Hello from Byron Bay!

I found on on Tuesday that due to some cancellations, I didn't have to work on Thursday OR Friday!
Coupled with the Queen's birthday on Monday, this meant I had an unexpected 5 day holiday!

It was a bit of a rush, but I managed to book a flight to Byron Bay for a bit of a surfing boot camp. Five lessons over five days with Terry of Kool Katz fame. I had my first session yesterday. It was great fun.

Byron Bay is a beautiful place. It has a reputation for being a bit of a hippie hang out, and I can understand that. I passed at least two drum circles on the way to the beach.

I'm staying in a hostel right outside of Byron Bay. It's a clean, friendly kind of place. I paid a bit extra for a single room. I'm getting curmudgeonly in my old age and demand a certain solitude.
