Chillax in Byron

First time on the left sidee of the road.

A weekend away from the city was probably the best thing we could have done right now. We went to the other side of the city Friday morning to collect the car. Both Millie and myself was suppose to drive, but because of insurance we decided she could be our driver. She doesn't trust north norwegians.Me and Cecilie on the beach.

When we finally got to Byron, we went straight to the beach. Oh, sand, sun, cold breeze and a beach all by ourselves. When I started to get restless, we picked up some very good, almost-not-greasy mexican food in the city and went to the lighthouse for a beautiful view. Back at the hostel we got ready, played some games and went out to see how Byron is by night. It's alot of fun, I can tell you!

The day after we went straight to the beach. Millie and I rented a surfboard each. It was awesome! I'm hooked, and am definietly doing that again. I even managed to stand up...For three seconds. After several hours out in the waves my stomach was filled with rash from sliding on and off the surfboard, and my back was burning red. All worth it.

The Norwegian party outside Coles. A short time later Millie and Ida went home to bed.

There's not much more to do in Byron (at night) than hitting the bottle and dance the night away. So, thats what we planned to do. Millie and me, however, were way to tired after a busy day in the waves. At 11 pm we were back at the hostel, safe under the blanket. I was glad the next morning as we had decided to get up early to drive to Nimbin.

Nimbin is a small, small hippie town about one hour drive from Byron Bay. It is colourful and relaxed. The first thing that met us was: Cookies, girls? The town is known for cannabis. Was interesting to see.

All the best,
