Saturday 27-09 - Night out

I woke up still overstuffed and drunk from dinner. We slowly got dressed.

We went to Brunswick mall to find our Grrandparents. They were planning to see a movie there. There was no success in phone them so we assumed they had already gone in. We decided to wait for them with a light soup at the amazing Japanese place The Hare and Tortoise. We walked in the door to see the grandparents, eating laksa. They just hadn´t heard the phones. We all got a big table and ate big bowls of soup.

The afternoon was spent in the park, blowing bubbles to Aiden. We sat amongst the crowds of people. Strange,there weren´t usually so many people around. Also, not usually so many hippies doing yoga and meditation. Turns out down the street was a annual festival of life. The street was full of veggie powered cars and organic coconut drinks. We walked around, watching the festival goers. Then to the local pub to poison our bodies with cider and wine. Karen, Dani, Josh,Aiden and I sat in a tiny walled beer garden. We looked for the sun behind the walls. With it the garden was cold,so we went to meet the others at the grandparents´ hotel. There we had some more drinks.

That evening Dani and I went to afterskool club. It was full of young hip things dancing away. We were going there to meet at least a dozen Perth originated people. We took over a chunk of the dance floor with our silly Perth dancing and good times. I had my second ever snake bite (larger, cider, red cordial), but my first snakebite in London. Dani kept telling me stories about the lethal Afterskool snakebites and now I finally got a chance to try one. It wad a good night.
