After my last post, we spent a few days bumming around Ruby and Steve's place taking it easy. Lazy days, jogs around Princes Park with the dog Mika (my new best pal), nights filled with beers in the backyard and various new friends.
Last Tuesday (Jan 15th) we drove to a nearby beach called Half Moon Bay, in the St Kilda suburb of Melbourne (I believe). It took be about 3 days to realize that when Australians say "St Kilda", they are not actually saying "Sin killed her", which sounded terrifying. it was not, in fact, terrifying. It was gorgeous!
Because of the bay, the ocean was still, and all around there were sandstone cliffs in bright yellows and rusty oranges. In the middle of the bay is a partially submerged shipwreck, which naughty people swim out to and jump off of (pretty sure you're not supposed to...but that might just be my lazy excuse to have stayed lounging on the shore). We explored some of the cliffs, then had fish and chips as the sun started setting. It was a gorgeous day. Here's some photographic evidence.

All in all it was a lovely day. We went to bed early to get an early start on the next day's adventure - a drive around various spots in Victoria state to visit various friends. More about our trip in my next post!
