sorry, been really bad on updating you again :/

actually done  little since i wrote last time..

day after surfing is was time to do surfing again but in a diffrent way... surfrafting!
up EARLY or at least it felt early :) heading down to the marina where we were told to be pick up 8am (in the morning). we saw a car with a raftboat on teh way down to the harbour and i said tio Elin, what if thats our boat, then its going teh wrong way.. Came down to the harbour no one is there.. after like 10 min waiting the car with the raftboat showed up and we were right, it was our boat..  he was told to pcik us up at teh hostel and we were told to be paick up in the harbour.. so typical.. anyway, we found it other and we weent down to the beach.. it was only me, Elin and the guide Matt.

he said that we were lycky today because after half our time it came a bus of school children and we went together with them and suddenly we had been out there for 5 hours instead of 3 like the tours was.. :)
really good fun!! you like sit in a raftboat, like teh one we had when we went white water rafting and then we paddle out to fine a "good" wave and then you tried to surf on that one in to the shore.. most of teh time it work and it goes really fast, but sometimes the waves is just to strong and the boat flips upside down.. and that kind of fun aswell!!! 

I can tell you that we had a little bit a pain in our arms after five hours of surfrafting... ;) 

The guide Matt told us that he could show us around coffs harbour that afternoon if we wanted to.. so he did...
first he took us to a waterfall that in the middle of the bush, we hade to sort of climb in there.. i hit my toe so it started bleeding, but what to do we had a lot of schratches and brushes after the surfing and the rafting anyway :) so it kind of fit in :) really beautiful place, we took a swim and then we went to the next place..
it was called the "look at me"- view point.. Here we saw our first kangeroos, wild!! and it was a lot of them!! so we sat down watching the sunset with the ocean and the kangeroos in the backround, stunning view!! (wish you were there!).
After that we went in to the rainforest and watched a really big tree and then some figtrees that you actually can climb in... cool!

When we were back in the hostel the time was 7pm and we were really tired, so after a awesome day, we ate some dinner and went straight to bed.. i think we were in bed and slept by 10 :)

So next day was time to travell again, and quite long this time.. we had a 6.5 hours busride to Newcastle and that took pretty much the whole day, with all the waiting.. We arrived to newcastle late so we went straight to bed..
sunday was spent by going to the supermarket and laying on the beach...
Newcastle itself is very boring so we thought we should do something and see a little of the surrondings. We booked a safari tour for monday.
So monday morning pick up 9am.. we went first on a dolphin cruise and we saw some dolphins.. we also got to sit in a net beside the boat while we was crusing. little bit cool!
then we went sandboarding.. we went on a 4WD bus just staraight out in the sand to a big sandbank, where they had sandboard and then we climbed up and went down on teh board.. kind of heavy for you legs to go uphill, and very sandy to get down.. it was fun but it was like going in the snow on a slide :)
Last stop for the day was shark and ray feeding place.. it was like 10 different tanks and you got some shrimps and squids to feed them with.. okey, but not very exciting..
we had a good day, but not worth the money... anyway, we got to se a little of the surrondings :)

Today its was our last bustrip here in OZ and it took us to Sydney.. when we got in to town, it was alittle bit wired to think that its 2 month since we were here last time! this time are we staying out at bondi beach.. today its raining unfortunatly but they told us it will be good soon again.. hope to see Mark and Arlene (the irish couple we travelled with before) again, they are soemwhere in town..

we wait and see how the weatehr will be before we decided what to do tha last days here in OZ..

tonight there is free dinner for us backpackers staying in YHA.. so i think we will go for that, we just had to buy a drink and we would get a free dinner.. se how it is, anyway it just nice to not cook ourselfs.. tired of that now :)

talk soon!

take care!

kisses!
