Yeah I have a lot of pictures on facebook your welcome to use! the arrival was really easy We booked to stay in wake up so the bus station was just around the corner, and igot on with surfing well but its one of those things you need to stick out! if i would have left after the first month my opinion of surfing would be completely different as it takes a longer than i expected to improve and the longer you stay you learn about the water and waves rather than just standing up! Staying such a long time also meant i could become really good friends with everyone living and working at the camp which was one of my favourite parts! and to answer the family question because everyone looks after each other and everyone so close I didnt get home sick at all and hated leaving the camp when i eventually had to go to meet other friends out in Australia.

the surf instructors were all lovely there were a few that were more boring than others but most of them were awesome and got on so well that we are meeting a few of them in Indonesia for another surfing adventure soon! As soon as the certificates come through I hope to use them on the rest of my travels to make doing the  qualification worth it
