Ever had abalone for breakfast, lunch and dinner? Well, I'm proud to say I have. Roger invited us Nic, Tim & me, to his family beach home in Port Fairy, a few hours from Melbourne, just past Warnambool. Just to get away for from the city for the weekend to chill and relax. (Roger was Nicole's archi cour
semate). That's Roger in the middle. We were playing this board game - some war game where you have to conquer your enemies' land, can't remember the name (if anyone knows what its called can you please let me know?) since there is absolutely nothing to do at night except to create your own entertainment. In the morning, Nic, Tim & Rog went abalone fishing (...tsk tsk tsk....I was too chicken shit to go down into the freezing waters despite given thick wetsuits).We made abalone omellette, pan fried abalone, abalone steak (a whole one for each of us), you name it....yuummmy! Rog made us sticky date pudding for desert, and other stuffs we cooked were chicken in milk, and stuffed baby calamari. Soooo goood.....!! Oh, and of course, loads of alcohol to go with it, beer...wine...port. What else can you ask for??? Talk about satisfaction....
Ok ok, enough about the fantastic food. The house was right in front of the sea...awesome! You can hear the relaxing sound of the waves constantly, and had a really nice setup and garden. They even have a veggie patch...cool. We went strolling along the beach in the afternoon and looking for weird creatures by the rocks. It was just the trip we all needed, away from the city buzz with little to no television, and just purely taking time to soak in nature and spend quality time. Anyhows, this was on the daylight savings weekend. the guys took and 2 extra days off on the following monday & tuesday while I couldn't get off, so I had to take the train home from the Warnambool station.., and guess what...none of us remembered that it was daylight savings, so that when i got to the station, I was an hour late...damn!! Well, it was kinda like a blessing in disguise, so I could stay longer. I had to call in sick to work...kekekke, and took off on the evening train instead and had the day to hang out with the guys.
AWESOME holiday!!!
