When Sofie got back we hit the road. I quickly stopped in the internet cafe to send off some email with my phone number and adress. We drove an hour north along the coast to the Palm Beach area. We had an incredible lunch with an even more incredible view at a restaruatn overlooking Whale Beach. Spent the afternoon at the beach in Avalon. After we started to feel like maybe we'd had just a bit to much sun we headed for a the pub. We had a beer then decided that it could be a major night and made some phone calls to arange for a friend (Susie), to drive Chris up so Sof wouldn't have to drive home. They joined us at the pub then Lochy, another friend who lives nearby also joined us. We had planned on doing diner then heading back to Sydney, but after too much time in the pub, then a fantastic diner with good wine... well none of us were going to be driving home. Lochy droped us off at Susie's grandfather's house in Bay View and we crashed there for the night. A very nice birthday even with my parents getting confused and waking everybody up when they called at 3:45.
