my really good week ended with an even better weekend! with no plans in the diary and a new found, or perhaps rediscovered, desire to make the most of staff travel, i decided to visit my bestie kahli in townsville. i also had friday off work as i worked ekka wednesday so was able to fly up that afternoon to really make the most of it. as a result, i think i've fallen a little bit in love with townsville. i haven't felt as relaxed or as happy in a long time. maybe it was being around my oldest and dearest friend, or maybe it was the warm weather, palm trees and ocean views. or both! i had a lovely time just hanging out as friends do. we ate in, ate out, slept in, walked along the strand, lay by the pool, read, had a swim, went to the cultural festival across the road, almost had our fortunes told, shopped, laughed, sipped vodka, lemonade and lime on the balcony, were entertained by alex's school friend, instagrammed, talked, painted nails, watched telly, were waited on by alex and much more. kahli's place is simply gorgeous and makes you feel like you're on holidays the moment you step inside. i had my own room with turquoise sheets and fresh flowers by my bedside. (i will share some pictures of her abode soon!) so all in all, and despite having a bad head cold for most of my visit, i had a blast. i can't wait to go back, this time with my other bestie naomi. i am already looking forward to exploring more of townsville, climbing the big mountain that sits behind it, trying some more restaurants, bars and cafes and of course visiting the beautiful magnetic island for some fun in the sun. i think the next time i feel a bit down, i'll simply book a flight to north queensland, my new happy place!
