Bye bye Byron Bay

On ou last day in Byron Bay we locked our luggage in a locker somewhere in Byron Bay and had, once more, brekky by the beach. Afterwards we walked to "Australias most easterly point"...

While walking to this thought to be famous place we passed the annual "Chili Festival" and we saw the first few raindrops...but didn't matter. We went on. Of course...We then had our first break at "Wategos Beach" which was quite cool and then continued to "Julian Rocks".


After enjoying the view at the ocean we went on to see the most easterly point of the australian mainland. And then. There it was...



And right after arriving there, it started to rain...heavily. So we started walking back since there was no place to wait for the rain to stop. And the rain didn't stop. It was raining cats and dogs all the time. We walked for about 45 Minutes through the pouring rain and were completely wet when we came back to Byron Bay. Since we had to check out at the hostel earlier that day, we had no place to go and change. So we first went into a café and hat a hot chocolate. The rain then stopped for a short while but started again when we went grocery shopping. We then got our bags out of the locker and changed at an public toilet our clothes. Then we diceded to wait close to the busstop under some roofs till our bus from Premier arrives. Whil waiting we decided to have pizza, once again ;-)

BUT having pizza wasn't that easy. It was still raining cats and dogs. And when the rain stopped for a few moments Sascia went to the pizza store in order to get some while I was waiting with our belongings at the bus stop (YES, I OFFERED TO GET THE PIZZA, SHE REFUSED! REALLY! ;-) ). But then it happend...while Sascia was waiting for our food, it started to rain again. And it was not simple rain. It was pouring! Monsoonlike torrential rain came over Byron Bay. Since it did not stop after some minutes, Sascia decided to go for a run. Pizza in her hands, Water everywhere, spontanious rivers in Byron - everything the nature could offer was against her. But finally she made it. All wet, but with pizza in her hands...and it only took about 2.5 hours till she could smile again ;-) Thx Babe! You'll always be my hero :-)

The bus then arrived pretty late and we checked in and had quite a surprise when we saw our seats. They where in front of the toilets and there was less space then we were used to from Greyhound. But anyway. Of we went...back home ;-)
