So, it's christmas today - can't believe! Or actually australians celebrate on the 25th so the real party is tomorrow..
Surf camp from was great! We went surfing in some really beautiful places between Sydney and Byron Bay and arrived here on Friday. Surfing was great!! I had a good time and met a bunch of awesome people! Every day we were surfing for maybe six hours, had lunch at the beach and dinner and usually a party or movie night in the evening. O Friday we had a surf competition and I won - crazy, didn't think it went that well.. ;)
On Friday evening we went out for dinner and partying to Cheeky Monkeys. On Saturday we just went to the beach and relaxed and then had dinner in a really good Asian restaurant! On Sunday we did a tour to Nimbin which is a small crazy hippie drug town close to Byron. It's crazy how that kind of places exist!! It took like 30 seconds till the first person came to ask: "Do you wanna buy marijuana, cookies, mushrooms...?" Well, didnt' buy.. Yesterday the german girl Tina from Perth came to Byron! So nice to see her and get to spend christmas with her! In the evening we had an awesome bbq at the hostel with Tina and some people from the surf camp; Tero and Laura from Finland, Cedric from France and Canan from Germany. We had some chicken and kangaroo and corn and lots of other vegetables and garlic bread - was the best dinner for a long time!! :) Sooo good!
Today morning I went surfing with a german guy Florian - was fun but the waves were a bit difficult so it didn't go that well...
Today we'll probably have a christmas dinner somewhere and tomorrow the real christmas party! I'll probably stay here in Byron Bay till friday - it's such a nice place! Then we'll go to Fraser Island for New Years with Tero, his brother Tommi, Laura and Canan. So much fun to go with them! Laura and Tero went to Noosa for christmas and we'll meet again in Hervey Bay before Fraser. It was funny when I first met them! I was waiting for the surf camp bus on monday morning and the I just heard someone saying MOI (hi in finnish). I thought I heard it wrong and probably looked really confused and then they asked me in english if I was from Finland.. They had seen my finnish flag in my backpack.. Was so weird to speak finnish that much first time for six months but now it's going pretty well already.. ;) Laura and Tero are also from Helsinki which is cool! They arrived in Sydney on Sunday evening but their backpacks didn't.. So they did more than half of the surf camp with no luggage at all! And the lost luggage was only a beginning for Laura.. The first day surfing she broke her foot from two different places and couldn't surf anymore.. I felt so bad for her but she is awesome, had a good time and was smiling anyway! And one more thing - unbelievable! On wednesday she bit a chocolate bar and lost her front tooth! Crazy...
Merry christmas and enjoy the christmas food!! (I had noodles and tuna for lunch today.. ;)
