Went to Brighton Beach with a bunch of friends on Saturday. What an awesome day it was.
Disclaimer: Regrettably, some pictures at the beach have strange dimensions/colouration. This was due to me trying to take photos in the glaring sun, and unable to properly check the shot taken.
And on with the program!
Met at Melbourne Central at 2pm. The huge timepiece opens up to reveal a pair of fiddling kids and a bunch of birds turning and flapping wings, to the tune of 'Waltzing Matilda'. Quaint.
After waiting for people to turn up and buying some provisions, we took the train to Brighton Beach, reaching the place at like 4pm.
Save for floating sea debris and turbulence, the water was crystal clear. Soooo disappointed in Singapore's beaches now. Oh and random jellyfish on the shore.
Suddenly, dogs! (Yes that's my finger, not some monstrous orange mass devouring the helpless dog, who happens to be huge by the way.)
More scenery, more people
More scenery, more people
Lonely fisherman
The girls swarmed this cute little guy as he came by with his family. Adorable little tyke probably have never been swarmed by so many Asian girls before in his life, and shortly after the whole lot descended upon him, he was plodding away trying to avoid their prying hands. his parents were pretty cool about it though.
Soon, darkness descended upon us. Pictured is one of the luxurious beachfront bungalows lining the coast.
Pitch-black darkness of the night sea, without any lights from random kelongs and ships at sea
Went to Sofia at Camberwell for dinner. Good-natured staff and wonderful Italian food. Crazy huge portions for the prices. We had 2 large serves of pasta (Seafood Marinara and Carbonara), one large garlic bread (which was a flat piece of bread baked on a pizza tray, not some wussy dinner roll), and a huge pizza (with anchovies! salt hit ftw).
Gelati for dessert! So many flavours put together into one huge pile. Banana, Orange, Strawberry, Hazelnut, Chocolate, Lemon, Pistachio, Choc-chip Mint, and Coffee. Our frozen dessert somehow took the shape of an Easter Egg, and someone drew a heart on it. Almost couldn't finish it though, hard to do so when everything starts to taste like indescribable sweet slush. People started drawing Obamas on the table with their spoons and the melted cream, for unknown reasons. Didn't take any photos of that, sadly.
Dinner only cost each person $6, what a steal! (We were 11-strong by the way.) The manager even gave us each a chocolate egg just because it was Easter.
I finally reached home at 11:45pm , and that was the end of a tiring but awesome day.
