Spring Break! (part 3)

After our first, very successful night in Byron Bay, I woke up super early (as in 6am early) because I needed to go to the toilet, but when I got back I couldn't open the door of the van to get back into bed! I assumed that Karina and Noor had just locked me out and didn't want to be woken up (what actually happened is that I was trying so hard not to wake them up that I didn't pull hard enough on the door to open it haha), so I decided to take a stroll to the beach and take some pictures of the rising sun. Turns out I was a little too late for that, but got some nice ones anyway...

After about half an hour of sitting by myself on the beach watching people walk their dogs, I got bored and went back to the vans... Still thinking that I was locked out, I just went to sleep on the grass near the vans (was I still drunk or something?) and a little later, I woke up to Amanda walking past just laughing at me haha.

When everyone else was awake, we went down to the beach again, buried Aristo in the sand, and went back to the boys' camp. On the way back, we climbed up one of the banana trees and chopped off a bunch. They're currently back at Kooloobong with us ripening up! After this, we sat around in the sun while Hamish gave us all a little concert with his accordion (an underrated instrument if you ask me). We soon decided that we should have a barbecue for Noor's birthday, so we went into town and bought the supplies and used the barbecues in the camp site. For any of the English reading, a barbecue in Australia is NOT as good as a barbecue back home! They all use hot plates instead of charcoal. Sure, they have the sun here, but there's nothing like the taste of a burger that's had a little too much time on the coals, even if it is pouring it down with rain.

The large knife you can see Aristo using to chop tomatoes is Eric's 'Gator' ... It's so multifunctional!

After the sun set, we did yet more lazing around until the sun set, and then started drinking again! We went to a place called Cheeky Monkeys - probably one of the best clubs I've ever been to! The inside is decorated like a rainforest, with wooden beams and crawler plants all over the walls, and stuffed rainforest animal toys scattered here and there. Instead of a dance floor, there were a series of metal benches to dance on (something I'd never seen before) so it was great to just have such a different experience of a night club!

Then, as always, we headed back to the camp site and had some more fun until the early hours. Those pictures were an attempt (and a bad one at that) to show the decor of the club and the multi-level-ness of the dance tables haha. I would start writing about the fifth and sixth days here, but there is A LOT  to write about for those two days so I will save them for a separate blog! Keep posted x
