For my birthday weekend we decided to get out of the city with a little road trip up down the Great Ocean road to see the 12 Apostles, something that many of my patients and new found friends have repeatedly recommended for us. And needless to say we were not disappointed! :)
When we came back to the city we went out for a very nice dinner, drank some wine and had some AMAZING fish!! Thanks guys!! Unfortunately we had to call it an early night as Marko was feeling under the weather still, having caught Dengue Fever while in Bali, poor guy :(
On my actually birthday day, I awoke to find Marko, Theresa and Alyssa had made my birthday breakfast (banana pancakes!!!) complete with our new Justing Beiber poster wishing me a Happy Birthday!! SO GOOD!!! After becoming completely full, while Marko was still recuperating, the girls and I decided to go get some birthday cake at one of our favorite spots, Lindt, and explore some more of downtown (don't worry we tried to make it seem like Marko was with us by inserting his photo in some of our pics!). On the tram trip down, Theresa decided that because this was my 27th birthday, I should be required to do 27 random things that day, but due to time constraints (we had plans that night) she compromised for me to do just 9 (2+7=9), always the logical one, that one. So hence the crazy pics below, and of course while doing each of them, I had to hold the all important sign "Its my Birthday!"
So here goes the list, keep in mind we came up with all of them in a 15-20 min tram ride.
#1 Eat Macaroons (A must!)
#2 Take a pic with a street artist
#3 Try on a all floral outfit (I do NOT like floral outfits!)
#4 Pet an animal
#5 Find someone with the same birthday (we had to improvise on this one)
#6 Perform 9 jumping jacks in a public space
#7 Find an animal ring (Theresa had a turtle ring, and Alyssa had bought a dolphin ring in Bali)
#8 Shake hands with one of authority (this one I had to do twice as I only took a pic with one of authority the first time, no shaking of the hands)
#9 Something including a dolphin (excluding Alyssa's ring)(this was Alyssa's idea, apparently we all have to watch a show called The Cove)
So there you go, that should clear up some of the random pics of me!
My birthday night was summed up with an scrumptious dinner at my favorite Greek restaurant called "Jim's Greek Tavern" that reminds me of the Soup Nazi, but it has amazing food!! From there we went to see one of my favorite reggae bands from New Zealand called, "Katchafire" in Melbourne, Theresa and I had seen them in San Diego a year ago and here we are seeing them in Melbourne, Australia!! This was a great ending to a great birthday celebration weekend! Thanks Marko, Theresa and Alyssa for making it so great!!
