Getaway

I just hot home from a three day holiday with the lovely Boyfriend. While i was in Europe, he booked a little place in Goolwa for us to escape the rest of the world for awhile. The place was on the beachfront, with just a dune before the sand. It was an old, converted church. Tiny but cozy. The downstairs was open plan, with a big living room, a dining table, kitchen and the bathroom (which had a jacuzzi, which was cool). Stairs led up to a loft that had the big double bed and the balcony that looked over the beach. I loved it. Ok, so it was badly lit, and the bed sqeaked more than a colony of mice, but that didn't bother us.

We got there monday night, after we went shopping for supplies (yum, food). I took the boy to the Ned's shop in victor (the country equivalent to cheap as chips) and Target Country (because the concept confused the boy, he'd never been to one). When we arrived at our place and settled in, we enjoyed the view until it was time to get dinner, which we brought home and ate while we watched the extended version of Friends - awesome.

Somehow we managed to spend all of tuesday doing not much. We slept in, read in bed (boyfriend made me a toastie in bed for brekkie, because he's so lovely), had lunch at the bakery, shopped for matches and candles to fulfill the romantic quota and come back for a nap. It was late by the time we went for tea, and we ate it infront of The Cave - a fairly crappy scary movie about people trapped in a cave. Not worth watching, i must say. Even if it did have Piper Perabo in it, whom i like.

It took us three hours to clean up this morning, and over an hour to get back into Adelaide. We were racing, as boyfriend had to be at work... but, once i dropped him off and went home, i got a call saying his shift had been changed and i had to go back and get him. Grr. We raced all day for nothing! Never mind.

Our holiday was so much fun, we hated having to leave! If it had been up to us (and our wallets were bottomless) we would've stayed much longer. It was so nice just to relax togehter, we literally had nothing to do but hang out. I can't wait to go back. Hopefully, we will soon!
