November 25, 2002 Byron Bay, Australia
According to the Master Plan, today would be my last day here, so I went through the chore of booking my bus and making reservations at the next hostel. Then I got off my lazy ass and took one of the hostel's free bikes out. There's not much to see, besides traffic, but it was something to do. And there was too much wind to lay on the beach.
That night I was checking email, and who should walk in to the cafe and sit next to me but Ines and Kathelyn, the Dutch Duo from New Zealand. We went out for drinks to catch up. Unfortunately the pub closed at midnight, and I couldn't talk them in to staying out. They're staying at the same hostel I am at, and want me to stay an extra day.
Strange. There's an Australian Dell Guy. Instead of saying "Dude, you need a Dell," he says "Mate, you need a Dell."
