new years eve in byron

After being settled here in Byron we have nothing to worry about at the moment and had a relaxed day at the beach. In the evening we of course went to the big new years eve party byron bay. In Byron you usually are not allowed to consume alcohol on the streets and the police is taking care of this quite good. Originally we thought we have to face it and pay admission somewhere to get drinks in a pub. We wanted to try to get away without this nevertheless and filled up waterbottles with white wine - this does not attract attention at all;-) And indeed nobody was paying attention to this and we could enjoy the party on the street. Later we even met up with the other people we arranged to meet in Byron: Jennie and her sisters and additionally Lena, Phil and Björn - all former inhabitants of Codge Lodge. Short before midnight all of us went to the beach and watched the big fireworks (not really huge, but quite alright for Byron). This was New Years at the beach. In contrast to Christmas a really nice experience. Just after midnight several people went into the surf of Byron.
Then after everybody calmed down again a little bit and the city was falling asleep we went back to the stage at the beach. There a nice Jamiroquai-style-band played later - partyyyy.
