Holiday in Byron Bay
July 23, 2008 2:17 pm Dicker, General, TravelsFi and i are just spending the week up in Byron on a “Babymoon”…
“Babymoon?” you say…
Yes, well apparently that’s what you call a pre-baby holiday… It doesn’t really roll off the tongue, and it sounds a bit dicky, but… it’s a holiday… and our last one ever without kids.
So we’re up here in sunny and warm Byron Bay for a week. So far so good. Even though I’ve travelled through Byron quite a few times, I’ve never actually stayed here, and it’s quite a nice place… Kinda expensive, but we got our accommodation cheap.
Our plan for this week is to:
- eat
- sleep
- watch Le Tour
- go to the “lounge cinema” ($7.50 tickets to watch new releases at the cinema on a lounge!!! woohoo!)
- more eating
- more sleeping
- And more of Le Tour…
I’d like to be reading a novel up here as well, but since finishing Dracula I haven’t thought of another good book to read… I feel alot of pressure when it comes to choosing a good holiday book because you really want something that’s good - to really draw you in… know what I mean? Maybe I should’ve brought up another Victor Kelleher book…

I think you’ve missed the point of a holiday book - they don’t have to be good, or even ‘passable’… in fact it’s often better if they’re terrible, so that you can laugh at them and read portions of the bad dialogue out to the other people you’re holidaying with, and daydream about how you’d make such a better writer etc.
Go to the op-shop, buy trash. Holiday reading is like television, just there to occupy your eyes (not the brain) before you go to sleep again.

You’re right Pete… I should have asked you about holiday reading before I went…
