Day 6: Surfin' Surfin' in Oz

huuuum a good night of sleep, just in front of our surf spot. But now we know the best way to be woken up is by a ranger. Yes another fine for us! Again we weren't allowed to camp at this spot as it's part of a national park. And, as he told us, camping in national parks is strictly prohibited. He was still nice enough to give us only a $50 instead of the usual $500 fine...phew!

But those 50 bucks didn't change our plan to go surfing again! And that's what we did for the morning. But unfortunately it was a Saturday; the beach was crowded, there was a surf school, and too many people in general!

After some good waves and a few hours later we drove back to Margaret river for lunch. We needed a break, relax for a little while and wait until it wasn't as hot anymore before we could go back to the beach (these days are commonly the hottest in the year at the west coast).
Once there again, I (Bast) was the only to go surfing. Well, I shouldn't have done that. A few bruises later, while trying to dodge a body boarder I got hit by my own board right in the face. As a result I lost my beloved lip-piercing and now have a lip which has a deep cut and on top of that it's swollen...

I was done for the day.

We decided to look for a new place to sleep, but this time we chose the safest way and stayed at a camping park (12$ each for a spot for the night ...).
