Last days in Byron bay

8 september 2009 - Surfers Paradise, Australië

Go mountain biking in Byron. It's in a national park not too far from Byron. It's way more extreme than I expected! The first part of uphill; some guy pukes in the forrest and quits. But  anyway you'd go downhill at crazy speeds over small little forrest trails. There's branches and sticks everywhere! At first I'm a little slow going down hill, but I get  used to it. Up hill I kick everyone's ass though :P Guess the cycling back home paid off. We end up at some beautiful cliff with a waterfall off of it, you can see for miles, looking out over the rainforrest. Really enjoyed this.

Meet an English brother and sister. I play ping pong with the sister. She's really good (been playing for 8 years or so), so she kicks my ass, but still good level of play. I beat all the other dudes there though. I forgot what a kick ass sport it is. I go out with them two. I actually got reasonably drunk for once (been going out every night and didn't drink yet). Me and the brother coin our two new expressions "weak willed douche bag" (of whom Prince Charles is the main proponent according to him :P) and "like a fork in the ground". They leave the next day though :(

The English guys go totally nuts in the hostel btw. I saw one yesterday take his dick out and put it in one of the pool tables pocket holes too be funny.

Move to a 10 dorm room. There's a really nice Irish girl named Caroline in it, it's comforting to talk to her, plus she fun.

Buy Bertand Russel's book on the history of western philosophy. Good read so far. I figured I didn't wanna turn to Eastern philosophy completely just yet.
