Kamron and I spent Tuesday recuperating from our early flight back from Adelaide. We watched Californication and lounged around all day! It was wonderful. The weather didn’t help matters either. Rain, perfect lazy weather. We did eventually venture out to Highpoint to get a good coffee and some decent food. Australia seems to have chocolate shop everywhere you look. Kamron and I decided to try out the chocolate shop at Highpoint. No words can explain how wonderful the cappuccinos tasted. Coffee and chocolate, how cold you go wrong with two of the most wonderful inventions?!
We then ventured out for dinner, where I had my first lamb burger. Look at me trying all of these new meats! What makes this restaurant awesome was that they gave you a free order of chips (which is what they call fries in Australia, weird, I know), if you could name the Disney character that said “fish are friends not food.” Guess who knew it?! MEEE! I will give you a second to try and figure it out. Pausingg… Bruce from Finding Nemo. Hehe. I’m a cool cat – duh!
We looked around the mall for a bit after dinner, and then we made our way back to the computer lab so that Kamron could study some for his exam. Wednesday, Kamron got up to take his exam, while I slept in! Wohoooo! Sleep! We headed to the city when he got back to hit up an awesome café that we discovered on a trip to the city. The coffee was cheap, but actually the best I had had so far. Awesome find! After heading to the café with Kamron’s friend Penn, we headed to Victoria Market, which was closed unfortunately. In an attempt to not be too disappointed we looked around the city for a bit before me made it to the King Tutankhamun exhibit at the Melbourne Museum. Soooo cool! I even got some pictures, which was not allowed. Hehe. Such a delinquent!
After searching some more, we were able to find another hole in the wall restaurant for dinner. I got a pumpkin risotto. They have so many pumpkin dishes here! Why can we not have this in America? Sheesh! I could eat pumpkins until I turned into one!
Next stop – the casino! My first casino visit! I didn’t win anything, and I got carded almost every time. I cannot escape it, even in a foreign country! We headed back early, because of my flight in the morning. I unfortunately didn’t get to see Harry and Josef before I left, but I plan on visiting them some day in Austria.
