Sunday (November 11), we went to Eastgate Church with Alex and her family, then after service we enjoyed a kebab together before they dropped us off back at the hostel in Byron Bay. After 2 weeks of not be able to I was determined to get into the water. So that week we hung out at the beach a couple of days and I was able to attempt to surf. I got up but it was only on the white wash which is a great beginning. On Saturday (November 17) Hilary, Christa and I went for a hike up to the world famous Cape Byron Lighthouse. It was such a beautiful day and the sights along the way were so amazing. The 2.5 km hiking trail led us along the ocean and brought us to some beautiful secluded beaches. The view from the light house was absolutely stunning and we could see whales, sting rays, turtles and dolphins playing in the surf. One of the lookout points from the light house is the most eastern point in the southern hemisphere and the first place to see the sunrise. On the last day that we were there, Tuesday October 30th Christa and I woke up at 4 am to go to the light house for sunrise. It was so dark that you could feel it almost like a blanket. As we left the hostel we noticed the sun was already starting to slowly light up the sky so we grabbed a taxi so we didn’t miss it, Christa had this excitement as we got closer to the lighthouse. It was the most breathtaking sunrise we had ever seen. The clouds glowed as red as fire just before the sun burst forth. As the sun appeared its rays shot up in the sky in a glorious way. What a sight it was and how much we continue to enjoy the beauty that surrounds us, if creations is this breathtaking how much more our creator!
