NV'S MORNING JOG @ SURFERS

This morning we decided to split up like Scooby Style. While Oishii headed off to some factory outlets I took the easy way out and headed out for breakfast followed by a morning jog along the beach. Oishii stormed out while I headed back to the café that we bolted off from the other morning. I sat myself down and decided to go with the budget breakfast. The breakfast wasn’t that great but it was nice and relaxing to sit back and enjoy the city.

After breakfast I decided to go for a jog slash walk along the beach. Trust me trying to run along the beach is difficult. I started off with a light jog to only end up walking along the water. I think this was one of my favorite parts of the holiday. I was enjoying the beauty, the heat and the water of Surfers Paradise.
I walked for 1.5 hours and enjoyed it so much that I wanted to continue walking but thought that Oishii may return back to the apartment early and I had the key on me. Not that she would leave her shopping early.

Regardless I decided to start making my long way back to the apartment. While I was only half of the way Oishii rings screaming down the phone that she will be back within half an hour. My walk just went from strolling to speed walking.

SURFERS PARADISE SEPT 2006

I finally get back to town when I call Oishii to see where she is. She tells me to meet her at the front of the apartment. So I start walking to the apartment when I spot Oishii with a handful of bags. God she’s definitely brought half of the shopping center. So I do the next best thing I start screaming "CHRISTINEEEEE" to get her attention. When she realizes the lunatic screaming CHRISTINE is me she responds by screaming CHRISTINE back at me. I race over when she dumps all her shopping bags into my arms.

We head back to the apartment when Oishii decides to parade around displaying what she brought from the factory outlets. On that note we decide we need to relax by heading downstairs for a swim. I tell Oishii to meet me down there, as I need to go grab a quick bite to eat. So I race to Subway to get a sandwich while Oishii settles into the pool downstairs.

I enjoy my lunch on the balcony while Oishii is swimming. I finish off my sandwich and race downstairs to join her to only realize she is sunbaking in the sun. I start screaming my head off that all week I have been listening to her whinging about the fact she has been sunburnt and now she’s sunbaking on her own good free will.

I try getting into the pool only to realize its freezing cold so I decide to settle for the warm Jacuzzi to relax. Only if we had wine to add to this. We stayed in the Jacuzzi for a good hour with one of the receptionist walking in and out of the apartment building. When the Jacuzzi came to a full stop neither one of us could be bothered getting out to press the button again.

During this time the receptionist came out and spotted us still in the Jacuzzi. She came over to tell us something. She blurts out "You know you can press the button to start the Jacuzzi right?" For fucks sake woman we have been pressing that button all morning and you have seen us. I felt like telling her to come and press it for us, as we were too lazy and relaxed to move.

The bitch disappears and we decide its time to get out of here to go to the sauna. We catch a lift to the sauna only to realize there is two saunas. One for the guys and the other for the girls. I get talked into going into the girls one. Luckily we were the only people in there. We sit down in the sauna when Oishii decides to get the thing working. She keeps turning up the temperature and I was about to pass out a one stage.

We spend a good half an hour in there when I realize I’ve had enough. We decide to leave when the only problem is we don’t know how to turn this thing off. Oishii plays with all the buttons and informs me that she thinks the sauna has turned off. So I decide to trust her and hope we don’t set the apartment building on fire.

We return to our apartment to have a shower and relax before we head out to dinner at the Dracula’s.
