Moomba waterfestival

I think my biggest problem down here is that I can`t sleep enough. I go to bed around 3ish every day, and somehow I don`t manage to sleep longer then 8.30 the longest.. In my house its really easy to hear the others that lives here, specially when they take a shower as my room is next to the bathroom - and that doesn`t exactly help.
So on saturday me and Marie left early to CBD to have something to do, after having quite a heavy night out the day before at the 80s party. Marie bought some very nice ballerina shoes - and I managed to use some money as well ofc ;) Walking along Southbank I saw black swans, never seen that before. And as you can see - the yarra river is just as delicate as Thames in London - You won`t see me go for a swim there - yuck!

Erlend had been telling me earlier that it was a waterfestival at the Yarra river going on that weekend, so we decided to check it out. Was pretty cool, first we watched a waterski jump competition - think the longest jump was 64.9 meters! Then we just walked around and looked at all the things - were a scene with different bands playing - some beachvolley going on etc. Met up with Tim later to have some food before a watershow - Also met Tomas and his Uncle (I think) who also was from Colombia, and only over here for a few days to build relationsships with the Unis here - talk about a long travel!

The watershow was really good - down here its not that much about speed, its more elegant - almost like watching ballet!
The day ended with an Ok fireworks where I think I tried to take more then 100 pics from - and ended up with like 1 pic that was doable. I suck :S
Afterwards we went to PJ, met up with more people for a few drinks before we went home early to get some sleep. Then I had been in CBD for more then 12 hours, and really felt like going home!
