So my computer broke down, which is perfect because now I have nowhere to make notes for the patients. Honestly, I don't know when I have spent less time on computer than here, but when I need it, I really need it. So that sucks and I am still figuring out what to do.

But anyway, the weekend has been fabulous! Perfect weather and I wish I could freeze the moments. On Saturday we have planned to go to a Hanging Rock. It is an old volcano and you can "hike" your way to the top. However, I wouldn't actually call it a hike since it took us a bit more than 30 min (we hiked quite fast though). And the thing that I like about it is that it is not a boring hike, instead you actually need to find your way up between the rocks and its quite fascinating.



There is also a really cool story regarding Hanging Rock. The book was written and also a movie was made about girls who got lost on between the rocks and they never found any trace of them. Now if that story is true, is still (I think) not known, but it makes the place more mistique for sure.

After the hike we did BBQ, as any true Aussie would do. The thing I really like about Australia is that there are many public places where you can use BBQ for free. You just have to clean after yourself, but people here don't have any problem doing that. Afterwards, they usually chill in the park and play some footy - which is what we did.

The weather was also perfect - cloudless and 21 degrees - not too hot but still warm enough for shorts and chilling outside. It's crazy how sometimes it can be 20 and really warm and sometimes I am cold at 21 because it's so windy. I started to like Melbourne, but I think I will never completely be at peace with the weather.

On Sunday we had an amazing weather with 30 degrees. And I did absolutely nothing. Me and my friend spent the day outside, talking, reading, swimming and eating. If everyday was like that, I wouldn't complain about living here.
