Carro & Tom Down Under

Roadtrip sydney-brisbane

Since monday we have been driving up the east coast of aussie. On the first day we drove nonstop pretty much the whole day, and slept in coffs harbour. Then we ventured on to Yamba and Byron bay. Both places were mega chill surfing towns. Everyone was abit "hippie" but very friendly. Saw some pretty sweet waves and scenery.

After that our next stop was surfers paradise, a cool city on the gold coast. As soon as we drove into the city me and tom both commented on the fact that it looked like Florida, and we werent wrong, we realised after staying there that it was basically a copy of it. Similarities were sea world, theme parks, shopping centers and the city being so close to the beach. I wouldnt say its a bad thing though. I just think that byron bay and surfers paradise would probably suit eachothers names better. The first day wasnt very good, the weather was rainy, we got a parking tickets and everything was just generally going wrong. But the second day we spent there was much better. We met frida and erik, who we know from sweden. We hung out with them, tom and erik went surfing, we went to the cinema. (I am number four: Bloody good film!) and then slept in their apartment. The day after we also got to taste some very yummy gelato ice cream at fridas job. It was great!

Now we have arrived in Brisbane and the hostel is top notch ;) At the moment we are sitting by the pool and gazing over the skyline of brisbane. Not bad eh? We are also awaiting our irish friends who are on their way :) I have a feeling that tonight will be a good night :)

Enjoy the pics
