Surf Camp 4
Day 73
So exhausted all the time from this stupid Tonsillitis. We go out surfing for a few hours each day but after 10 minutes, I'm fucked. It's all the fighting through the waves that's the most tiring.
Well at least I'll be off these tablets in time for Christmas.
I've been in a room full of Germans at the moment. Germans are everywhere.

Day 72 Surf Camp 4
18th December 2008
Surf Camp 4
Day 72
Tried surfing again today. Anyone who has ever had Tonsillitis will know all about the migraines, complete lack of energy and crap feeling it imposes. Anyone who has ever been surfing will know that the above symptoms do not mix well with the sport.
At night, the group sat around a fire near to the beach and we ended up drinking games (which I can't take part in because I'm on Penicillin). It was fun though and as we were mostly in darkness, no one seemed to notice I wasn't drinking alcohol. Or they did and didn't say anything.

Day 71 Surf Camp 3
17th December 2008
Surf Camp 3
Day 71
I was told this morning that last night I shouted out in my sleep, 'it's OK everyone, I'm beginning to feel better now!'. I think all the sea water that I am swallowing whilst trying to surf is helping my throat.
Am feeling better about the Christmas thing too. I checked my emails. Katie and Gemma (who I met in Cairns and was meant to go to Port Douglas with but never did) have invited me to go with them to Bondi Beach for Christmas day :-).
The surfing isn't going too well. Surfing is better when you don't have tonsillitis. I have tonsillitis. Plus sunburn that makes it look like I've dipped my arms in red paint. Not a good look.

Day 70 Surf Camp 2

Surf Camp 2
Day 70
I stayed in all last night, which was a bit shit. I want to get better fast and all but I'm also scared that I'll be spending Christmas on my own. I don't want to spend Christmas on my own. That's what I'm worrying about.
There's lots of people I met onmy travels who are in Sydney for New Year like Erik (Brisbane ginger ninja), Tim (Fraser Island) and Lisa (Cairns), but they aren't in Sydney for Christmas.
And it's not like I can make any friends here when most of the time I am lying in bed.
Some of the guys I met in Surfer's Paradise are in Sydney for Christmas but I don't want to be like a tag along and invite myself to join them. This is the problem with only spending a few days in each place I visit - it's really hard to make good friends that fast. Maybe I am overthinking the whole thing but if I'm on my own for Christmas I'll be crushed.

Day 69 Surf Camp 1

Surf Camp 1
Day 69
Feeling slightly better than I did yesterday morning, which is good.
I have started a 5 day surf camp, going from Bryon Bay to Sydney. It's mad that I have Tonsillitis and am going surfing as energy levels are so low. It was cool though - I managed to stand up and surf once at the beginning of the lesson. After that I had no energy to physically swim and jump up on the board again, but it was good fun.
When I got back to the camp, I slept and stayed in bed. I still feel ill. Can't drink either on these Penicillin tablets. Wank.
