I got here two days ago.
It took me five hours on a crowed bus from Brisbane.. Most of the people were backpackers, travelling around Australia or around the world, just like the Swiss woman I met. Asia, Australia and South America: these are her destinations. We had interesting chats, we agreed on lots of different subjects, from politics to environment to way of living .
Once in Byron a shuttle bus from the hostel picked me up. Great service! And amazing hostel! I thought it was good but not SO good! It is in the middle of the Australian forest, with 5 acres of land all around. There is a swimming pool and a small Jacuzzi (heated) open till late at night! The same day I got here I spoiled myself in the Jacuzzi.. empty pool, stars above me and palms around me. A fresh wind played gently with my hair.. I was in heaven! and I will be till tomorrow morning when I head down to Port Macquire.
The bay is amazing.. clear water, empty beaches, seagulls and crabs.
Both yesterday and today I woke up early in the morning and went for a walk along the bay.. I kept on walking for three hours, climbing rocks in order to go to the next beach.
I also went for a day trip in the rainforest. An unforgettable experience.
And last night we had a storm! one of those tropical ones, that starts slowly with some wind and then you have rain pouring down and lightning and thunder! I was at the hostel by that time having dinner.. The sound of the rain in the forest was quite scary. You could not talk to the one next to you.. it was too noisy! after that a fresh night came along.. I needed it! Another unforgettable experience.
