Anna Learns to Surf
Before I went to Australia, I did a beginner’s surfing course in Portugal. I travelled there from my home in Spain and hoped to learn lots. I wanted to be a good surfer by the time I got to Australia, where they are very advanced. But, I was no better at the end of the course! I was part of a group of four people and we spent five hours on both days practising on the beach, not in the water!
So, when I travelled to Australia I booked a course at Waves Surf School. The surfing teacher’s instructions were easy to follow and, after just three days, everyone in my group could stand on their boards and surf all the way to the beach. It was amazing! After a hard day, I returned to a lovely apartment and looked out at the sea. I then relaxed for a bit before going out for dinner.
The staff at the surf school were great. They told me about the best tourist places to visit and even drove me home to my apartment when I went clothes shopping and had too many bags to carry. While I was at the school, I learned more about Australia and its people than I did when I visited cities like Brisbane. I had a great time and it was really difficult to say goodbye when I had to fly home.
