We've been here almost a week and still hadn't hit up the beach. The weather is partially to blame for that, but the other reason includes us having to be productive by getting a few things set up (bank account, cell phone, random errands).
We woke up to a beautiful day, walked to the grocery store, bought some picnic snacks and wine, and were ready to get our tan on.
I was surprised by how many people were out on the beach at noon on a Wednesday, but they were probably thinking the same thing about us.
I love everything here so far except for one small thing. A really small thing.
FLIES!
We met a lady in our running group and I asked what was up with all the flies? She said they come out around summertime with the northern winds and everywhere you look people are shooing them away...a term known locally as the "Melbourne Wave." They're not bad at night, if it's windy, or you're running, but they sure know how to fly right at your face. They're also a lot smaller than your typical house fly.
Anyhow, we weren't about to let a few small flies hold us back. We fully partook in getting our Aussie glow on and enjoyed every minute of it.
