Back on Sunday we got up bright and early and all headed to Point Addis beach to learn how to surf. It was the biggest workout we've had this whole trip, and possibly ever. We got our wet suits and surf boards and after a quick lesson on land we paddled out in to the ocean. I was really surprised by how many people picked it up so quickly. That wasn't exactly the case for Kendall and I but I did ride some waves in on my knees on the board and that was pretty fun so I was satisfied with that.... honestly, I would have been just as satisfied by the fact that I even got in the ocean. After a tiring hour or so I rode a wave in and played frisbee for a while on land and then in the ocean. The water was cold but it was so nice with a wet suit on so we had to take advantage of it! After lunch we went back out on our board but I mainly tried getting some footage on the Go Pro. I'll post a video eventually I just haven't had the time or patience to edit. After the drive back to Deakin we were so tired, burnt, and hungry we went to Taste Dumpling with Inga and Zach. It was SOO good!!
Monday morning we woke up early but really easily because we were so excited to go out to breakfast with Inga and Harriet to Harriet's favorite cafe, Santucci's. It was delicious. We had lattes, poached eggs, toast, and pancakes with bananas... seriously divine. It was such a cute place too! We had class at 10am until the early afternoon. After class, we were so hot we headed with some others to a nearby pool, a really good decision. For dinner, we headed back to Taste Dumpling because we became obsessed after our dinner the day before. Worn out from the sun, Kendall called it an early night and I went down to the common area with everyone and watched the Wolf of Wall Street. Honestly, I was slightly underwhelmed by it but I also fell asleep for about twenty minutes in the middle so I think I'll need to see it again.
Tuesday we had class in the morning followed by an awkwardly long break with tutorial at 3. We used our break to do some homework and walked over to our classroom a little early. Since our prof was there he said we could discuss our final papers with him and skip tutorial - score! Since we got out early, we headed to the beach before everyone else was supposed to an had dinner and sangria at Abbey Road at St. Kilda Beach. We met up with everyone else when they got off the tram and hung out on the beach and got some gelato. After sunset we walked to the pier to see the penguins. I think we only saw one but it was cute enough. We attempted to go out and ended up back at Abbey Road with another pitcher of sangria. Kendall, Matt, and I broke from the group and grabbed a cab home- best. decision. ever.
Wednesday we headed back to Santucci's for another amazing brunch and stopped in the Bird and Nest Boutique next door. It's so cute!! The two girls working were also so awesome and we ended up hanging out there chatting with them. We hopped back on the tram and headed to St. Kilda. We laid out and swam and then grabbed lunch and gelato and experienced THE WORST cab ride ever, but I won't even get in to that. For now we are just lounging around. We've both turned in our first papers that are due tomorrow so who knows what we will do tonight!
Also, sorry for the lack of pictures today but this week we've either been in class or dripping sweat and I'm not really in to that...
Lots of love,
