Surfers Revisited!

Went south to Brisbane again and spent a day in the library trying to do some research on places I wanna go to after Oz. There was something dodgey going on with the car and I was getting worried that it was on its way out so I took it to the Greek guy who helped me out before. Luckily it was just the ignition leads, so I bought a new set and fitted them myself, another lucky escape!

I continued south to Surfers Paradice. As I wrote last time I visited, its not the most beautiful of places, but its definitely a fun place to be! So I've decided to stick around for a while cos I think I should finally be able to get some work.....although I've just been partying it up so far and haven't even looked for a job, doh! I arrived 3 days ago and so far I've been on a crazy pub crawl, done more drinking, and been to the casino (where I won $100 playing craps, I think I'll work as a professional gambler!).

The surf here isn't bad but I had a scary moment the last time I went. I was sitting out the back waiting for a wave when I saw a dark shape in the water and a fin break the surface of the water. While paddling as fast as I've ever paddled, I looked back to see three more fins and realised that they were dolphins. They also like to surf, gliding down the waves and doing a little jump at the end! They were only about 5 meters away from me, it was so cool to see them that close!

Anyway, I'll write properly soon, just letting you all know that I'm still alive!
