Apollo Bay

This weekend I didn't get to make meat loaf but that's okay because it's happening tonight.

I need to do my laundry in a bad way.

This weekend I went with some friends from Res up to one of their family's holiday houses in Apollo Bay which is along the Great Ocean Road. We took the bus to Geelong and then to Apollo Bay which was about a four hour commute total. The house was pretty amazing--probably the nicest house I've been in since I've been here. It was nice and roomy and my only complaint was that the stove was a little small.

When we got there, the four of us walked down the street to the shops and things and got fish and chips and went and ate them on the beach. Then we walked around a bit more and enjoyed some of the sights and sounds of the music festival that was going on over the weekend. We then got some things from the grocery store and went and had a quiet night at home.

The next day we all got up late and had a very leisurely day. In the afternoon we walked down to the beach for a while and then to the pier where I saw the biggest stingray I've ever seen. It as at least five feet across! We sat and hung out on the pier for a while and then went and got groceries for dinner. I made bacon and mushroom risotto but the best part about it was the stock! You know how you can buy chicken or beef bullion cubes or powder to make your stock? They had bacon stock. BACON STOCK. It was absolutely delicious! In our free time, which was a lot, we watched a lot of Desperate Housewives. Not my choice, but I was overruled and the guest so it was alright.

Also. Is there Watermelon Gatorade in the US??? I had some in Apollo Bay and it was the greatest thing! Someone find some for me in the US! Or better yet, find some for yourself.

Day three we got up, had some coffee, got some hot dogs, watched some Desperate Housewives, cleaned the house and headed back to Uni. I had a great weekend. It was really relaxing and the scenery was gorgeous. Driving the Great Ocean Road was really great too. I'm glad I can cross that one off my list.

Balcony view. Ocean out there. 

 I appreciate a family with a good mustard selection 

 Whiskey Mustard. Yes. It was great.

 Boats and stuff 

 This stuff. Primo. 

My phone credit expires tomorrow so I've burned through it by texting and calling some friends and family back home. It absolutely makes my day to hear from the people I love. Thanks guys. 

I missed another night of premium hip hop last night at The Paper Street Soap Company. Bummed. But I'll be home soon. 

Get some
