Day 3
Craziness. I have started losing track of time. Since this is my first free weekend before I start training and work I decided might as well start the adventure. So seeing as this is my 3rd day I feel amazing. I absolutely love it here. The people are so friendly. It's beautiful. This may be paradise.
As for living in hostles, the first two I have been to are great. Not scary like the movie at all. Most of the people in my room are from VisitOz. I have become close to Megan (she's from Scotland) and Flavie (she's from France). We feel lucky to have found each other and we go on outings together. We signed up for feeding wild dolphins together. Afterwards we took our first surf lessons.
Feeding the wild dolphins was great. They were humpback dolphins. They stay in estuaries and bays. I got to feed them twice. I fed Mystique and Harmony (both boys..). Mystique is the older one and the leader of the pack. He got attacked by a shark, so his dorsal is all mangled. It was really neat to feed them. They were sweet and gentle creatures. My mom is right, they are like little Buddhas of the water.
Surfing. Holy cow! Surfing is AMAZING!!! (by the way, as I am typing this I can hear a guy performing on the didgeridoo) I absolutely loved surfing. I even stood up a few times. It was possibly the dream surfing lesson ever. The only thing that could have made it better was to get a private lesson... maybe I should look into that. Our instructor was a young guy named Byron. Just think, tan, blondish hair, I think he had blue eyes.. Accent. Very dreamy. Haha. He was really patient. There was 11 of us learning how to surf. I think I will try surfing more and more. Maybe a couple more lessons, just in case. The feel of the water is breath taking. It's better than snowboarding (in my opinion) cause when you fall it's just water.
So now I am leaving to go join the others drinking and listening to the didgeridoo. It's great so far. I can't wait to tell you about tomorrow!
