The Whitesundays Stole My Socks

Byron Bay

Brett and I trucked down to Byron Bay for a couple days and had a god ol time. First night we met up with a a few guys from Quebec, England, and China.

Went out after the greatest supper to date: Expired coleslaw and hamburger buns (also expired). The grocery store was gracious enought to put them on sale at a reduced price. Good guys!

Went to Cheeky Monkeys and it was a train wreck. People were dancing on tables and alot of girls were making their fathers proud (that was sarcasm). We met up with some interesting girls, with one in particular standing out. She had red hair and the longest braid I had ever seen. Brett and I were facinated by it and had to touch it. We nicknamed her 'Pippy One-Stocking'.

Highlight of the night was me deciding that I danced enough and needed to get off the dance floor .... Thing is I fogot I was not on the dance floor, but in act on a table. Walked of the edge like Wiley Coyote off the edge of a cliff. Was mostly able to catch myself, but the landing was such an awkward jolt I threw my drink in my face. I AM the sexiest man alive.

NEXT MORNING

Brett and I sign up for surf lessons and discover that the rest of our class is swedish girls (thank you Jesus). We insist the instructors call us 'assistants' in front of the girls. I also claim that I won the Quicksilver Pro. This lie is quickly proven just that - a lie. As I spend most of the time underneath my board, flailing around as my board takes out innocent swimming bystanders. beautiful.

We joke around with the instructors and end up having a blast with them. So much in fact, that when they ound out we were looking for a place to stay, they offer their place for the night. We agree.

Partying with surfers is a blast. End up watching surf videos, drinking, eating sushi, and drinking. Cooney, a korean surfer, is some sort of chef back home and made all the sushi. This is the best sushi I have ever had. I would go gay for Cooney if he'd make me sushi everyday.

After the sushi was done, along with all the rye, beer, and weed (for Cody), we struck of to the bars.

Another great time as we swing thru a few bars. One bar had rye and coke on special! ....

"hey there, how much is you're Canadian Club?"
"$4.50"
"....are you sure?"
"yeup"
"I'll have ten!"
"pardon?"
"ten please!"
"what?"
"four"
"coming right up"

Hervey Bay

Brett and I walked for over four hours in Hervey Bay with the highlight o our trip being able to sit down at a grocery store to drink our juice.

We are going to tell people we don't like to visist Hervey Bay. And that they should stay at least for three days. And just bring sandals.

We will never be back.

Airlie Beach Coming Soon! And how I lost my last pair of socks!
