The day after we bought the car, we checked out of the Brisbane hostel and got on the road to Yamba. We decided to take the risk of not booking a room as we wanted to surprise them. The surprise worked and everyone was ecstatic to see us. Luckily, they had room to put us up and even upgraded us to an en-suite room! Just goes to show it’s down to who you know.
It’s great being back in Yamba but also a little odd. Not a huge amount has changed, but the little things are noticeable, especially as we are now ‘out of season’. The backpackers is still fairly busy though and it’s great catching up with everyone. We’ve already been offered work by our old bosses but this time we’re here to just chill out and have fun.
