Victoria's at Wategos Byron Bay

we visited the crystal castle today, well its not a castle but it is on top of a hill and full of crystals!
a very magical and spiritual place, and im sure we will visit it many more times in the future.
the castle is located at a potent intersection of earth energy lines! and the building was ...

... consisted of me and two Danish lesbians. Now, I'm no expert at such things but this is not what I had been led to believe Danish lesbians looked like. Norwegian welders, maybe. The propaganda from Denmark seems to paint an altogether different picture. They were pleasant women, certainly, but they strongly resembled Art Garfunkel and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Looks are not everything and beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that but when you are promised so much ...

... random crapy place called Armidale. We were put in a tiny caravans and it didnt help that it was freezing cold. So was not a happy bunny then. We then had to get up the next day at 5.00am to get the bus to Byron Bay!! Got checked in and our hostel was right outside the main bar so you can guess what i have been doing every night! he he The hostel is much bigger than my last one but out rooms are smaller ...

... the beach to a break called Lenox and we geared up in light wetsuits. The temperature was pretty mild and the water was actually warm. However, the waves were a lot bigger than I was cool with, so I will fast forward on the lesson and just say that surfing will probably not be the sport I am most passionate about! I'm glad to say I "surfed" in Australia - and call it a day! Melissa got some pointers from our instructor for a spot in Byron, so we finished the lesson and headed back ...

... got slightly hooked into The Biggest Loser (a weight loss reality tv show where the person who looses the most weight that week is the winner) and So you think you can dance, a dance tv show slightly like the X-Factor except all the contenstants have talent and are all there because they love dancing and not because they want to be famous!! Edit: Oh yes, I remember now that I woke up at 5.40am to try and walk to the Cape Lighthouse to see the sunrise but woke ...

... know that the fires still persist, some still being started by uninformed people. Our condo is a simple one bedroom bachelor suite with a kitchenette. It is air conditioned with a small pool and underground parking. We have chilled out and watched a number of movies in the evenings but mainly go to bed early. We have met a lot of interesting people and have enjoyed learing about other ways of life. Hope you are all enjoying our blogs and photos, we appreciate your comments. K&D

... treated too. The waves were so clean you could have eaten your dinner off of them, the sea warm and the sharks and jellyfish thankfully absent. We got a couple of great days bodyboarding and surfing in (improving over the couple of days somewhat) and also took a nice cycle up around the beach, up to the Eastern most point in Australia (or so i'm led to believe). Byron is defintely a party town as well and ...

... loud, very American accents, their failure to walk on the left side of the path like Australians, and their general annoyingness...) followed by four busloads of Japanese tourists who must have been stopping for their lunch break because they all had their own individually wrapped package of sushi. Eughh. We fought off the swarms of tourists and drove back to town. Clearly we got our timing right with that one. So we found a random parking lot, broke out the eski and ...

... Byron Bucht ist heute noch beibehalten. Am selben Tag buchte ich eine Reise zu Nimbin, was ein ganz spezieller Platz in der Bundjalung eingeborenen Kultur hält. Nimbin und seine Umgebung sind mit den Geschichten reich, die zu der Traumzeit zurückfuehrt, Ruheplatz von Warrajum, der Regenbogenschlange und einen Ort des Heilens und der Einführung erreicht. Das Wort Nimbin kommt von der Legende der Nimbinjee Leute, die auch das Totem des lokalen Whiyabul Stammes sind.

... t so we thought we'd be constructive, get our C.V's updated, and check out some local papers to see if there's any work around. With our new C.V's printed copied and stapled we took a walk around town, taking in the sights and smells and handing out a few copies here and there. Okay we handed them out every bloody where but there's no harm in being pro-active is there ...
