I was more than excited to meet Will from the airport, even if i was late, sorry! The bus was ridiculously slow and I had a lecture before which I could have ditched but check me out, not one missed yet!! So it was legitimate lateness.
We got back to the house and headed to the wonder that is Big W (like a big department store which is actually pretty cheap and a nice distance from the house, no Will it is not miles!) to get essentials such as cotton wool, chocolate and shower gel, what more do you need?? ha ha.
Decided to have a realtively quiet one and headed to our local - The Goody, for a few bevvies and some food. Will went a little mad and decided to buy us all JagerBombs, not as quiet as we once thought and we were all very nice to Simon, who has become a resident derro sponger (you know we love you really) and bought him some beers ($8 dollar beers i might add!!) and it turned into a classic accidental messy night. perfect welcome to Australia.
Next day was a perfect beach exploring day at Glenelg, although it got a bit chilly so we HAD to take refuge in a wicked cocktail bar on the mariner (dad you would have loved it!! so many yachts and posh boats) We also looked in lots of sweet shops to find sweeties for Wills mates and there's a sweet shop in Glenelg that has walkers crisps and drinks you can only get in the UK, which is good to know if i get any crazy cravings.
Had quite a quiet night of movies and chill because I had a full day of uni on thursday. (well i say full, it's 11am - 5pm then volleyball but still!!
So i was a bad friend for the day and will had to fend for himself. Had lots to plan with my video production groups but was all good after a few dramas with certain permits we didn't know we had to have! That day was also Nan and Grandads wedding anniversary so I did my wonderful grandaughter moment and called them. : )
Volleyball was good as always even though we lost William! Apparently he was off playing footy with some ozzie guys (and he tells me he doesn't like meeting new people!) we headed to the Rob Roy hotel (official sponsor of the AU volleyball team) for 10 dollar schnizel and cheap beers. Then we ended up heading out! I love random nights which aren't planned, even better that will was there and Am came to volleyball too!! : )
There was a free juke box and we even tried to head to a 'club' in norwood but i was fairly denied entry for wearing thongs (thats flip flops to you lot) and then RUDELY slagged off for my attire in which the woman looked me up and down with disgust and said "and people usually dress up a bit for this place". DOOR BITCH!! excuse my french.
Friday brought a new beach! Very exciting for us as it even turned out to be heaps better than Glenelg. And guess what is was called?? Brighton Beach!! It was beautiful and so quiet. Jen got so burnt though, and she's the australian! aren't they supposed to know about the dangers of sun in this climate, and next time Jen please put on more than moisturiser! We want to look after your skin! Quite a few people actually rocked up throughout the day and then Am, Will and I got a fish and chip dinner and watched the sunset while eating on the beach, perfect. Unfortunately due to it being good friday the public transport system goes slightly mental but it doesn't seem to be written anywhere! So we got stuck for quite some time waiting for a bus which was never going to come until eventually we spoke to some passers by who took us to the nearest train station.
And after all this, we even has eneergy to watch a movie at Am's place and i recommend everyone watched "In to the Wild" as it's outstanding!
