Fig Tree Restaurant and Rooms Byron Bay

... to catch a picture of!<br><br>From surf camp we drove to Byron Bay where we are currently and are spending a few days. Byron Bay has been GREAT so far! A small costal town with a great backpacker vibe. Last night about 20 of us from the bus headed across the street to "Cheeky Monkey's" where we had a cheap $5 meal and beer and a great time! The bar was packed as it was a Friday night and by the end of the night half the ...

... lesson from South America and Asia where its free widespread) but the kitchen, where we cooked,was rank-it was covered in dead flys wings and they did not change the tea towels during our stay-would really put you off the food you had made.<br>One final thing we did do was run another few kms. Shar is really getting into it and doing so well for someone who has not run in ages. Sonia eat your heart out!!!<br>We left Byron on Wednesday morning and stopped off to visit Surfers ...

... the air and drink it directly from the tap (genius) aborogini's apparently have a v. low tolerance to alcohol so it is fair to say we got Kenny absolutely smashed! Now further up coast you should not swim not only rip tide but sharks and stingers also, so me and Matt think it is a great idea to get in the sea (with clothes on) and after 5 mins of being knocked around by the waves, which were pretty darn big, and yes there are photo's. The accountant in Matt speaks up and says ...

... seinen Mundgeruch inhaliert habe. *hust*<br>Hintergrund: (Byron Bay als ehemaliger Hippieort ist auf Oeko und Yin/Yang usw. bedacht und ich dachte mir, wo gaebe es einen besseren Ort, als mich mal so richtig zu entspannen. Somit hab ich mir eine Stunde Massage und eine Stunde Gesichtsbehandlung gegoennt)<br><br>Als ich mir (wie immer bisher) ein Female-Share-Zimmer gebucht habe und (warum auch immer) ein Typ in ...

... at the Arts factory I met Marcus. I was sat at the outdoor bar nervously watching the last day of the Ashes cricket. I was in no mood for chat after having watched nigh on twenty five days of cricket for it all to be made irrelevant and to be decided in just a few hours of nail-biting tension. Marcus came across, introduced himself and immediately struck me as a public schoolboy type and probably one of those who talks a good game regarding sport but actually knows very ...

... Sportlern beim arbeiten zu zusehen. Männer die nicht nur dem Ball hinterher rennen sondern sich mächtig die Köpfe einrennen danach aber wieder aufstehen als wäre nichts gewesen ist echt teilweise bis lächerlich aber auf jeden Fall atemberaubend. Keiner musste vom Feld getragen werden wie beim läppischen deutschen Fußball. Nach 2 Tagen hier geht's zu unserem nun wirklich letzten Ziel - Thailand wo wir noch mal 2 Wochen an weißen Stränden und in monströsen Shoppingcentern verbringen wollen.

... the rain we made it to the beach twice and managed to hike up to the lighthouse which sits on the most easterly point of mainland Australia. Again this is a reknowned place for spotting marine wildlife, however we failed to spot anything at all! We did eat an amazing icecream at the top though which made up for it :) The walk up was quite hard going (especially with a hangover!) as ...

... of a break in the rain to stock up with fresh bread and pyrotechnics for the leeches. At Byron Bay we parked up at Clarkes beach caravan site and hit the Information centre where we picked up as many free maps as we could carry and booked a wildlife guide for the following afternoon (7 mammal species gauranteed). We went for a grocery shop at Woolies and then bought 4litres of lambrusco for $14. We could ...

... and meet Phil from the UK who is really nice, we chat for a bit and I join him and his mate for dinner. I shower and meet the two new girls in my room who are from the US and we all go out to the bottle shop and stock up on cold beer! The evening is spent with Noa, the two US girls, Phil and his crazy mates and its a really excellent evening to round off my lasgt night in Byron. It rains hard and solid all night though and doesnt stop.

... a Disney Medley!! Blooming Marvellous! Tuesdays were Trivia night and although we didn't win the quiz (first prize lots of $$$) they randomly gave out prizes throughout the night and we won a free trip to Fraser Island on a 4x4 safari (self drive with a group of people!) Can't wait for that, doing that early Jan! So the night was a success! Didn't really par take in any other Hostel activities!! The Town Was relativley small, just ...
