Beach on a Winter's Day

While finals are still going on, me and my friends have taken it upon ourselves to make sure we have special and fun things planned almost daily, to make the hours of studying seem less daunting. Yesterday, we all woke up bright and early (9am!) and headed to St. Kilda.

Human Pyramid

I looked up the weather before I left and it was a measly 6C (43F), but luckily the sun was out. In Australia, when the sun is out, it seems like all problems disappear. The sun is always warm, and this is particularly wonderful on a chilly Friday morning. I wore my sweatshirt, peacoat and boots and was all ready to go walk along the beach. When we got to St. Kilda, we all took off our layers and walked around sleeveless. I guess it had warmed up, and with the breeze minimal off of the bay it was perfect.

Laying in the sand

Charlotte, Laura, Katie, Hamish and I took lots of posed picture and jumped around in the sand and went to a playground. It was just an amazing time, and it was so great to be able to spend time with my close friends. Time is fleeting and it's important to make the best of what is left.

Swings with Laura!

After spending an hour or two along the beach, we headed to Lentil As Anything for a second time in the last week. This time I had the Moroccan Hot Pot, which was a vegetable curry with rice, bread and salad.

All of our food

We also all shared the Japanese Pancakes which was a vegetable pancake that was delicious, along with 3 dips and bread. It was all delicious.

After lunch we came back and all went our separate ways to "study".
All in all it was a great day!
