Katie had Monday off, yay! So we went shopping in the morning looking for bikinis, probably more of a nightmare here than at home! No busty ladies in Aus it seems! After that we went up the coast to Palm Beach. This is the beach that they film Home and Away at so we were very excited! We drove up through the very expensive suburbs of north Sydney up to Palm Beach. It was so beautiful. Amazing houses in the rainforest looking out over the beach or harbour. Very glamourous! We stopped at a beach cafe for lunch. Very posh with huge bunches of georgous flowers everywhere. We shared a pricy fish and chips which was amazing.
It started to chuck it down as soon as we got there! After lunch we ran to the car and drove to the Home and Away beach. I tried to find the same spot the Ben took his photo in from this beach, but the bin that I remember him standing next to had gone! Who would have thought that Sydney council would have updated their rubbish bins in the last 14 years! We walked up to the beach past this building and then got told that we couldn't walk that way. We were about confused but then twigged that they were filming! At the surf club! Haha! We saw them in school uniforms trying to keep out of the rain. Katie was very excited! We walked along the beach which was so beautiful even in the grey. It seemed to make the sand seen even more orange.
Home and Away surf club heehee,
We tried to find the photo spot but couldn't so just chose one.
We then filmed ourselves singing the Home and Away theme tune. So funny :) we did this about 5 times as Katie thought that she wasn't pressing the start button on the video but she was so we have 5 copies. The film crew must have thought we were mental.
Tuesday had a sunny start so I went to the beach bright and early. The surf was really good and I enjoyed watching the surfers whilst sun bathing. The weather clouded over at lunch time and then chucked it down on my way back from the beach. We were going to meet Paul and Anna in manly that afternoon but they were really late and didn't end up getting here until about 6. I'd met Katie at 4 and had already finished a bottle of wine by then. We had a good evening of wine and an amazing $5 steak.
Wednesday was grey. It was grey when I got up and grey all day except for when I walked into town to post my box of stuff home it chucked it down. Perfect timing! I met Katie for a Mexican lunch and then went home to pack as was getting the 11pm bus to Byron Bay. Katie really kindly drove me to the bus station and we stopped off on the way for a drink in a pub with the best views!
Then got on the but with Anna for the long 12 hours to Byron Bay!
