Hi everyone, it's Chelsea Gorrow! Yesterday we took a ferry out past the Sydney Opera House, under the "coat hanger" bridge--one of the biggest bridges in the world--out into the bay and then to Manly Beach, one of the most breathtaking white-sandy beaches you will ever see. We ran straight for the sand, out into the sun, and realized that this was heaven on earth.
One goal I had while in Australia was to learn how to surf! Well, Sabrina Coady and I had that goal in common and decided this was the perfect opportunity to do it! So we did!
After we paid 55 dollars Australian and were fitted for a wetsuit, we joined about 12 others for a 2-hour surfing lesson. And guess what? I can surf now!
It isn’t as glamorous as Cameron Diaz or Kate Bosworth makes it look, though! I drank more salt water than I have ever drank or have cared to drink in my entire life and had what felt like the entire white-sandy beach that I was talking about up my nose. But after practice, and a few sneezes, I stood up, rode a wave, and surfed to the beach. Lather. Rinse. Repeat!
The funniest part is the tan lines! Or “burn lines” is more appropriate. We had to wear wet suits so the tops on my feet, the tops of my hands, and my face are lobster-ific! It looks like I'm wearing red gloves, socks, and a ski mask. sweet! But O-SO-WORTH-IT!!That is an experience that I am so proud to have accomplished. How many people can say they learned to surf in Australia, with a hot instructor, at Manly Beach where Paris Hilton was one week ago! I’m so thankful for that experience and I think that everyone should try it! God knows it’s a work out! My rear-end has never been so sore in all my life! :-)
