week fifty one | mornington peninsula, victoria

It’s hard to write about your favorite person on earth without getting all mushy and gross so today’s blog will be a simple one. The week before Christmas lovely Max celebrated his birthday and it was a pretty big one so it was fitting that we should hire a house and fill it with some of his best friends.

We set out for Rosebud mid-Saturday morning. It also happened to be day 3 of a massive heat wave so I think we were all rather relieved to discover that the house (another brilliant airbnb find) had aircon and a big deck out front which was the perfect spot to hang out and drink all afternoon.

After a quick visit to the beach we had fish chips for dinner and played cards and ping pong, all grateful to the heat for subsiding somewhat.

The next morning a bunch of us headed to brunch at a gorgeous little café and shop which was strangely located at an indoor pool. Don’t let that fool you though, we spent a few hours there ordering endless coffees and shopping for last minute Christmas jam.

It was then time for the beach again and this time we headed to Sorrento’s back beach. This means it’s ocean rather then bay water, complete with cooler temperatures (refreshing as could be) and waves.

We also got a chance to explore some rock pools and jump off some big rocks – I, of course, embarrassed myself in front of a gaggle of fearless small kids.

It was a great weekend celebrating Max with a bunch of very excellent people.


TRIP RATING: 5/5 beers on the deck
