a rare rush amid a lazy lifestyle

ok so its been a bit, kind of skippin stuff in between as well. right now we're in beautiful byron bay, loving it here despite the dodgy weather, been surfing everyday for that last week and not much better to show for it. when i say dodgy weather, maybe i should say, we'ver been dodging the weather, as couple days ago there was a hailstorm here in byron, apparently it made international news, any this storm came in while we were surfing but the surf was really good that day so a bunch of us tried to get every wave in we could. there was a massive black cloud that was coming, i swear when i was paddling out i thought it was night well into dusk. anyway when it started raining we started coming in, it then turned to little hail and then golf ball hail within seconds, the few of us stranded on the beach bunkered down with our surboards for cover, looked like a scene out of a war movie. couple bruises on my arms so not bad though. apparantly the cars in town were getting hammered, a few taped up windows today and a ton of insurance claims on the way. pretty cool in hindsight to be a part of. othere than that we've been dining off really cheap meals provided by one of the local bars here, of course they're trying to get us to stay and party, works some of the time. either that or we've been bbq'n at another hostel with some friends we've made along our travels. went to church again today at the local presbyterian church, hung out with the pastors family last week and today went to the beach with a couple of them and the travelling freinds we've made. crap surf today but that's ok, in case you're wondering why i'm rushing this it's cuz i'm logging off in the next minutes as i don't want to have my time role over into the next 15 mintue block, besides its quarter after seven and i'm starving, gonna make our first meal in like a week. more to come, enjoy.
