The Mornington Peninsula Buddy

We went back to Melbourne city for a day and did a few of the touristy things - went up the rialto tower which gives a nice view of the place. Also checked the Italian bit of the city and got some pasta in luigi's dodgy sweatbox or whatever it was called. Theres a lot of italian and greeks in Melbourne because a lot of them settled here after WWII (get you) so the standard ozzy vocab is actually half full with forgien words, especially in food.

We've managed to borrow a car for a while - we were hoping for a nice burbly V8 Ute which are the hieght of cool here - those kinda pickup trucks which are all lowered with alloys and full of ozzys with the shades and the arm out the window feelin all good. But we got a really boring Honda Odessey which is dead slow and has an auto slushbox. Breeze. At least it has A/C which is a definite bonus! So...we've been slowly working our way around the towns and places surrounding Melbourne - theres loads of shite to see; which is all well and good, but it's just too easy to nip into one of the bottle shops, so we have been doing a bit too much daytime drinking. Oh well, shit happens.

Another thing to note, these ozzy's seem to have a fascination with hedge mazes - we went to see one today, and on the way we past 3 other ones; we seems to be right in the middle of maze and vineyard country. Ouch.

Quote of the day: 'How ya pullin' up after the weekend buddy?' = 'what-o old chap, how is your head feeling after that huge amount of alcohol you consumed the other evening?'
