Hola boys and girls....The deal is done,I am the proud owner of Tomas's camper.It took all my cunning to get the price i wanted but he folded quicker than an origamy expert when i waved the dosh under his snout.So after a bit of faffing about changing ownership and stuff like that i finally left the big city and im not alone.Got a call from a crazy french girl ,Julie,who's heading up to Byron bay.I dont wanna be mean but this girl could grow a better tash than me,which isnt hard.She spent the first hour out of Sydney telling me all about fairies,stars and karma.
I never realised how big this country was,on the map the jump from Sydney to Brisbane looks small,but its a three day drive in the Venga bus.We drove for about four hours the first day and as it started to fall dark we ventured towards the coast in search of somewhere to sleep.After asking a few locals we were pointed in the direction of Bundi Bundi national park.It was dark when we arrived but we popped the roof of the van and settled down for the night.It was about this time that i tried to
fire up the cooker.I think Tomas had the last laugh cause the gas canister was missing,sneeky german turd!!!!!Managed to borrow gas from the guy next to us for coffee and noodles,mmmmmm!!!
After a cold night,and believe me it was pretty cold,Julie woke me up to see the sunrise.As i stepped out of the van i realised that the place we were staying was right on the beach,and the most beautiful beach at that.We made some coffee and walked down to the water.
Julie saw them first,a pod of seven or eight dolphins surfing in the waves,right up to the beach!!!!It was amazing,the water was so clear that when a wave stood up you could see the ocean floor and all the fish,just as if it was a window.The dolphins slowly moved down the beach surfing in every now and again until we couldnt see them anymore..
We packed up our stuff,had a bit off brekie and continued on our way.It was about four o'clock when we decided to find somewhere to camp again,this time it was on a beach although not as nice as the previous night.We parked up next to a bunch of students and shared some
beer and wine until collapsing to bed at about ten.The students carried on,breaking out the guitairs and murdering a version of sweet home allabama.
Julie is the first girl ive heard snoring,and i mean snoring.She poked me awake at sunrise(04.30) and we trundled off to the beach again,alas no dolphins.
Friday 6th Oct.
Drove seven hundred kms today to arrive in Byron bay in time for the full moon party that night.Booked into the best hostel ever,Im living in a tippee with seven other people.The site is amazing,right next to a swamp with a good bunch of people.Julie messed up as the full moon party is on Sat,but i headed out with her and a few others to sample Byrons nightlife.
Sat 7th.
Bit hungover this morning but managed to drag my sorry arse out of bed and get myself down to the beach ,stopping to buy a body board on the way.Spent two hours splishing about,the waves were good and i think im gonna be a pro surfer now and not come back for work.
Sun 8th
Have met up with a cool Canadian guy who lives in London.Went to a place
called Nimbin today which was about two hours drive from Byron.Julie and her new best friend,another hippie chick called Heidi came along for the ride.
Nimbin is a big hippie comune that started in the 70s and has not changed much since.There were some colourful characters to say the least.It hadnt been two mins before we were offered evertthing from weed to acid.I did notice a police station as i drove in,i dont think he has a hard job,might apply for that !!!!!Had a look around the town,got the immpression that everyone needed a damn good wash and some new clothes.Watched a game of football,a touring side from Sydney V eleven of the local crusties,by the amount of swearing and sliding tackles there wasnt much peace and love!!!!

Pro-Surfer?
U know that no-one will believe ur a pro-surfer until we actually have photograpic (maybe video) evidence of u standing upright on a board! Note that u didn't give any figures this time, but I'll take ur word that u got a great deal from Tomas on the van, I'd have held out for a pink one tho! Glad to see ur only picking up girls that have the ability to grow a tash, but (especially as u used her laptop to type ur entry!) perhaps it's not so diplomatic to put that on the internet next time! Keep the photos coming x
