We took the bus in Brisbane on Sunday at 7:00am to Byron Bay. We did not stop to Surfers Paradise as it was initially planned but it seemed to be a nice place! The weather and the beach were really nice. But guess what we found when we arrived in Byron Bay?.. Rain! But not so much as it stopped right away.
We spent the morning in the city, doing some shopping. Then we started a walk along the beach. We stopped at Watego's beach, where we had a lot of fun with the waves :) We headed to the Byron Bay Lighthouse, after stopping at the most easterly point of Australia! We went back through a nice rainforest. We eventually took the bus at 9:00pm towards Sydney.
After a (not so good) night in the bus, we arrived under a really nice sun! We first met with my friend Mr. L who hosts us before starting our visit. The first spot was Google :) and then we headed to the Queen Victoria Building. Linh could not resist to a shopping frenzy (OK, she just bought a few items...). We also went to The Rocks, and then to the Sydney Opera!
This is where we met my friend Matthieu, who arrived a few days ago for a 1-year trip around Australia (with his friend Jeremy). They showed us their van they will be travelling with, I'm sure they gonna have a lot of fun! We also had the opportunity to see Kings Cross, a very animated neighborhood where they were staying.
The next visits are not planned yet... Beaches, shopping, beaches, and maybe shopping :) We have 2 and a half days left, so we'll try to optimize :)
