After a decent nights sleep I was up at the crack of 10am to get ready and head off to the gym. On the way to the gym I decided to stop at a noodle place to try the gyoza. They were very good, but still not as good as Belle’s. I was in and out of the gym in 90 minutes and then I spent an hour walking around Melbourne city looking for a white cuff.
No luck on the cuff front, but I did buy a bunch of books. I figure I’m gonna be on a plane for quite a few hours over the next few months, so I felt it was a wise investment.
I then met Nassima at Melbourne Central, and gave her the present from Jules and the shoes she’d left on her last visit to Perth. We swapped travel stories, with me telling her all about Japan and her telling me all about her trip to India, Malaysia and Thailand. After a few beers I had to go pick up my hire car and Nass had to go to her lecture.
After I got the car I went to Crown casino to meet Jana for half price beer and pizza at Automatic. I was going to get there early so I played Streetfighter 4 in the arcade next to Crown. When I was finished getting my ass handed to me, I walked back through Crown to Automatic. It’s about a 5 minute walk. Along the way I walked past Tex Perkins (rock star), Danny Bhoi (comedian) and then while I was sitting, waiting for Jana, Ruebens Barrichello and Felipe Massa (F1 Drivers) walked past. You wouldn’t see that many celebrities in Perth in a year! (or maybe I just hang out at the wrong places).
I had dinner with Jana and Jeremy. It was really awesome to see Jeremy again, as after some of the issues of last year, I doubted we would ever be friends again, but it looks like things are healing, which is great.
After dinner I went home, grabbed my stuff and jumped in the car. It’s about a 2 hour drive to Phillip Island, so I was going to be getting there at around 11pm. When I arrived I was hugely surprised at my room at The Waves apartments. I walked in and saw a dining table, a kitchenette and a bunk bed, and I thought that was it, but the room had a spa in the bathroom and another huge bedroom with couches and a double bed. It was almost a shame that I was there alone, and would be only using it for 6 hours.
But I didn’t have time to be thinking about the room. I needed my rest. Tomorrow I would be taking on the best racetrack in the world.
