Byron Bay

We went to my favourite, favourite place here in Australia, Byron Bay, the other weekend. It's a very chillaxed, laid back, surf loving, almost bohemic little town. It also happens to be the most easterly (or eastern/easternly/eastish whateva) place of Australia. I happened to have three days off from work in a row so we flew up to the Gold Coast on cheap Virgin Australia staff tickets.

The nature in Byron Bay is incredible. It's a much more tropical climate than Sydney and you tend to find quite a few weird plants, birds, animals and trees.

 Our friendly neighbour, a gecco called Lenny that resided under our cabin.

Some colourful parrots!

Byron Bay is all about surfing and spending time on the beach. The beaches here are beutiful and the waves near perfect, even on a bad day.

 

Byron Bay is also known for it's organic and locally sourced food. There is an organic cafee in almost every corner. I also bought some organic skin care made in Byron.

The yummiest paella I've ever had! Pallea for two at The Balcony xxx

The after surf 'aftersurf' is not that bad either. :)

 

Today I woke up late, at about 12 and went for a 1km swim in the pool. Sooo refreshing after a night out!
