Melbourne Road Trip!

Monday, August 29, 2011

Yep! You heard right! 
This weekend past, i went on a road trip with Bekah, Millie and Jessii to go visit a Adelaide escapee, Hannah. Friday morning at 6.30am we set off, with Maccas brekkie on the road, copious amounts of sleeping, pit stops to play on a seriously cool playground (it had a ROLLERCOASTER!) and to get our junk food fix.
I had to get my drugs fix too cause spent the whole weekend in a mad spout of hayfever/cold/flu thing. So annoying! lol



Just a Rollercoaster? Heck no! Surfing!

About to go for a ride!

Freaking out at every Melbourne sign thinking we were close, though eight hours later we were still on the road ;)
So we finally made it to Hannahs house after much detouring and sudden scenic tours. Freshened up to go out to dinner-epic burgers!-and to meet some of her YSA friends. Which was AWESOME. Best bunch of people ever! So i was totally under the impression from stories people passed around and from my own TFY Melbourne experience that Melbourne was - to be blunt- seed central! But Im so terribly glad that i was proved to be seriosuly wrong, its quite great! Reminded me muchly of home (Tassie) <3.
Butterscoth Malt goodness!

Dinner at delicious Burger restaurant!
So because we were quite hyper after dinner, we ended up dancing out front of Jordan's house before joining the YSA population and meeting people.

Milli Rocking out
(so this video you cant really see anything and is not really worth watching, but if you do the rando white blurs that appear are dancing adelaide girls! lol)

So spent a simply gorgeous evening with Melbourne YSA, such a friendly bunch, like it was so comfortable so there was seriously no chance at all to crack the shys, which i was grateful for! lol We played this game called 'Signs' which is SO addictive but just as fun as it is addictive! I learnt that they are quite the talented bunch! Fluent french speakers, mean as guitarists and pianists not to mention amazing singing voices. What a gorgeous night, it still sets me smiling! Unfortunately, i did not film any of this though i sincerely wish i did! Good memories!
Anyhow, got home late and as a result slept till 11am on the saturday, got up, french toast for brekkie made by the beautiful and talented Hannah of whom had to go to work sadly! So the rest of us literally spent the whole of saturday afternoon taking photos:













That night we went out for a combined birthday dinner with some old friends of Bekah's and the Bloys: We went to T.G.I. Friday! DELICIOUS TO SAY THE LEAST. I espesh loved how for one of the meals they brought out this mass tower with the chicken still sizzling on it!

After, we went for hang outs at Mitchs house (mitch is in the previous piccy far right), which was totally awesome! Played fun games, but of course, we were again simply spoilt by all the lovely musical talent on display! I was wonderstruck majority of the evening! lol I suspect the poor fellows mustve gotten mildly creeped out by my dreamy expression as they played near the end! Hilarious, but oh so good!

(if you watch this one, please excuse my hideous laughter and random inputs throughout, and you have to turn the sound RIGHT up!!)



Sunday morning, we headed off to church absolutely exhausted, but excited (well i was= Love love love ward hopping) at the same time. I think the ward was called Mornington ward and it was oh so good! Adored the talks, adored the YSA discussion in sunday school. The afternoon was spent napping, cleaning, for me:journal writing and then inviting two seriously cool kids over that we had met, Jordan and Jess. Those boys are so fun! We had icecream, oreo face races and played 'Ive never' and just laughed the afternoon away!(corny as that sounds lol) LOVE IT!!

We then packed, left Hannahs place (did i mention its this gorgeous decrepit old surfy house like 500m from the beach?), headed to Mitchs for tea, then a very uplifting fireside on 'Choosing the Right'. Some very talented and guided speakers :). My arm is like stained from all the notes i wrote on there throughout, so much goodness! Social butterflying, goodbyes, piccys infront of the Melbourne Temple and atlast home time! Longest drive home ever, but Oh what a Weekend! This post, though huge, is only a taste of the grand adventure! Thank you Radelaide girls and Melbourne! :D 

Still to come: Roadtrip Melbourne Vlog! :D

On a Side Note: I still Vlog! Mak and I go to the beach :D

But you will be glad to know know, the fluff is of the warm fuzzies kind.

Alive and Kicking!

Thats right! Im alve and KICKING. Ive taken up Karate! Im writing to also inform you that one day i had to use my karate skills to rescue a damsel in distress as a typical adelaide ruffian tried to do away with her handbag!

Okay! Okay!
I didnt really do that. And i didnt really take up karate.
I just thought it'd be much more interesting then me telling you all that Im still alive after long blogging silence.

Ive got alot of news.
Which i will share with you sometime, i promise.

But mostly: I study. I play outside. I read actual books with pages in them.

The internet here is ALWAYS tripping out and turning off. It drives me to the point of having to take the advice on my mug of hot-caramel goodness. So I am trying to break up with the internet, as much as a Uni student can.....which is SO hard! 
Also, im re-vamping the blog :)
Here is todays study incentive.
