It's been a seriously entertaining weekend despite the dreaded early starts. With another free media pass scored from work (yay), the workmates and i went to a screening of this awesome movie which has to be one of the better ones i have seen this year. Oh yes, much better than that one with the pirates. A couple of hours (and a nap) later, i got dragged out of bed for my 2nd movie for the day, equally entertaining though not as funny. Now today's plans got me all giddy with excitement this week that i even lost some sleep over it last night (that or could be the 9pm coffee i had at the movies). For months now i've heard plenty about this little cafe near the beach that serves some awesome big brekkie, and more importantly they have stuff with hollandaise sauce on top. Hmm, i'll get out of bed any day for some finger lick'in good hollandaise sauce. A little wait and some dancing in the rain later, my hollandaise arrived. Filled up and wired after my super-sized coffee, we headed to Freo for a walkabout and ogled at the Kitty Hawk docked at port. My suggestion to befriend a sailor to get a tour onboard fell on deaf ears. So we ate gelato and drank beer instead. Our old happy place turned out to be not quite as we remembered. The prices have gone up and the staff has caught some airborne obnoxious virus (let's hope its not contagious) ... but at least the beer still taste the same.
