Noumea
back from my trip to noumea. had a wonderful time. absolutely gorgeous beaches and sights. some cute french and melanseian guys. maybe it was the accent.....but anyway. had a terrific time. took the tourist train around the city and bay to the zoo. went to a tropical island for a day tour and managed to get pulled up to dance in a grass skirt. Climbed the stairs of a lighthouse a sheet 247 steps in total and was totally exhausted and amazed by the view all at once. went for a swim in one of the most beautiful beaches i have ever seen. Managed to get stung by a jelly fish on the big toe i think or maybe it was coral....still trying to figure that out. Also had one of the largest alcoholic cocktails i have ever seen. saw the sunset, walked til my feet were about to drop off. Saw a marathon/triathlon, Souvenir shopping, ate out at some very beautiful spots. Got lost on buses. Slept, relaxed and generally had a great time. Am glad to be home again, but yeah. It was amazing. My 27th birthday as well, seems old when i say it. Can hardly believe I am fast approaching 30 and....we wont go there now, but yeah am feeling old and slightly feel cheated that i have missed a few 20 something experiences other people my age have had. Almost like i have had to grow up too soon. Maybe that is a little silly, but it's how i feel. Just got back last night. Am surprisingly tired as I had to get a tram into the city to go grocery shopping after work tonight. I have also had washing to do and needed to unpack.
Have a few outings this weekend. Seeing (L) on Thursday and (K) on Saturday. I also have a birthday that I have been invited to on Saturday, so we will see. I am early to work this morning. Managed to stay up until 1am last night though so am a little sleepy. Oh well. Still feels good being back. I am much more refreshed.....
Got my 6 month review yesterday as well. Seems ok. Nothing special, but I am plodding along ok by the looks of things as long as my stats stay at the expected levels.
Anyways, that is about it from me. Feels like a while since i wrote last....
