Brighton Beach

Got up at about 9am, which might be the latest I’ve slept in thus far. There were four of us sleeping in Amy’s room, so it was a tad stuffy. After showering and that sort of thing, we walked down to the arts and crafts market at St. Kilda’s beach. Lots of nice stuff, but nothing I was inclined to buy.

Rob and Amy decided to take Gregor and I to Brighton Beach, so we took Rob’s car along the water to the beach.There were a bunch of small boathouse like buildings lining the beach, which Rob figures cost a few hundred thousand each. It’s all about location, I suppose. We walked along the beach, which was not nearly as nice as Bondi, but didn’t go for a swim, as it was a little cool and overcast.

From Brighton we drove for about twenty minutes and grabbed some fish and chips at a small shop in Williamstown. The place was packed, so we decided to eat lunch in the park across the street, that overlooks the bay. Other than being stalked by seagulls, it was an enjoyable meal – but I think I’m greased out for another week or so. Back at Amy’s, we wanted to check out the St. Kilda’s Pride Parade.

By the time we got down to the esplanade, there was no sign of the parade, so we must have had bad timing. We grabbed groceries for dinner, then some gelatto. The three of us are exhausted (although we can’t figure out why, since we had plenty of sleep), so we’ll probably just relax at home tonight.
