Surf Camp

<p>These last few days (the first few of my trip) have been amazing. I'm currently headed back to Sydney for a couple days before the next leg begins. </p>
<p>The last few days have been spent at surf camp, where I've been, surprise, surprise, learning to surf. And, while sometimes pretty painful (having to board hit you) and disgusting (getting a faceful of salt water), it was so much fun!!&nbsp; Yesterday (30th), one of the instructors stayed with me, even showing g me a different way to get up in the board after I was having difficulties with the usual way and getting stuck on my knees, until I finally got up all the wat and was surfing for a few milliseconds! Ah, what a feeling. Of course, this afternoon, when he helped me again, and I got up, the feeling was even better. I hadn't quite realised I got up, and when I got up and started heading back out, his reaction made it even better! Haha. They were both super excited whenever we finally got up and got the wave.</p>

<p>It was so much fun, and it's kind of sad that it's over, but maybe I can go back sometime or something. ;P </p>

<p>Tomorrow, though, it's bridge climbing time! Ahahah! Can't wait!</p>

Four Months

It's hard to believe I've been in Australia almost four months now. The time has just flown right by. I'll be leaving the place I've called home for the past 4 months, and that's going to be kind of really weird, methinks. I'll be in a different bed almost every night for a month.

This next month is going to be very busy. I have three tours planned, totalling 22days, a day of traveling - 9-something AM to 11-something PM - and some extreme traveling - 7pm to 830pm, the same day while crowing the International Dateline. I've got a few ideas for the days where I have nothing planned as of yet. Like the Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb, and visiting the Olympic Park in Sydney, visiting the Blue Mountains, a day trip to Phillip Island, a tour of the Cadbury Chocolate Factory in Hobart, Tas (this one will happen on a free day), bungee jumping in New Zealand (might happen on the tour), as well as hitting some beaches, and don't some shopping. :)  Busy, busy, busy, but fun, fun, fun!

Until I figure out exactly what I'll be doing up until the 3rd of November, I'll be pacing and repacking my bag to try to make everything fit better. So much effort. This whole planning would be a lot easier with my laptop, but my adapter when kaput on the weekend, so my laptop is dead right now. :(  I'll be getting a new adapter when I get to Sydney though, so hopefully it won't be too much longer. *crosses fingers*

Well, I'm about ready to fall asleep...TTFN! xx
