ROAD TRIP!!!!! Katrine and I got ourselves up, organised, and out the door by 10am this morning to go on a 6 hour drive. While singing the glee soundtrack we drove from Melbourne to Young, a small town in country New South Wales, where her parents live. 4 hours into our drive we stopped in Holbrook, NSW for lunch. They have fantastic burgers. They also have the hull of the NMS Otway. A world war I submarine. You may be wondering why a town of 1,200 people located over 100km inland has the hull of a submarine and a submarine museum. I am wondering the same thing but I have half an answer for you after discussing it over dinner. The town got its name from a submarine captain in World War I. Not the captain of the Otway but of a different ship. They have a 1/15 replica of this ship in the town. When the Otway was decomitioned half of the hull was gifted to the city(because they like submarines??) so the city through a generious donation by Captain Holbrook's wife bought the remainder of the hull.

We got to Kat's parent's around 5 and had a swim before dinner. I did a bit of business homework. Then we had fantastic home cooked food and apple cake. After dinner we watched the Hobbit and I fell asleep before finishing my homework.
