Hello!
I just got in from a morning surf. The water was nice and warm, but a tad dirty from all the rain they have had here on the Sunshine Coast. Amy and I have been traveling with her friend Lisa, who lives here, for the last week. It has been so nice having our own personal tour guide! We departed Sydney last Sunday via night bus which wasn't too bad and saved us a night on a hostel. Byron Bay was nice, but is super trendy these days. Our first hostel made us all feel like we were in High school again, our dorm room was filled with 10 other LOUD rowdy youngins! So we moved over to another hostel, The Belongil Beach house. This was recommended to me by Jim! and might I say it was a great recommendation!
Lisa has shown us tons of small towns along the way up the coast. We stayed in Palm Beach which is in between Tweed Heads and Surfers Paradise with some other friends for a few nights, before heading to Coolum which is on the Sunshine Coast. We are currently staying with Bill and Jill. They are Lisa's boyfriends parents, and they are awesome and so welcoming! It is so nice to be in a house and have space to spread out and not worry about who might be getting into our bags, other then the dogs! We have visited some markets, gone hiking, visited more casino's and played more 'Pookies'( thats what they call slots machines here) oh and I won another $40! and been surfing! All in all its been a great vacation.
We will be here a few more days and get some more surfing in before heading up to Fraser Island, then to 1770 to see Lady Musgrave Island and do some diving and snorkling in the reefs. Our last stops will be the Whitsundays and then Cairns. Can't believe that there are only 2 weeks left! Then its off to the cooler climates of the Alps! Man will I be in shock!
Sorry for the breif update! Its quite hard to get online here and well we have been super busy trying to fits so much in, in one month! I will try to upload some pictures in the near future.
Hope everyone is well. Cyclists at home I can hardly wait to get back on my bikes! Its torture to see so many people out for road rides here! So get ready! I cant wait to see you all.... now go ride your bikes for me and I will go for a surf for you!

Sanna!
Coolum is a really nice place! I've been there! My cousin took us with his family to a nice hotel in Noosa and my Dad's family vacationed down there every summer and my dad and his siblings were lifeguards down there! Anyway -- make sure you get to see the Giant Pineapple and the giant Macadamia Nut. Also, the Australian Zoo and the Ginger Factory are nearby -- I'd definately go see them, if possible! Hope you're having a blast!
