Started the day at Kennedy Park, where cats hang...? and I don't mean cool cats. Mike found himself the lucky participant in a social experiment (which he bloody lives for) about keeping the parks clean. It was sort of like a candid camera setup because ... Read more >

Breakfast at a cafe for something different. Whole day devoted to beach laziness. I swam about a km across the beach - I packed the goggles for times like this. The water was super clear, just like being in a pool. Reading and listening to music and ... Read more >
