Thoughts on Byron
We are set to leave Byron Bay at 4 pm, to go back to Brisbane and to head out to Fraser Island for 2 days of 4 WD hiking on the island. Byron Bay was pretty much like one big festival. Basically people here are "on a hippie trail, head full of zombie". Drunk/high people everywhere, at all times of the day, surfers, sun, beach and definately no worries mate.
Yesterday
Yesterday was basically a chill out day. We slept in 'til 11 am, and spent the rest of the day in the sun and bathing at the beach. Sophie also finally found a pair of semi long shorts she could buy, otherwise only really short ones or really long ones were to be found, in a shop that was a mix between Buttericks (a swedish prank store), various drug devices (although no actual drugs, that we could see at least), inflatible women/men (you know, Barbara), various other porn stuff, and a rack of normal things among them a pair of shorts.
Joakim also spent part of the day in a confusing phone conversation trying to confirm whether or not the Banana Benders Backpackers (where we stayed in Brisbane), had booked the tour to Fraser Island for us. It went something like this:
Dude: Whaddayawant?
J: Hi, we stayed at your place earlier this week and im trying to confirm a booking for a trip you were supposed to do for us.
Dude: Lemme check....
(one second later)
Dude: Yeah its booked man cuz you payed it right.
J: No
Dude: But then its not booked man
J: But thats the thing, you were supposed to book it and we'd pay when we got back.
Dude: So whaddayawant me to do man
J: Can you confirm if this booking is done?
Dude: Oh, lemme check man. Yeah its done man. Pay when you get back
J: Ok great
Dude: No worries mate.
Today...
...we headed up for the lighthouse on top of the mountain overlooking Byron bay. It was quite a steep sweaty walk, but we got some nice pictures for the effort. The lighthouse was supposedly at the most eastern point in Australia. Crikey!
Side note: We've heard the first aussie actually use "Crikey" in real life. Crikey!
/Tofu & Yoghurt
(and of course we are both ergonomical and aerodynamical)
