Christmas & NYE in Byron Bay

Hey there folks, now I’ll tell about my 10 day adventure in Byron Bay :P . Well, as I told in my last post I went all the way up to Brisbane by train, to meet my friend so we could go down to Byron Bay together. When we arrived at Byron Bay it was raining, but to judge from the look of most the people they really didn’t care, they were just having fun :D . Byron Bay I a really nice and cosy surfer/backpacker village, and you really feel a nice vibe when entering this little paradise. After we got settled down in our hostel we went to do some food shopping. The next days it rained a lot (not a single day with sun), we were therefore forced to stay in our hostel and just chill out all day.

People from Byron doesn't care if it rains, it's a beach village and always will be!

Christmas day was a very relaxed day for us, because we basicly didn’t do nothing the whole day apart from eating and prepare food; during the night we went nightclubbing in a local nightclub called Cheeky Monkeys. All the next days it was just raining all the time, so we just chilled out in the hostel all day (apart from 1 day when we went to the beach for a swim in the rain), it was only during the night that we became alive; we were clubbing and partying all night long in our favorite nightclub (Cheeky Monkeys) and at our favorite pub (Beach Hotel) with it’s extraordinary live bands :P :P .

The day before NYE we went to the lighthouse in Byron Bay (to be exact Cape Byron), it was a really nice walk, although it wasn’t sunny. What I didn’t know was that the route up to the lighthouse passed by the most eastern point of the Australian mainland, so that was very cool :D (I can always brag about that one when I feel like it :P ).

When I woke up on the 31th I was feeling ill, and it just got worse and worse during the day. My friend and me decided to have NYE on the beach because all the nightclubs and pubs were taking huge entry fees, (we’re talking around 120$)! So we’d rather spend a good night on the beach than in some crowed club. We therefore went for a pizza and some beers on the beach that evening, it was so nice, even my illness disappeared after having the third beer, so that was great :) . We spend around 2 hours walking and chatting to friendly Aussie guys and backpackers girls. One hour till midnight we gathered around a fire that some locals made, as the fire got bigger the crowd increased too; minutes to midnight we were around 80-100 people around the fire :P . When we entered 2011 the crowd just exploded, people were dancing and singing everywhere, it was so great. Anyway, the fireworks was a big disappointment, because the police didn’t aloud fireworks to be lighten on and around the beach area, so we only got to see 2 batteries illegally light on the beach and 1 rocket far away. Our plans was to go home around morning, but my sickness was beginning to chick in around 2 o’clock so I decided to go home and leave my friend with the party. When I got home I found a guy sleeping on the table in our balcony; I decided to just let him sleep there and go straight to bed. Later that night I woke up while a very drunk guy was trying to get to his bed, while he was trying to do so I heard a big bang from the balcony, we booth went out to see what was happened, and what we saw was the guy lying on the floor with beer bottles spread all over the place and the table upside down in the other end xD; it really looked kind of funny xD :lol: . We spend the last day resting and chilling out at our hostel. We left our hostel early the next morning to go back to Brisbane, but before arriving to Brisbane we made a 2 hour stop at the Gold Coast; anyway I won’t tell about that one now, you’ll just have to wait till my next post xD.

Until then, see ya ;)

p.s. I’m sorry that there’s no pictures from all the clubbing we did, but I really didn’t felt like taking my expensive beast of video camera clubbing.

Happy New Year & Happy Birthday

Happy New Year to all of you, I really hope you had a blast :P .

I celebrated New Year ’s Eve on the beach here in Byron Bay, it really was a new experience for me having New Year’s Eve on a beach. I was just dancing with the girls in front of a big fire made on the beach most of the night, so that was great :P . I’ll give you the full details on my entire Byron Bay tip once I return, so stay tuned :P .

Now you may be wondering why there is written “Happy Birthday” in the post title J. Well today it is exact 1 year ago that I launched WoM, and what a year :D !
It has been a year full of page improvements (I’m just thinking about the first WoM layout right now :D ), full of entertainment (like the crazy car experiments), and full of other crazy/random stuff. I’m myself very satisfied about the effort and time that I have but into WoM, and I really hope you are too :D .
So what will happen in the next year? Well, next year will be filled with all my Down Under adventures, and I’m really sure that it would be a hell lot of fun. The only bad thing about this next year on WoM, will be that I can’t upload videos from my SD60, this is due to that I haven’t got the Panasonic programme that converts the video files in a normal YouTube file, so I’m very sorry for that, but remember, once I return I’ll convert all the footage I have been making on my long trip, and it’s gonna be a lot, I’ll assure you that one!. Until then you can watch my pictures I’m uploading on my Facebook account once in a while (remember that I always post a link to them under the related posts).
I’ll do my best to keep you as updated as possible while on my trip, and remember that you can always ask if you want some more info on something :) .

I hope all the best for you in the new year, mine will sure be full of new experiences :D .

Happy New Year!
