Brighton =)

omg it was just bloody brilliant :D

so school ended thurs right. and i was suppose to leave straight after school but everyone got delayed so i ended up goin home first. well it was a 4 hour car drive to there. (for those who dont know, bright is sort of like a valley at the base of a mountain kinda thing). cause it had been cold past few days aunty packed extra jackets and stuff expecting bright to be really cold cause it usually is. but of course, the weather yet again changed for me. perfect sunny weather all through my 5 day stay at bright. it started HEAVILY raining on our last day there, on our drive back. hahha. talk abt good luck.

anywayz, we stayed in this really nice cabin next to a river with the whole suspension bridge. and i met the other fam we were staying with(friends of the family). they were all super nice. in the mornings, a bakery van would drive pass and we would get like jam donuts and hot cross buns and stuff for breakfast. DELICIOUS.

right. he is the part ur not gonna believe. I rode my bike 6k! to bright! and 6k! back. i nearly died. lol. see our cabin is abt 6ks from bright. and everyone rides. only prob is i havent ridden since i was 12. seriously. so like i went ahead with one of my cousin and one of the dads as they agreed to keep at my pace. and they were just so brilliantly nice. encouraging. i was on a rented bike right. first time on the way to bright, i really thought i would die. i was like EXHAUSTED. and we were just never reaching. then my aunty was riding behind me and she was like, oh sash u got in on too low a gear hence ur doing too much work and going nowhere. so i changed to a higher gear but i didn feel that much of a diff. FINALLY we reached bright, OMG THANK GOD, and we ate the most yummy ice cream. hung out in the park. then it was time to LEAVE! my butt was still sore k! i couldn leave. i was so dreading the ride back wondering how i would survive. i started. this time my couz also pointed out that i should get into higher gear but i was already at the highest. so she traded bikes with me to see what i was doing wrong. turns out my gears werent working all that good. so she let me use her bike on the way back. MY GOSH the difference! it was so much easier. haha.

sunday: EASTER! and wow the amount of chocs i had. choc overload i tell u. at breakfast i had a choc brownie and a caramel slice with choc toppings. then it was time for the easter egg hunt. i got one HUGE bunny choc. about 8 fist size eggs. and abt 30 small eggs. i could hardly eat anything after the sugar rush breakfast. lol. so i have been slowly eating them. till now! i still have a bunch of eggs. anywayz, then we went for the easter flea market. everything was so nice. i got a pair of ugg boots. did i mention they are so many dogs all over bright cause like owners take them out there. i sooo miss my darlin zac.

then next day, they tell me we are riding to an even further place for a picnic! its PAST bright UP a huge hill. just great. so it was 6k to bright then another abt 2-3k mostly uphill to the picnic place. all in all, my life was sucked out of me. haha. but again, the ppl i was with were great so i never felt too bad. and the picnic place was really nice. had so much fun there. and plus, ride back was heaven cause what goes up must come down. haha. downhill rocks. lol.

another example abt how bloody encouraging aussie ppl are: so we were at the park. and the boys(ben-friend,ro-couz,ki-couz) were playing with the soccer ball. then some random guys came up to them askin if they wanted to join and have a match. course they said yes. my couz tash joined them as well. but me and laura opted out cause well we know we suck and we told them we suck. haha. so we're nicely talkin by the sidelines while they play. and all is good. but hardly 2 minutes into the game, the random guys r insisting that we play no matter the warnings we give them. my couz physically dragged me up to play. and it was fun. duh. and everyone was great. nvm i pass the the wrong side, they would say 'nice kick'. hahaha.

right, i have sooo gone on for way too long.

ps: pics will come later
