Byron Bay

Last weekend (Grand Final weekend) I was up in Byron Bay with some of my girls. Best. Fun. Ever! omg we laughed so much, it was the best 4 days I have had in a while!

We arrived quite late Thursday night so didn't get up to much just chilled at the house, we wanted to get up early to get as much beach time possible! We were all up quite early and we hit the beach straight away, it was so delicious, 24 degrees with no clouds in sight!

Byron Bay beach is so amazeballs, I love lying there for hours just listening to the sea and squeaky sand. We all went into the water after heating up a bit on the sand....it was so frikkin cold!!! it was like Melbourne cold! but we just did it...ran in without thinking and it was divine once your private parts are used to the cold! haha!

As we all hadn't been in the sun for a few months we were pretty keen to stay there for a while, we had a break to go get on of the amazing Bay Kebabs...ohh I could eat one right now. We were on the beach for a good 5 hrs before we realised some of us were getting pretty burnt...very burnt, red raw skin so we decided to go start drinking! yeah! drinking!

We didn't have a big one that night as the Grand Final day was the next day and we knew that we would be drinking allllll day and night so we made lasagna and watched a movie.

We thought getting to the Beach Hotel at 12 would mean great table and enough seats for us all to sit on.....no way were we correct, it look like people had been there for hours and they had the best spots, it was so annoying! We found a little round table and moved it into the big tv area and searched for chairs..we finally all squeezed around and started on our first cider.

When the game started we all got so into it! My one friend Maddy is the biggest Geelong fan (you can tell by her outfit!) and it was so much fun being in that atmosphere, surrounded by drunken fools and being one yourself!

After the game finished we went out for a quick dinner as we all needed to eat. We had Thai and it was delicious, it was BYO too which was dangerous...we basically got a bottle of wine each!! After dinner we went to a club called La La Land, we got there at like 8.30 and it had just opened so we were the first ones there...i've never been first in a club but it is sooo much fun! you have to d floor to yourself and you don't have to wait for drinks!! The Best!!
In our crazy state we decided we were not allowed a drink without a shot, haha! so that is what we did all night, a vodka drink with either tequila or agwa!

Myself and some of the girls were out that night until 4.30am....jesus it was a long day of drinking! We woke up feeling so gross, our heads were hurting and our mouths tasted like a rat had died inside them but we were in that delusional state were everything was the funniest thing we had ever heard! ah so funny! That night we had a really nice restaurant booked for dinner so after lazing around all day we all dressed up and went out for dinner, some of us got our going out feeling back and we were ready for round 2 baby! We had a delicious dinner with delicious wine and amazing cocktails and after we had finished with dinner we moved on to La La Land again......YEAH!

Round 2 we were out very late as well..oh my it was a big one..same went down, 1 drink, 1 shot...why do we do it to ourselves!

Byron Bay was so much fun, each time I go it just gets better and better and there is nothing like a good little holiday here and there!

Going on a Holiday is the best! woo!

Peace xx

Cape Town, Part 2

I couldn't just write one post on Cape Town, it was too much fun and such an amazing place!


As we went to Cape Town a few months after the World Cup the hype of it all was still massive and it was so much fun being in that atmosphere. We had an opportunity to go to a match, USA vs South Africa and of course we went!

It was so great walking towards the stadium! There is a street right by it that is filled with restaurants so we went there for dinner and drinks....and so did the other 50,000 people that were attending the game! It was insane!
After a few drinkies we started to head towards the stadium - we had pretty awesome seats, right near the ground and had a great view! I am not usually one to be that excited about watching a whole football match but with all the vuvuzela's and people having a ball, it was so much fun!

Enough about football.....It is the wineries just outside of Cape Town that you want to hear about!! They were delicious and amazing!!
Micah, Ryan and I went to so many wineries while we were there...they are all very close together and so cheap that you can easily squeeze 5 wineries in 1 day!!
I couldn't tell you all of the wineries we went to because there were too many but each and everyone one of them were so beautiful and the wine was incredible...at one winery we even tried the best wine for 2009....and let me tell you....I wanted to drink the whole bottle!!

The Winery we were at (picture above) had wine and chocolate tasting, just what the doctor ordered! It was a beautiful day and the setting was amazing, we sat there and the waitress came out and said we could try 8 wines for $3!!!! It is so cheap that it just makes sense going to wineries if you live in Cape Town all the time!! ( I know I would! ha!)

After we finished off all the delicious wines at this winery (no we did not spit..we swallowed!) we drove on to the next winery and this is where we tried the best wine of 2009..I wish i took a photo of it or remembered its name but nope..I was too busy drinking! We decided to have some fun in the grape vines before we moved on to our next destination.....another winery!

I highly recommend if you go to South Africa go to the wine regions just outside of Cape Town, you will not regret as the country side is so lovely and the wine is even nicer!

As I told you in my previous post that i really wanted to see a shark while i was in South Africa I thought going to seal island would be the key....you think seal...you think shark trying to eat it so naturally I thought there would be some big nasty great whites hanging around. Ryan and I took a boat out to seal island..it is only about 1km off the shore and it is a big flat rock where thousands of seals hang out, sun bake and play in the water, very cute!

When the boat was near them they were jumping in the water and coming up near the boat, it was cute and I wish i paid them more attention but it was so rocky out there that i needed to sit down and stare at one spot...I am shocking when it comes to being out on the sea... I always think the worst. These little guys were great to watch but alas no shark :( It would have been the best thing in the world to see a big mumma jump out of the water!

Alright guys, It's that time again where i love you and leave you but before I leave you check out some amazeball photo's of my trip.

I saw the best table cloth on Table mountain!!
