Its been hard to find time to write, theres always something better to do here than be on the computer.  Yesterday and the day before Sean and I went surfing with Byron Bay Surf School, it was so sick.  Our instructor was Marko, and i'd say im easily 500% better since.  we're up riding most waves consistantly now.  there was pretty good one on one time, and after everybody went back to the surf school and had beer and ozzie bbq.  pretty good deal for the money

Nights have been a trainwreck every nite since we've been here, its a hard atmosphere not to get completely hammered since everyone is so outgoing and fun.  plus goon (cheap box wine) is sooo inexpensive and the clubs/pubs/bars are awesome and theres free live music somewhere everynite.

For anyone wanting to use the internet for free, you can just go to any travel booking office in byron and internet is free for backpackers. And boogie board and bike rentals are free from our hostel.  Were hoping to hire some bikes this afternoon and ride up to the light house (most easterly point in australia) and get a good view of some wild dolphins and big sharks (since the water is crystal clear here)  then maybe a nite surf while the tide is high, but its kinda dodgy since the sharks usually feed at nite around dusk.

Three days ago we went skydiving from 14,000ft, which was pretty awesome.  tomorrow we're are planning on surfing, or maybe handgliding if they can fit us in.  tonite some dutch friends are cooking us a traditional dutch stew for dinner, and tomorrow is the sangria bbq at the hostel.  live band too, we'll prob get another massive game of flip cup going again too. the other nite we had over 30 people playing, it was alot of fun and we all got super drunk.  gotta run but ill try to update in the next few days again
