally got to this one with my camera but forgot my transfer cable...oh well. Been in Byron for almost a week now. We spent our first 3 nights in a hostel that was really close to the beach. Met some more really cool people, including these 2 english guys, woody and wolfy, who we ended up hanging out with mostly while staying at the hostel. They have both been traveling for about 1 year and I think it was woody that had managed to rack up 18,000 pounds in debt (thats about $50,000 canadian!!). Idiots, but at least they know how to do it right.

After our 3 days staying in the backpackers we moved to a camping ground, which was nice because it was by the beach. Unfortunatly the great weather that we had before finally broke and we spent 2 nights in our tents in rain. So today with our heads down we moved back into the luxury of the hostel that we were in before. Other than that we have ended up at the same backpackers bar twice, which is one of those places that is fun but supposedly makes much more sense when your abosolutely slaughtered. It was still a good time and it was something we never really did in Sydney. I don't really know why but in Sydney we didn't really feel like we were backpacking and its a big city so there are more options.

Other than that there really is not all that much to do in Byron. The past 2 days the surf has been really calm, so its easy to catch the small waves but we can't do much on them. The beach is also really great for skim boarding because it is really flat and waves wash up really far. Thats all for now, we are just trying to get as much surfing in as possible before we have to sell our board and move on.
