Surfers Paradise… Apparently


28/01/2012
We spent our third and final day in Byron with the same people as the day before; spending an hour or two at the beach and in the sea before cleaning up and heading to a really nice Indian restaurant in town for Luke’s birthday [not me, another Luke].

The next day came and it was time to say bye to Byron and salute to Surfers Paradise an hour and a half further up the east coast. Surfers is a much bigger and much more commercialised beach town, with skyscrapers filling the city and lanes dotted with fish and chip stalls and tacky shops.


Again the rain has hit us (weather forecast shows rain for the next two weeks, bah, typical) which [if I'm honest] just adds to the fact that this places feels like we may as well be in Skegness. It’s obviously more of a party town which I guess we’ll experience later on tonight, but I think we’re both quiet happy to only be stopping here the one night.


We’re both now just praying for the sun to come back. It hasn’t been too bad for the past week with the showers as apart from Nimbin we haven’t had much planned activity-wise. But from our next stop onwards we have quite a lot booked, all of which is weather dependant so have everything crossed for us please!
