Once again I am waiting for a bus that will take me to Byron Bay. I have had three nights in Surfers Paradise and basically my rest did not happen mainly due to meeting a Welsh guy whilst I was quietly watching Chelsea v Wigan at the hostel. This resulted in me and a girl from my room going to meet his friends at another hostel armed with goon to steal free pizza! I think he was impressed by my pronounciation of yakki da and Clydach so thanks Grandpa! (note to Grandpa - he also said video like you!). The next day we all went to see the sights of Surfers Paradise (beach, waves, surfers, tallest residential building in the world) before deciding to try our luck at crazy golf. I think we may have annoyed the woman by losing numerous balls due to slightly over enthusiastic playing. Also it was midday and I think we may have all got a little bit of sunstroke! Anyway, we headed back to the hostel for an afternoon map before going to Dracula's Cabaret Restaurant in the evening. This was sunny! You get a ghost train to your table, all the waiters are dressed like vampires/monsters/generally freaky. You get a three course meal which was amazing and desert was ice cream in a chocolate coffin! Then they did some comedy etc. It sounds pretty tacky, and I imagine our enjoyment was heightened by wine but we had a great time!

Yesterday I did nothing but lie on the beach but the weather has taken a slight turn for the worse today so I'm not too sure how I will kill my time before the bus at 4pm. I'm sure I will find something to do.
