After Dani and Lachlan's wedding in Adelaide, on return to Melbourne we were greeted by our friends from Nottingham University Katie and Ishan who stayed with us for just over two weeks. Between the 19th January and the 29th Dubs's friend Gemma and her friend Kate also stayed with us, so it was literally the Hotel Carlton.
On the 20th and the 21st January, Dubs went to the tennis with Katie, Ishan, Gemma and Kate, the 20th was a complete washout so they got tickets to the 21st for free. The only positive aspect of the washed out Saturday was the free Garnier products that they gave out (Shampoo, Fake Tan, Sun Tan lotion, Moisturiser, Toner and Cleansing Wipes) it was a two hour queue but it was definitely worth it. We all queued up for the same products on the Sunday. Dubs gave these products to Cess and she is still loving them. Anyway, we actually saw a full days play of tennis on the Vodafone Arena. We saw two mens games and two womens games, we were definitely tennised out by the end of the day.
The week after (Australia Day Weekend), we all went down to Phillip Island to stay for the weekend in Chad's holiday home. We hired a car with Katie and Ishan, which was definitely a very good move as it gave us far more freedom. On Australia day itself we just went down to the beach and played cricket, sunbathed then we went back home for a large barbecue. The next day we went to the main town on Phillip Island Cowes for lunch, then Cess, Dubs, Chad, Gemma and Kate played Crazy Golf while Katie and Ishan went to an animal sanctuary across the road. In the evening we went to the famous Penguin Parade on Phillip Island Beach, it was fairly overpriced and you could not take any photos! However, this did not stop Gemma. The first photo she took was actually a flash photograph; she severly got b******ed for this action and was told that she would be chucked out if she took another photo. However, contrary to this advice she cheekily took a photo without flash oblivious to the fact that the same security guard was watching her! She got escorted out of the complex by four different people and was made to wait outside, despite the freezing weather! HARSH!
