Oh dear god! I booked myself a 3hr surfing lesson this morning, and yep, it was as bad as I expected! Especially after yet another night at Cheeky Monkeys, fueled by the cheap bloody wine that was v plentiful at the bbq!
The water was ok, and the putting on of the wetsuit wasn’t horrific, so it seemed to start ok...
...then came the standing up. I cldnt even do it on land, so what hope did I have in the water?!
Basically, to cut it short, I gave up trying to stand up, and on the advice of the advice of the luverly instructors, I just stuck to knee boarding, which is basically where u kneel instead of standing up. Now THAT was fun. I cld do that! Tbh, the hardest part was walking around with the surfboard, on the beach and out to the instructors, as the damn things are so huge and the sand is sooo uneven. But hey, at least I tried 
Have just wandered up to Australia’s most easterly point to watch the sunset. Then over to the famous lighthouse. Bloody knackering!! Nice view tho. Am back on the bus tomorrow, heading up to Surfers Paradise. Where I will NOT be surfing!!
