Byron Bay

I just got back from a three day trip to Byron Bay, and it was awesome! Byron Bay is a very small surfing town right on the beach; it reminded me a lot of Key West.

We went to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, where I got to hold a baby crocodile, see koalas, pet kangaroos, and much more!

We also went on a hike to the top of the lighthouse, which is the most eastern point in Australia. It was exhausting, but absolutely beautiful and amazing. The hike was incredibly scenic both ways. At the top we even saw a pod of dolphins.

I got to try surfing for the first time, and I loved it! I put my best effort into it and I was actually able to stand up a few times. We also went kayaking, which was cool.

We got to explore the town and the shops and bars, and meet new people. We stayed in a hostel, which was a first for me; that was an experience in itself. We had a great time in a cool little town, and we are hoping to make it back another weekend.
