We don't seem to get as many bank holidays here in Perth as you do over at that freezing cold place at the other side of the world, so when we do get one we relish the day or two days that we get. Of course Easter break is world wide and getting two days off work in a row is a rarity which makes it a super long hot weekend to get out and have fun which is just what we did on this particular Good Friday.
A friend of a friend invited us out on his boat for the day so we figured what the hell, let's grab some beers and head off down the river for a Barbie. Of course its takes for ever for this lot to get organised especially after the boys have had a big night out the night before! But of course it was well worth the wait once we got out on the water.
They dropped the girls off at the waters edge while they water skied around as the boat was too heavy with all of us on. We chattered and watched the boys stack over and over, then headed off to another part on the river for lunch which for some bizarre reason had a marquee set up with tunes kicking out so we chilled for a little while before heading across the water to balckwall reach which is a high wall where all these stupid people jump off in to the water without trying to kill themselves!! Of course I stayed on the boat as did the other girls while we laughed at the lads.
Once the testosterone had depleted a little we moved to a quieter part of the river and took turns on the doughnut which was wild, being whipped around all over the place - check out the pics especially the ones of me pulling all kinds of weird faces!! And watch the video's for the stacks at the end - one of them is pretty spectacular!
We caught a little too much sun and was pretty knackered by the time we had all done so we headed home to chill out. Top day for sure.
The next day we had to take our coffee machine back cause its bustered already; we've only had it 6 months so we managed to get out money back with little fuss and bought a more industrial one which hopefully should last us a bit longer!
On Sunday we went to Freo street festival which was ok but fully of kids running riot and its was to hot to be standing around in the street so we sacked it off and went home.
Monday we just chilled and prepared ourselves to go back to work the next day - oh if only we could have a fully week off. Well only 7 weeks to go till we got on that plane!
To be continued. . . . .
