Loving Work

This is the cafe/restaurant where I work, La Bimba, on the top floor.  The road in front of the building is the Great Ocean Road.


And yeah sure, maybe I'm there sometimes for 11 hours a day but with a view like this I really can't complain...  plus they're paying me quite handsomely for my efforts.


  I actually really enjoy my days at work, I get to spend time with a funny group of characters that I now call friends and talk with people from around the world and master the art of the latte and when it gets busy the time flies by and before I know it I'm back on my front porch with my housemates drinking a glass of Australian wine under a different set of stars.

Where I Live


Here is a picture from Mariner's Lookout, a spot above Apollo Bay that allows one to see the entirety of the town.  It is small, friendly, and beautiful.  We're now even getting 2-3 sunny days for every 5 that it rains and  this mythical entity called the summer is looking more and more likely to arrive.


Here is where I live, with a beautiful view of Marengo beach (the beach in the distance).  As the weather gets better the tourists are beginning to flock in and the hours of work are increasing, which is perfect for me because the entire plan here is to save money and Apollo Bay is an ideal place to carry out such a plan because there is not a whole lot to do aside from simply enjoy the surroundings, which after living in a large city in Southeast Asia, is really all I want to do.
