11 Hours of Katherine

Okay, so the term ended on Friday. To commemorate, Katherine, Mollie and I began an old tradition of going to the city constantly for no reason!

Sunday morning, I met Mollie at the station at 10. Then we caught the train towards the city and Katherine got on at Seaford. Once we got to Flinders Street, we took a leisurely walk along the Yarra and found the Melbourne version of "the place". If your name is Zoe you'll probably get that.

Anyway, I was sorta hungry, so by around noon we were at Southbank but didn't eat anything because I'm a cheapskate. Sooo we walked out of Southbank, back to the Yarra and Katherine reeeeally wanted to go through the market, although it was teriffically boring. After escaping the packedness that was the Yarra market, we could've either turned around for 10 metres and crossed over the bridge above us over the river but for some reason kept walking and got to the ferris wheel on the other side (that was pretty much adjacent to the previous bridge) like 15 minutes later. Snore.

Funny story: on the ferris wheel (that Mollie paid for, thanks!) Mollie decided we should rock it, so her and Katherine in particular kept rocking it around as I talked to the people behind us as often as possible and Vega played on the speaker in the gondola. Vega was soon interrupted with the control man's voice telling us to stop shaking the thingy. o.O Oops.

So we passed by Federation Square and texted various jumping-related and Helga-related messages to the wall, NONE OF WHICH EVER CAME UP. How stingy is that? So we went and got Subway (well katherine did) then we got the city circle to the Docklands park.

I really don't think there's any better park. Mollie was dead or tired or something so Katherine and I had fun and took pictures on those big metallic circles. Afterwards we went to the State Library and had some learning fun!

So it's about 3:30 now and we caught the train back to Frankston from Melb Central and got there at about 10 to 5, though it was packed with Melb Show scum people. After stalling for half an hour and having Mollie go home, katherine and I decided to walk to church.

We were rostered on welcoming so we stood at the door saying hello to people. Kirk and Kate eventually showed up (they are totally going out) and Katherine and I persuaded as many people as possible to come to La Porchetta's with us afterwards. Eventually, Kirk, Kate, Alex, Evan, Katie, Zac and Dave Bailey came with us and we had lots of pizza and funtime. :)

So at 9 the PCC church group also showed up which was really obscure as most of them are from Bayside. Now there isn't much of a story after this, so we all went home and I spent 11 hours with Katherine yesterday, not a minute of it at each other's houses. :D

Aloha.
