Spot X - Mojo Surf Camp

Although our weekend trip only lasted about 48 hours (of which only 8 of those we were actually sleeping), it's definitely something to put down in the books as "awesome".

Sitting in the rain on the curb waiting for the bus with backpacks and boxed wine (better known as "Goon") is where we found ourselves late Friday evening. Once the very late bus did show, however, we immediately knew this weekend was going to be worth it. A black bus, with screaming lime green designs all over it. It was a MASSIVE coach bus, and once the driver got off to officially check us it, we loaded up and found ourselves in a crowd of 40 or so Brazillians. Ha. Bring it on.

It took us about 4.5 hours to finally get to Spot X, meaning we arrived at about 1 in the morning. After a quick tour (in the complete dark, mind you) we found ourselves with two germans, one irish girl, and one scot in a hostel/dorm style room. Six Americans. Talk about a room full of party animals! Ha ha kidding kidding. After a few hours of sleep, everyone headed out to surf while I found myself walking down the beach. Did I mention it was pouring down rain? That was a huge bummer. But it managed to clear up a few hours later, and stayed clear for the rest of the weekend.

Saturday night was a big party, with live music, dancing, a DJ, good food, and wonderful new friends. We met a ton of people from all over the world, including a bunch from England. We bonded over London and Brighton, and I soon found myself more homesick for London than ever. Needless to say, their wonderfully amazing accents didn't help either. But it was still a good time! We went for a moonlight walk on the beach after the band finished playing, and then found ourselves back in bed, if only for a few hours again.

The atmosphere at Spot X was amazing. Everyone was so chill, the ocean was amazing, the music was lively, and everyone was having such a good time. I could have stayed there forever! Alright, maybe just a week or two. But still. Definitely a place to go back to at some point.

The kids all went surfing again Sunday morning while I ventured out to a rocky point on the beach. It was beautiful! I took over 200 pictures in 48 hours time. How fantastical. On the way home we stopped in Byron Bay for dinner and quick look around, although 45 minutes was hardly enough time. We've already decided to head back there for a weekend as soon as possible! We got home last night tired, sore, and somehow still hungry.

I'm pretty sure I slept for 11 hours last night. However! It was the best sleep I've had since I've been here, so no complaints. My entire body is sore, and I really have no idea why, since I didn't surf. I'll get pictures up to Shutterfly/Facebook as soon as I can! Hopefully my shutterfly link works for everyone...? If not, shoot me a comment/email and I'll see what I can do.

Love!
