We had a laid back morning followed by a calm day. I have done really well at making sure we alternate between activity days and play it by ear days. It keeps B from getting too overwhelmed and it keeps both of us from getting too exhausted. Yesterday started out with our normal breakfast. I am really loving the staff here. They are so attentive and they remember. The one guy knows exactly what I want to drink, where we like to sit, etc. It's that kind of attention to detail that I find refreshing. This is why DoubleTree brand is one I really like. Whether it's London, Melbourne, Canada, or even Tennessee, I really do have the best experiences at this brand.
After breakfast I went for a little explore specifically to find AC/DC Lane. Wow, that was cool. From the graffiti to the tributes to Malcolm Young, it was fucking neat! I took so many pictures. We ended up going back that night to the Cherry Bar when they were open for me to take more pictures.
We headed out around noon to meet B's friend and do some exploring in the 'suburbs'. We went to a nice outdoor mall where they got these things from a book called the Lost Forest. It's a whole shop/experience kind of thing. It's all based on a series of children's books and they have translated it into stores. Like if Fraggle Rock had a store with events and stories. It was pretty cool especially since it was a weekday in winter and there were no children there. That was the best part.
We were at this mall until a good 4pm then headed back to the hotel where B's friend's bf met us. The four of us then went out for burgers for dinner. They headed back home around 8 and we relaxed in the room.
I got paid around 8pm last night since you know, the future and all, and I did bills. Just because I am on the road, doesn't mean I can slack off.
Two more full days to go then we head home. Today we are going to the beach and then B is off to see a play. It's about HP and she's very excited. I am just going to hang out while she does that. No definite plans but I am sure I can find something to do.
