So, here I am in Byron Bay. Home of people who walk around in bare feet, hippies and tree-huggers, alternative therapies and back-to-nature enthusiasts.

Staying at the Arts Factory Lodge. Strange place.

But they offer yoga everyday for $5! Yoga with "The Baron" is an interesting, mind bending experience. I also did the Welcome Walk tour and got a free bottle of wine for my troubles. And I went to the beach, slept off my overnight bus trip and tackled the waves a little.

Last night was the Arts Factory Talent Show. Very cool.

Today I bought flip-flops (called "thongs" here) and am planning on doing very little. YAY.

Tomorrow (Fri) I do a 3-hr "Learn to Surf" package.

Saturday I wake up to watch the sunrise at the most easterly point of Australia.

Then I leave Byron for Surfer's Paradise.
