NIMBIN and FRIENDS FROM ENGLAND

The next day the rain was torrential so we hired a car with our friends and drove to a place called Nimbin.It is a hippy town where the locals are trying to get cannabis use legalise. They openly deal on the streets and in the shops. The police are trying to crack down on their activities, but to no avail.

It is in the tourist book as a must see place. We thought it was very strange but well worth a visit. They kept trying to sell us "Cookies" as we walked along looking at the shops. We just kept giggling with nerves. There were a lot of sad looking aged hippies hanging around looking quite intimidating.

We only stayed there about an hour then headed off into the countryside exploring in the car. We ended up at some waterfalls.



Poor Sammie came here to Byron Bay to get some sun before she headed off home.


But they have had so much rain here that it is flooding in parts.
But we did manage to get in a few hours of sunbathing before the heavy rain reappeared.

I was in the kitchen of the YHA when I just could not believe my eyes, there standing at the other side of the kitchen was a very familiar face....Gemma Sterba from Radio Kent !!!!!!!
we just stared at each other for ages unable to believe that we had just bumped into each other like this at the opposite side of the world. It was great to see her. She is doing a three month tour in Thailand , Australia , New Zealand and China. We spent ages catching up on the gossip.
