For a quick one nite getaway, Nilo, Brighton, and myself went to Geelong with a couple of friends that we met thru work. Geelong is about an 1 1/2 drive up the coast, North of Melbourne. It's kind of a random little place... not somewhere I would normally just go to without knowing anyone. But in this case it was great!!
Our friend had a little setup right on the water in the bay, so we dropped off our stuff, then hopped on the boat. Drove around for a bit, and the water was crystal clear and super shallow in some parts. Of course the Aussies had a crack at the Americans about the sharks... blah blah blah, but I chose to ignore those bits. Mostly because sharks are in my top 3 fears.
After stopping for lunch, cruising around, yadda yadda, we found a sweet tower (meant to direct large ships and to show them where the deeper water is) and climbed it, and proceeded to jump off it. Was absolutely amazing! The top was pretty damn high, and covered in bird crap (gross but whatevs) and when you looked down it was just a dark blue with these white splotches everywhere.
Those splotches turned out to be ginormous jellyfish, which sting for daysss... so as I jumped, I strategically jumped where there were no jellies. I succeeded. Then I didn't move until the boat came to pick me up. And the whole time I was waiting all I could think about were sharks and or/gnarly Australian underwater creatures.
After that we finished off the day tubing, and were followed by dolphins, then of course a nite of pizza and wine... was oh so great!
