More adventures..

I havent updated ina while so i'll sum up what I've been up to. So the last week at spot X was amazing like usual. We had some waterfront nights( which you get when you get grom of the week). I had one aswell as Cecilia so we had some fun in those. We fianlly got through the full Hot Rod movie. They now understand my world a little bit more. Its funny cause when we meet people there like so how did you guys meet and they are like we worked at a surf camp for a while and thought she was funny and brought her with us!! HAHA. I tell people they just fell in love with me and weve been unseperable ever since. As much fun as the last week at spot X was, it weas really hard to leave that place. So many amazing people that weve gotten to know so well, aswell as new people arriving that we didn't feel like saying good bye to yet. But we took the plunge and left. It was a very emotional day and very rused. I had so many things to do before I left then all of a sudden then bus was leaving and I was running to it and saying my goodbyes. Hopefully not goodbye for forever because I really want to see these amazing friends down the road. I already have poeple lined up to come out to Vancouver! And I couldn't be happier. Louie plans to come work on the ski resorts after new years!! So wierd to be gone from my temporary home but it had to be done.

From Spot X we kind of last minute changed our plabs and did a little round about trip to Brisban for 1 night because it was the Mojo Snow Party. Everone dresses up in white and parties. I wore a 80's inspired costume... Head band, cool shirt that said Keep it real and white high socks. So fun.. There were people dressed up as ferries, bunnies, ghosts... Woke up the next day after 2 hours sleep and went to Byron for the day then off to Yamba.

Yamba is a really cool little surfers town which takes pride in the small number of people, not to many houses... They just want to keep it quiet and amazing. The first night we got there was tribal theme night for one of the people working there. So we put on our best of tribal clothes and stuck leaves and branches in our hair and smudged black makeup for dirt on our faces... Turned out pretty good if you ask me. We went surfing with Shane (owner of the hostil) the second day which was amazing. Tought us loads. And a couple days later we went with him again. The last day we went on the Shanes $10 bullshit tour. Pretty much the whole time he is winding you up for the 10 meter cliff jump that we all have to do, or he will push us off, the snake he pretends to pull out of a hole which is actually rubber, feeding what we thought were piranhas with our hands and a bunch of other things. He was such an amazing guy, so energetic and helpful. An amzing place all together.

After Yamba we headed to the Famous Byron Bay!! The first night we took it easy, still recovering from all the other nights. And friday Diede from camp surprised us and showeed up for the weekend to hang out with us!! So friday night we went to Cheeky Monkeys (some of you may have heard about this place.. known for its parties and table dancing!!) for dinner and many drinks. We won a couple jugs at our Mojo reserved table for winning the flag game (They say a country and you find the flag in the bar, take a picture and show it to them) And also alomost won the scavenger hunt.. Me and Cecilia caome 3rd and 2nd. Pretty much they name things and you have to find them and vbring them to the stage.. For example someones shirt, a condom, toilet paper, a straw... So funny... Managed to get a huge bruise from this game though. From here we went to Woodys then Buddha bar then back to Woodies. Fun night all together!! The next night we went to beach hotel met some fun guys and I had a dance battle with one of them. So fun. And the next day we went snorkeling at Julianas rock. AMAZING!! Saw turtles, soo many colourful fish and 2 sharks (harmless I believe) Just being able to see eberything in the water was such a cool experience. But im getting kicked off the computer so ill finish tomorow!!! LOVE LOVE

This morning I woke up at 5:20 am to watch the sun rise for Lukes birthday. It was Luke, Tobes and myself. So we pile kn loads of clothes because it's freezing out and head put to walk to the head land. But when we got to the bridge the tide was so high we never would have made it across unless we swam. So we called it quits and went back to sleep. 

The other day Diede and myself went to see what the waves looked like to decide if we were going to go surfing or not. There were absolutely no waves but we saw that there were dolphins out there so we ran and got our gear on ran and asked Louie if we could borrow her water proof camera and sprinted down to the beach. But when we got down there were no more dolphins so we paddled out back and just goofed around taking heaps of pictures. And Louie and Cecilia came out and joined us. I think I was out there for 2 hours without seeing any dolphins or catching any waves. By it was the best time ever. 
I went back out the next day by myself and I get to the water and look left and that's where all the waves were and I looked right and that's where all the dolphins were. So I paddled out towards te dolphins. They were pretty far out so it took a while but once I got over it was totally worth it. There were four of them swiming around, playing with each other and swiming around me and underneath me. It was crazy they came so close I could almost touch them. I was just paddling around with them for a half hour having the time of my life. It was such a crazy experience!! I wish I had had a camera. Also o e of the dolphins was a baby. 

Other then surfing we all went to the local bar last weekend on Friday for Emilys birthday and Natalie and Leannes going away party. It was really fun and we duct taped Tobes. Not sure where we got the duct tape but it was fun. We also have dance moves formlile everyone who works here so we all got up on stage and did all the dances. 
On the Saturday we went to a different pub for Mr Northern Beaches. So pretty much a beauty contest with men!! So they were all prancing around in next to nothing! One of the surf intructors was in the contest and got second place. It was a blast to watch. Pretty funny. They were all oiled up and dressed as fire fighters, cricket players, cowboys, surf instructors and many other things. 

Last week we also renovated GHQ (the place we live). It took us four days or like none stop work. So we took everything out, cleaned, painted, got new floor in the back upper area cause there were holes all the way through the floor, fixed lights, and cleaned the outside area. It is actually livable now and looks so much better then before. So me and three others had a to not fun doing that. We got rewarded by getting a waterfront for a night. So we had a girls night and bough tons of junk food and watched movies all afternoon and night. We had a candle light dinner and everything. We watched hot rod finally but all fell asleep so were going to have to watch it again. I think they are starting to understand all the quotes I'm always using from the movie now. 

I updated my iPod for the first time since January. It's so nice to have so different music. I was getting pretty sick of having all the same stuff all the time. 

On the 12 th it was Kellys birthday so I Skyped home and talked to them for a while. It was nice to see everyone and uncle Owen was there aswell. Kelly is coming out at the end of July to visit me for a month!! So I can't wait to see her!! It's going to be so Fun!! 

I'm leaving this Friday to head more up the coast. Really excited but I'm going to miss this little paradise. "Life will never be this easy" as Jacco says. But I'm ready fir a new adventure and were going to try and get work at kroombit cattle station with I've heard is really cool. There's horse back riding, quading,  dirt bike riding, gun shooting, a mechanic bull, a bar.... not so bad if you ask me!! So hopefully that works out!!  I think that's about it for now.
