A day in the life of....

So today started like any other day when a family decide to head of for an overnight trip to anywhere but here.  Having sorted out accommodation in a strange little place named Robin Hood (for the kids really) we set off along the coastline from St. Kilda to well as far as we could go really.  Stopped in Rosebud for lunch and the obligatory visit to St. Vinnies where I invested a huge sum of money in one small serving bowl and paid of silver salad servers that Tony spotted and decided would be nice at the princely sum of $3 we felt we had don well.  And Indeed we had.  Next onto Portsea.  I have  never travelled this side of the Westgate (well that is a lie just never travelled so far on the coastline usually the trips are on the motorway).  Portsea along with Rosebud, Sorento, Rye were all gorgeous and I could have happily settled for the rest of my days in any othe them.  On leaving portsea we were now actually at sea because we really had no idea where Noojee was let alone Robin Hood.  One and a half hours later we happended upon an old dirty white hotel/motel.  Pointing it out to tony and the Kids I became mildly hysterical if hysterical can be done mildly and started shouting "there it is, there it is" and in the same breath, "keep going its a kip, keep going its a kip".  Amidst the floods of laughter Tony took off at top speed, the patrons of Robin Hood Hotel didnt even flinch never mind look up as they finished their chat and fags .  We quickly decided that a night in our own beds would be much preferable than staying awake half the night in the grotty looking motel and trying to figure out how to escape without breakfast in the morning.  And so we find ourself ont he right side of the Westgate happy and smiling and looking forward to a day in toquay body boarding and surfing tomorrow.
