Day Two:

After a well needed sleep we all met for a light breakfast before we left for our group activities. Bernd, Ricarda and myself felt inspired to learn to surf with Mojo Surf school whilst the remainder of the group went out to sea with Cape Byron Kayaks.

Byron and Lennox Head beaches were packed with a combination of Sunday nippers and Sunday surfers as there was a good swell coming through. Like true surfers, we travelled south 'checking the surf' and chose the breaks at Flat Rock.


Our instructor taught the group how to 'pop up' on a board and understand the surf conditions.
After a quick warm up and tutorial we were off into the water!




The kayakers became celebrities when they made the local NBN Nightly News!!

After our activities we re-grouped back at The Byron at Byron Resort to meet with Scott for a final resort inspection. The rooms were amazing and the facilities were just as good!



We finished the inspection with a walk to the beach to say our final goodbyes and thank-you's to Scott.



The enchanting Crystal Castle was our destination for lunch. Overlooking the Byron hinterland this wonderful location provided the group with an opportunity to get in touch with their spirituality with an element of escapism. It was very relaxing to walk through the gardens and take in the surrounds.

Once we were all feeling relaxed we met Ray and boarded the bus to The Cape Byron Lighthouse.
This is known as the most easterly point in Australia. The walk was easy grade and showcased beautiful views of the pacific ocean. We were fortunate to do the walk just before sunset and the views were absolutely stunning.







Dinner was hosted by Ralph and Mark at Fishheads Byron. This was an amazing dining experience as the food was fresh and cooked perfectly. By this point in the trip most of the group were finding themselves being constantly full but managed to un-buckle their belts to make room for dessert. This restaurant is a MUST if you are ever in Byron Bay. I highly recommend the oyster's, chicken roast followed by the delicious chocolate mousse!!
