Mood: Sleepy and happy
Music: Bon Iver - For Emma forever ago...
I've not slept too well over the last couple of nights but I can never sleep for very long during the middle of the day in the UK and I've a feeling that's what my body thinks that I'm trying to do.
Today I woke a few times but go out of bed just after 7am to put my stuff together and go for my surfing lesson. There were 9 of us in the group, 2 from Sweden, a german girl and 6 Brits. I know it's a bit cliche going surfing on Bondi beach but hell, when in Rome...
The lesson itself went ok, I could have been betterm could have been lots worse. As a beginner surfer you spend most of your time struggling against the flow of water trying to push yourself out to catch the next wave. I did manage to get myself stood a few times for a number of seconds. This in itself might not sound like much to most people but I was rather chuffed with myself for getting that far. I had a stupidly big grin on my face the whole time and that was the main thing.
Once the lesson finished I booked myself another two, one for this evening and then again early tomorrow morning. I then set out back to the hostel, grabbed my camera bag and went for a stroll around the beach. I took some photos of some surfers, but it was most a group of beginners and as such there is nothing too exciting. I then went and sat in the sun up above the rocks at the end of the beach. Here I watched the waves crash on the rock throwing up clouds of spray 20m or higher into the air.
No matter how much suncream I applied it didn't seem to be enough and as such I'm a little pink all over. Other than that I'm in good health and spirits, looking forward to this evening's lesson!
I'll let you know how that goes tomorrow. I plan to go into the city tomorrow and strol around with my camera and see what I can see.
Until again.
