I started my last day in Melbourne by getting stuck in traffic, roadworks and closed roads in my attempt to drive to the St Kilda Fitness First. After taking 35min on what should have been a 15min drive, I did my workout and grabbed a boost juice for myself and Jana on the way home.
We were meeting Alex for lunch in Carlton, in her break from Uni. Jana ,Alex and I all used to live together in Highgate about 7 years ago. It was a bit surreal to be together again as we’ve all changed so much, and yet we’re still the same. We reminisced about giant after parties where the power was out and cops were still called due to noise complaints, photos taken while people were unaware and making furniture out of milk crates.
Alex went back to uni and we went to Toorak. Jana had some stuff to do so I wandered around for a while. I found a shirt that sold some really awesome t-shirts, but the last thing I need is more t-shirts. So much so, that after looking at one shirt. I said “no” out loud and immediately walked out of the shop.
After that I took Jana back to Port Melbourne. Along the way I realised that I am actually really contented at the moment. Not because of where I am, but because of where I will be. I am really looking forward to the trip. It is really the only thing keeping me awake in any way. I have also made the decision that when I come back from Overseas, I will definitely be moving to Melbourne. I think this is what makes me happy. I love Melbourne, so even if all my plans overseas fall flat on their ass, I’m still gonna end up somewhere I love, with people I love. It’s a nice feeling to realise you are totally happy with your safety net. I think if I was coming back to Perth I’d feel a lot more stressed, because if Europe didn’t work out, I’d be coming back to the job and habits that I am trying to change.
After dropping Jana off in Port Melbourne I drove out to the airport and killed time before Trent, Tess and Cooper arrived. We all got on the plane and, to my surprise, Cooper was really well behaved.
All in all, I had a fantastic time in Melbourne. I know the blog for Melbourne was nowhere near as interesting as the Japan trip, but I’ll try to make up for that by hanging out with some crazy Dutch people when I hit up Holland in less than three months!
