summer in the city

It's nice to be in a country where their is a proper summer - I mean apart from the devastating lack of water that these dry hot conditions can cause day in day out, it's nice to be able to go to the beach and have a swim almost on a whim. Asia is working in a French patisserie in Port Melbourne about 5 mins walk from the Port Melbourne beach. Despite how it might sound, a port and all, it's actually a very nice beach. During the crazy hot weather we have been having recently we have been heading down to the beach after work and taking a quick dip before heading home. The nice thing about Port Phillip Bay, and Melbourne in general really is that it is on the south coast so the water is always 'fresh' even in the middle of summer and fantastic to cool off in on a really hot day.
