Day 11: I got Shore Dumped

We rode the bus back to Coogee beach, and spent the day on the sand and in the water. I hopped into the water to do some bodysurfing, but the waves were pretty intense and I caught big one...or it caught me. I'm not sure how it exactly it happened, I was basically folded in half, slammed on my head, heard a few things crack, and stood up with a head packed with sand. I later learned the term for this is "shore dumped." I was just thankful I was able to stand up, after I heard my back and neck crack the way it did! I spent the rest of the time, safe, on my towel.

At night, Jesse and Michelle took us out on the town. We at dinner in Surry Hills, on the "trendy" Crown Street. Then, we went to a piano bar in King's Cross. King's Cross was full of bars and dressed up Australians. Somehow we managed to get home at 4am!
