Byron Bay

Day 66

Said bye to everyone. They're staying in Surfer's Paradise a little longer and I'm off to Byron Bay today.

Now it is raining :-(.

I arrived at my hostel 'the Arts Factory' and I must say it looks quite cool and really hippy. When I walked in, the first thing I noticed was the overwhelming smell of weed. Some people were getting high in the common room and the smell came all the way through to reception. The staff didn't seem to mind though.

In the day I slept quite a bit. When I got up I felt so depressed and wish I had extended my stay with eveyone in Surfer's Paradise. Plus I quite fancied Chris, I guy I met there too.

It seems like so much effort to meet different people all the time and getting on really well, only to say bye 2 days later. Depresses the hell out of me so I went back to bed. Then this eccentric Italian guy burst into the room and said, 'I think you sleep too much', as he saw me earlier in bed too. He was quite funny and told me I needed to go outside, so I did and ended up going into town for a drink with some German girls.

When I got back to the hostel there was a girl walking around who looked really confused. Apparently she had had too many magic mushrooms.
