Byron Bay
June 2, 2008 - Byron Bay, Australia
We arrived at Byron on a pretty miserable day, the weather in Sydney seemed to have followed us north. We had contemplated just moving straight on as there was not much for us to do if the sun was not going to shine. However, we thought we could surf even if it was raining so booked a lesson for the next morning. We were picked up by the...
