Byron Bay
There are so many things that spring to mind when I hear the words Byron Bay. Art, Pies, Cookies, hippies, water, paradise…And it was all that and more. This place definitely had it going on. From the moment we arrived we were flabbergasted by the pure beauty of the place. The bays there were just exquisite.
It was the middle of winter and you wouldn't have known it as we made our way up to the lighthouse where there is a lookout that you can see over the whole bay. On our way down we noticed a huge pod of dolphins down below, we stood and watched on awe as the flipped and played and leaped through the waves, it was fantastic to see!!!
Checking out a few surfing spots for tomorrow we couldn't help but notice all the beautiful houses there, all propped up on the hills looking out over the water, what do these people do for a living!!!???
Because we were in Byron we decided to do the right thing and eat a Byron Bay Gourmet Pie, I had vegetarian Mexican and Ben had Spinach and Pesto, YUMMO!!!! Then we went and bought a cookie followed by a trip to The Byron Bay Hotel where we drank our newly found favourite beer Stone and Wood while watching some whales play out on the water. Bliss!
After this we made our way down to the beach and shared a "special" cigarette ( we were in Byron after all!) and a bag of rice seawed crisps and watched the longboarders for ages as the sun went down, very entertaining!!!
It was a veggie curry for dinner and a movie in the Spider tent before nodding off to dreamland. Thank you Byron our life is better for knowing you. xxx
