I'll Try Not To Bore You...

And by saying that, I only mean it because this week has not had as much adventure as the past few weeks. But I'll update you anyways :)

Last weekend we went about an hour south of Surfers Paradise to a small beach town called Byron Bay. Gloriously beautiful place, I cannot even BEGIN to describe it. You'll just have to explore my photos, once they're loaded that is haha. Currently in the process of doing that. We mostly just hung out at the beach, ate food and gelato, and bonded. Byron Bay is famous for this lighthouse which is situated at the Eastern most point of the Australian mainland. Amazing! So we ran up there as quick as we could in order to see the sunset. However, there were 8 people for a 5 seater car. So what did we do? Hid Kristen on the floorish of the back seat, and shoved Kaitlin and Marcio into the trunk. Fantastic. Good thing the drive was only about 10 minutes.

This was the first lighthouse I have ever seen in person. I was awestruck! It was incredible and I took way too many pictures of it. The sunset was equally as beautiful....never seen anything like that. Colorado sunsets now have a competitor in my mind! We went to a place called the Beach Hotel on saturday night, it had live music and plenty of people. It was really, really fun! The town itself is so cute and quaint, definitely different than Surfers. I could see myself living there, if only for a while.

Sunday we didn't do much else besides eat food and gelato (new guilty pleasure, by the way). We were so tired! It was a lazy, rainy day. But unfortunately our bus ride didn't come until 4.30, so we ended up sleeping in the main lobby of our hostel for a couple hours. It was awkward/amazing. Ha!

We had our weekly traditional brekky this morning. Everyone meets at the cafe called Juicy Bits for some of the most delicious breakfast food we've ever tasted. Eggs Benedict with a large Chai latte is now my new favorite. And it usually keeps me full until brekky on saturday haha, which is nice. The less money spent on food the better!

Not many plans for this weekend. School and classes are starting to get tough for everyone, so people are just buckling down and studying most of the time. It's raining like crazy today, so Kaitlin and I are just going to have a movie day. Excellent work! Tomorrow, hopefully, we're hittin up the beach! Gotta love year round beach weather. It's glorious.

Hopefully I'll have some more exciting things to update on starting next week! Cheers for now!
Love!
