2010 A time for travel... but not time travel

So the new year has come and gone and not much has changed in Melbourne. My new years was spent at a Toga party for the bells then a day long trance party on the 1st of Jan. It was a huge event called summadayze and as you may guess from the name it attracted a few illiterates and scum-bags... of which i wasn't one... the former anyway. The parts I can remember were thoroughly enjoyable. Lots of loud music and loud clothing.

It has been easy to keep busy here with the weather being so good. Me Ashely and Richard have played tennis, been to the beach, the local pool and still play in our futsal league every Monday (we are 2nd at the moment but soon to be top!). A few weekends ago we went surfing to a beach about an hour and a half away. It was going well, quiet, big waves, sun etc. Then there was a bit of an incident when i got sucked out to sea but managed to get back with a lot of frantic swimming. Ashley on the other hand went so far out he had to come back through an area with super big waves. He was thrown about for around10 minutes but eventually managed to crawl up the beach spitting out salt water and looking relieved. We havent been surfing since.

I will hopefully be organizing my return trip home soon. I was hoping to be able to visit some of the pacific islands as a final farewell to my 14 month long holiday but I don't think my funds will last out that long. So i will have to make do with the east coast of Australia and New Zealand. Its a tough life.
