Sorrento!

Well, we had a bit of a change of plans (a heart attack more like) this week!
Having planned to go over to Tazzy for the weeks leading up to Christmas before the festivities with the lovely Bailey Family, we had a bit of a shock when we learned it was $450 each way on the ferry! Damn summer prices! We had a bit of a think about what we should do, but having been told there was work on the Mornington Peninsula we headed on down here, armed with our CVs looking for a bit of summer work!

The area is really gorgeous, we have bought a whopping 6-man tent and now have heaps of room to move! The car has become a rather extravagant larder! Decided to set-up camp in Sorrento, a seaside resort for Melbourne's elite holiday makers! The houses here are insane $9million beach houses all about! We're camped about 10m from the seafront, and paying no more than $10 a night for the priviliage! Hot showers/free laundry and plug points! Its heaven...apart from a few hairy stormy nights this week we're loving our new home!

Great news, we have managed to get jobs! We now are cafe-waitresses/bottle shop attendees in a posh little store with seaviews! Its very plush, a box of mince pies costs $25!!!! Everyone we work with are really friendly and lovely and we had a great first shift on Saturday! :) Plus minimum wage here is over $15 which means we're getting paid about 10 pounds an hour before tax! So we can start to save for our future adventures!

Thats all folks! Tried to upload pics but no joy....defs next time!
Ciao!
