Checked out of the Surfers Paradise hostel in the morning, and caught the shuttle to the bus terminal.\u00c2\u00a0 Jenny was supposed to be on the same bus, but there was no sign of her.<\/p>\n
I thought the bus to Byron Bay was an hour longer, but it turns out I’ve switched time zones again.\u00c2\u00a0 Byron Bay is the most easterly part of mainland Australia, and a nice quiet town compared to the touristy party town of Surfers Paradise (but there’s still tons of tourists here).\u00c2\u00a0 I walked around town for a while, and had intentions to check out the lighthouse, but when I reached a lookout area (Captain Cook’s Lookout, maybe?), I decided it was a tad far by foot (at least with an empty waterbottle), so I decided to walk along the beach instead, and headed back to Main Beach.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 The hostel has free bikes for 3 hours, so I may go out tomorrow.<\/p>\n
Went to see if Nicky was working, as she is supposed to be in Byron Bay.\u00c2\u00a0 Turns out she is on the night shift, so I walked around town for a bit, and got some lunch at the grocery store.\u00c2\u00a0 Headed to the hostel Nicky is working in, and said hello.\u00c2\u00a0 Chatted with her for about half an hour, then parted ways.\u00c2\u00a0 She said she might be at the hotel bar (which is a nice bar near the beach that plays live music), so I said I’d maybe see her there.<\/p>\n
Headed back to the hostel for a nap, and to shower.\u00c2\u00a0 Had some dinner then headed over to the bar. \u00c2\u00a0 Watched some tennis (the Australian open is underway), but the live music was a DJ, which was a bit of a shame.\u00c2\u00a0 No sign of Nicky, so I left after an hour or so.\u00c2\u00a0 Read for a bit in the hostel, then hit the sack.\u00c2\u00a0 There’s yoga at 8am in the morning, so I may try that out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
