Feaster

This is bit late, but oh well!

Over the Easter, the bf and I drove up to Kalbarri, where my parents have retired to. It was the first time to the Barri (as it is now known) for both of us, so we were looking forward to it. Can I just say, I fully heart Kalbarri! I had an amazing time. We explored the area a bit, I went crayfishing with my dad and his neighbour, we went to the Hutt River Province (a small area that has seceded from the rest of Australia, ate mass amounts of crayfish and just generally relaxed. It was fantastic, and it was also awesome to hang out with my parents for a bit. It was really good to see them so relaxed and happy, and stress-free as a result of retirement.

Some of the pics have my face blurred out because I am either pulling a weird face (by accident) or ... I just look silly! Haha. The boy's face is blurred as he doesn't yet know that I even have a blog, so I don't think I should be plastering his face all over the internet.

Touched down

Yesterday, me and the boy touched down in Melbourne town. I have been looking forward to this trip all year, but now that I am finally here, I have to confess that I am feeling slightly overwhelmed. We are in the city, but I am not sure where to go first, what stores to go to, what to buy and what to do. Le sigh. I am also torn between acting like a tourist ( taking lots of photos, whipping out the guidebooks and maps and being generally embarrassing) or trying to pretend like I fit in. Growing up, my family would always come to Melbourne to fist the relatives so I can kinda find my way around, but I don't think I am quite pulling it off. Oh well. We will see what happens, so stay tuned! Haha now I feel like a complete dag! But seriously, if there is anyone reading this who knows Melbourne please feel free to give some suggestions on where to go and what to do. I would more than appreciate it! :)
