Coolangatta!

hey! so after our fun filled two weeks on the ranch we have moved on and are now in coolangatta! it only took a two hour bus ride, 6 hours train ride, 5 hours waiting, 8 hour train ride and then a 2 hour bus ride to get here but we made it!

and it is beautiful! the place we are staying at now we totally lucked into! its not a hostel but a holiday unit! Catie asked the guy about staying and he originally said it wasn't possible and out of our price range then pointed us in another direction, just as we were about to leave he ran down to us and said that there was a room open and if we each paid 26 dollars a night we could have it! deall!!!! it comes with a kitchen bathroom tv room bedroom view of the beach which is right across the street and a pool in the back yard. we would have paid the same for a hostel except you share teh bathroom and kitchen and bedroom and tv room and it wouldn't have had a beach view! talk about lucky!

this is now our third day here and as of right now it is raining!!

as of yesterday we offically tried surfing! yes i said tried... as in they make it look alot easier then it actually is!! we rented the boards and the wet suites and looked all offical! you would think just by looking at us that we know what we are doing but you would be very deceived! we tried for hours chasing the waves, i (becky) almost got up once... well i got to my knees and road a wave for about 2 seconds before going under agian! cate did great too... she managed to get hit with the surf board in the head lol (caties mom don't worry she is all good... tho she is slurring her words now... did she do that before? jk jk jk) after we were good and tired we retired to our hotel to grab some dinner then we went out again and just swam with the waves and made fun sand castles! over all a great time!!

we are having a blast here and just relaxing it has been great!!!
