St Kilda Beach Outing












 A trip to St Kilda this afternoon on public transport gave us lots of photo opportunities, enjoyment and free entertainment. The idea was to get there early and get tickets to the Open Air Cinema to see The Orbweavers, who were performing just before the screening of the movie Seven Psychopaths. Unfortunately when we got there the tickets were sold out, so we decided to hang around, have a drink and then see if we could get a pick of the band from the outside. So we walked to St Kilda Pier and had a warm coffee (finally it was actually hot) so needed after struggling with the cold wind until it was time for the band to perform. We found a great spot just on the side of the fence and saw and heard the band for free!! I really think they are a band worth seeing live, their songs are so Melbournian and you get a piece of history with every song. When we got home we got a HUGE family pizza from a new pizza shop in Templestowe Shops called Sweedish Pizza and happily ate it whilst watching a strange film called Reboot which ended up being a very short film to our surprise. A lovely way to spend this Saturday, free of stress and mundane things.

Un viajecito en transporte publico hasta St Kilda nos dio muchas oportunidades fotograficas y entretenimiento gratuito. La idea era ir temprano y conseguir tickets para el Cine al Aire Libre para ver a Los Orbweavers, quienes iban a tocar antes de la pelicula "Los Siete Psicopatas". Desgraciadamente cuando llegamos los tickets ya estaban agotados asique decidimos quedarnos por ahi ya que descubrimos un lindo lugarcito afuera desde donde se veia el escenario super bien. Asique caminamos por la playa hasta el muelle y nos tomamos un cafe calentito (por suerte estaba caliente!) tan necesario para combatir el viento de la tarde hasta que se hizo la hora para que toque la banda. Llegamos a nuestro lugar encontrado y desde ahi vimos y oimos la banda gratis! Realmente creo que esta banda valen la pena ver en vivo, sus canciones son tan Melbourianas y aprendes un pedacito de hsitoria en cada cancion. Cuando llegamos a casa compramos una pizza ENORME en una pizzeria nueva de Templestowe que se llama Sweedish Pizza y la comimos felizmente mientras miramos una pelicula llamada Reboot que resulto ser un shortfilm para nuestra sorpresa. Una forma muy agradable de pasar la tarde este Sabado, sin estres y sin cosas mundanas que hacer.
