Hippy Adventures in Byron Bay
Driving to my first stop in Byron Bay was very easy and relaxed...people don't tailgate or get aggressive. The pace of driving is very similar to the pace of life...chilled.
Byron Bay is beautiful...White sands, excellent surf and a majestic lighthouse overlooking all of the beach below.
Byron Bay is also like stepping back in time to the 70s hippy culture! I have never seen a place with so many crystal shops, aura readers, incense, health food shops and yoga retreats. Brisbane was almost horizontal but this place is horizontal..sleeping...
People are friendly, but like the friendliness of the states, I have questioned this a few times...I wonder if anyone else has had this experience?
The place is littered with surfer 'dudes' in brightly coloured shorts... I hope to book a surfing lesson before I depart for Coffs Harbour minus the shorts!

Hi Jean,
I've just spent the first part of my Monday morning catching up with all your travelogues! What can I say... Wow! It sounds like you're having an amazing time, I feel as though I have walked with you through the botanical park in Singapore, and sat with you on the deserted beach in Herve Bay. I could almost feel the sand between my toes and the warm sun on my skin.
I am so pleased that you are having such an amazing time, you truly deserve it. I'm incredibly impressed by how brave you are heading off to the other side of the world on your own - after this, nothing in life will seem as difficult. If you can do this, you can do anything!
Keep having the time of your life!
Love you loads

P.S. Do you remember my friend Carol? She's in Oz for the summer, doing a bit of a tour - I'll email you her mobile number, who knows your paths may cross while you're there! :o)
Hey Sixties Girl,
You seem to be moving at a great rate across the world!
On Saturday me and Sam enjoyed the beach at.... Littlehampton! Except when we arrived there was no beach, it was high tide!
Be safe and sound,
Rob
