On our last full day in Coolangatta we went to church in the morning, its not hard to get up because the van starts cooking at 7am and everybody in the RV park gets going around then anyway. So we made it to church on time and enjoyed singing some Chrismtas Carols. Cami was a little ticked that the intermediate hymn wasn't a Christmas song, but the talks were good and the hymns were good to sing. Then we went back to the RV park and I sent off the last bit of homework that I had for the semester and we played in the pool. They also had this big blobby thing that was kind of like a bouncy house/Blob/trampoline thing and I did a couple of flips on it.
Monday we were off to Byron Bay which is only about a forty minute drive south of Coolangatta. There wasn't really any surf or wind so we just drove down rather than stopping anywhere along the way. We hung out in Byron for a bit, lots of cool shops to see and hippies and backpackers to watch. Cami found a bunch of things that were way too expensive and resisted the urge to throw things on Credit. I don't think she's bought one thing for herself in the past five months. Window shopping was fun and we grabbed some food and then headed further south as the beaches were too busy, the surf was too low and you had to pay $2/hour for parking. LAME.
We found a nice little spot to go for a surf near Lennox Head and I grabbed a couple of waves on Cami's board, which was really fun. When we showed up it had been raining all day, except for little breaks in the clouds and I ran out in one of the breaks only to start hearing thunder right as soon as I got out past the break. I paddled in and then the sun started to break through the clouds a bit so I switched boards and went out again for a bit. They were nice little rollers, great for long boarding turns. Lots of fun and I'm happier after I've done something active as Cami will attest to.
We had an awesome meal of Fish and Chips for Dinner, and found an awesome little place just south of Lennox Head to stay the night. We went into Ballina to watch a movie, Puss in Boots, which was alright, and then came back to our spot for the night.
