What am I doing?

So, where did we last finish? When I was back In Coffs Harbour,

since then I arrived at the surf camp and have been here for almost 2

weeks now. I live on a beach called Arrawarra,

also known as paradise, it has white soft sand, perfect spilling

waves, and constant Australian sunshine.

What am I doing here?

I work whilst learning to surf, I'm a Cadet. My job

here is to work in Linen, I change beds, I clean rooms, all

that exciting stuff, my mum is most pleased

I have this position as I'm someone who doesn't

EVER change or make their bed at home.

I love working here, because of the people but also

the fact that we have speakers in linen so I spend my whole

time singing and dancing around whilst washing and changing beds.

Every morning I wake up at 5:30am

(I know that sounds super early but I never fully got over

jet lag so my body naturally always gets up around that time anyway

so It's not as bad as it sounds), I walk to breakfast, I surf for two hours,

I then have my second breakfast of the day and then the work begins.

I'm supposed to work till 3 each day, however more often than not

we finish between 12-2. I spend the rest of my time,

surfing, sunbathing, mooching around, just living the hard life really.

Occasionally in the afternoons we either do fitness or yoga,

the yoga I can do, the fitness not so much. We do circuits

on the beach for 1 hour, in 35 degree heat, by the end I honestly

feel like i'm ready to collapse, it's the type of thing my Auntie

Judith would enjoy, I only really turn up because the guy

who takes the session walks around tanned, topless and has a 6 pack.

I live on the 'hippie bus' (that makes me sound like a gypsy) it has beds

down either sides and shelves above and below the bed, I actually

really love living here, the only trouble is the walk from

my bus to the bathroom. If I need a wee at 3am, I do that

thing where I wait as long as possible until I burst

and then I have to trek it all the way to the bathroom

which feels about a mile away (it's not

but it feels that far at 3am).

So far I'm loving every second here, I'm in paradise,

I surf whenever I want, I've met the most amazing people and

every morning when I go to the toilet I can hear the waves crashing

in the sea, there is literally nothing I want more in life.

I stay here in total for 2 months and then I travel

up towards surfers paradise to see Rob and Sue.

I can't really think of anything else to tell you,

so I'm probably going to leave it here for now,

I hope everyone is well at home,

lots of love
