Breanna & Brodie – Australia Trip

Tuesday, October 15

This was a day full of travelling. We flew from Sydney to Ballina airport. We then caught a shuttle that took us right to our hostel in Byron Bay. We are staying at Aquarius Backpackers, and this hostel is so much better than our first one.

There is also an area with a pool table, ping pong, fooseball and a bar.

When we arrived here, we walked around Byron to check it out a little and then came back to our hostel where we then met some really nice people. They asked us to go out with them so we did. We played cards at the hostel for a bit and then went to the piano bar which was super cool and so much fun!

Today, we started off the morning with some yoga on the rooftop at our hostel! It was very relaxing and a nice way to start the day.

After we were done the yoga class, we explored Byron Bay a little more and then went to the beach with our new friends and played soccer on the beach. The weather was very overcast and rainy so we couldn’t really do a whole lot.

We basically spent the whole day just hanging out with the new people we met and had a very chill day.

Today, we woke up early to go on a hike to a waterfall. The hike was about an hour from Byron Bay so we had to catch a bus to get there. The waterfall was sooo amazing!!

On this hike is when we seen our first spider and hopefully the last.

We spent some time here, just enjoying the view and swimming under the waterfall.

After the hike we headed back to our hostel, had some lunch and then headed to the beach for the afternoon. We finally had a really hot and sunny day!

After we were done at the beach we headed back to the hostel to make some supper and then went to a trivia night that our hostel was putting on.

Here we met a bunch of new people, one girl from the UK, another from Hungary, another from Germany and a girl from Chile! So between us all we did pretty good on the geography questions as we had people from all over the world!

Tomorrow is our last day in Byron Bay and we catch the greyhound bus around 5pm to take us to Gold Coast! So far Byron Bay is definitely our top spot we have been to so far!
