Every day is like Sunday

I wonder how much I can write in 15 minutes because my new (amazing) hostel has one downfall. That downfall is that the Internet is pretty ridiculously priced.

So Byron Bay was outstanding....Camping was really cool, and we met some really funny neighbours/people. So Thursday we headed to Surfers Paradise. Surfers was pretty much exactly what I was expecting, upon arrival. Very touristy with a lot of goofy looking sky scrapers along the beach. Other then the beach most people just wait for night to go and party, like vampires. Not that I wasn't guilty of that as well, but that is the main attraction to Surfers. I didn't really do any theme parks etc when I was there...mainly just walked around and perhaps participated in some late night festivities.....So I was in Surfers from Thursday-Sunday. Good times were had, and our Hostel was really cool.

Today @ 3:30 our bus picked us up @ the Station and headed our asses over to go Zorbing and then to Brisbane. Zorbing was really cool. It's basically a big rubber ball that you go into with two other people. They put a bunch of water in it and then roll you down a hill. I got people to take a video of it, so I'll post it when I get to a computer that will take my memory card.

Anyways Brisbane seems really chill and relaxed. When Travis and I were hanging out 'downtown' waiting for the hostel bus to pick us up we saw quite a few sketchies and began to grow a little weary. One real strange man wanted to sell us his ugly van, and some other girl was walking down the street like a zombie reading a book with some other zombie friend. Upon arrival to the hostel though I must say I was really impressed. Apparently The Smiths song every day is like Sunday, is supposed to be about Brissy. Even though today is a Sunday, I can see how that is. It's refreshing to be in a city that still has a chilled out vibe, but isn't ALL hamocks and hippies all day. Not to sound like I'm whining, but I'm just a fidgety individual. Eventually I get sick of the country life.

Anyways gottta go I'll post some pictures along with the zorbing video very soon.

Love:
Chrissy
