The Holiday (Copyright)

Day One (1)

At around 4 pm we went off to our destination - Lavers Hill. There were three teams for RBTs Amazing Race Season 1. Team Emo consisted of Mr C, Me (Patrick), Luke, Ash and our Emo Queen, Kirsten. Team Red Bull consisted of Miss MacCarthur, Stacey, Laura, Flynn and last and least Emily. Team Snow Patrol consisted of Mrs C, Debbie and Kat.

The first leg of the race was to drive up to Colac and find a place to eat. Team Emo came first, of course. Followed by Team Snow Patrol and finally Team Red Bull. In KFC, Ash kept having fits of laughter when she and Kirsten were coming on to each other whilst locals watched in disgust... lol...hilarious actually. Then we all cracked up laughing and nearly got kicked out of KFC.

Team Emo left KFC first, naturally, and fell upon Lavers Hill, winning the second leg. Team Red Bull followed, then it was Team Snow Patrol who came last. Everyone settled into the small cosy house where a memeber from Team Emo started an alliance from a member from Team Red Bull (Me [Pat] and Stace). We wanted to watch an ep of W&G but Luke argued that they were "gay"...obvioulsy...so we all argued about the tv and its channels. Ash then formed an alliance with Flynn, which made Kirsten angry because they shared a tight bond at Narracoorte. Later, the majority of us played a game of "Bulls**t", where Kat tried so hard to win, and did once!

Day Two (2)

We awoke to a cold cloudy morning. However, that did not stop us enjoying the day. On the third leg of the race, Team Snow Patrol raced to the Otway Fly. Team Emo came second, and Team Red Bull came third. The road block was for everyone to climb the steps to the top of the lookout. Team Snow Patrol lost, with Mrs C refusing to climb it. Team Red Bull also lost the roadblock as Miss McCarthur refusing also. After Team Emo's successful win, they enjoyed a burger at the local pub...as did the others. We then left for Warrnambool, where Team Emo one yet another leg! "HUZZUH!" they cheered.

We roamed around Flagstaff Hill where we played dress-ups. We then went our seperate ways with half watching Eragon at the local shitty Theatre, and others going to the Carnival...whilst Scott got lost in the maze. We then went back to Flagstaff Hill and watched the Sound & Light Show. We all enjoyed the first but the best was the Fish Opera. After the entertaining opera, we left for Lavers Hill. When the clock struck 12 am Kirstens alarm went off and wished me a Happy Birthday. I believe the word were "Oh, Pat, Happy Birthday...". Then the whole team sang me Happy Birthday, ahh fun! SMS messages poured in to my phone...then we went to sleep at Lavers Hill.

Day Three (3)

MY BIRTHDAY! Today was a "rest" day (or so Mrs C thought muahahahahahaha) where we went to visit the 12 Apostles. I was surprised with an excellent birthday present from my friends and teachers - it was a helicopter ride around the 12 Apostles. Kirsten and Stacey joined, and Mr and Mrs C went on another heli. After the scenic views of the 12 Apostles we went back to Lavers Hill and made dinner. Kirsten and I baked a cake and guess what?! NO ONE died...much to Mr Cs dismay. Later we left for Loch Ard Gorge where we watched 'The Tempest' and Ash fell in love with Sebastian.

After the show Ash and I yelled out 'SLIT MY WRISTS!!' where Luke, Kirsten and Mr C got scared. Some of us went to see glow worms at the local rain forest later at night. When we got home, Kirsten converted Ash, Luke and I to the dark side. This happened when there was a full moon! A group of us formed a slumber party in the lounge and watched Jerry Springer. Ash put tomoato sauce on Luke. Later karma struck her when Luke put a whole heap of it on her. They had a mini war until Luke let off an atomic bomb in Ash's face!

Day Four (4)

My weather forecast was right as the last day turned out to be a nice and sunny day. The last leg of the race was a race to the beach. Of course Team Emo won! Yes, that's right, we won the race! There we made more Emo pictures. Then we headed home, stopping at various places. Many questions were asked. The funniest was when Kirsten didn't know where we were. 'We're in Victoria, right?'

That was fun...leave your comments below as I have not added eveything that has happened. Others may also comment on their jealousy.

RBT said...

Ha! That's funny.

Actually I think he did a pretty good job, although I suspect some of the race results will get challenged...

PaTaRty said...

LoL yeah but do they get on the website and comment? No...no...NO! Which is fine by mean...ahh our trip in VICTORIA was fun. Yes kids, we were in VICTORIA. That's V-I-C-T-O-R-I-A...you know? Where we live? We didn't fly to Tasmania by car...or travel a further 200 km west to SA. Or more than 400km north of Melbourne.

Let's see if it works this time..

Well whaddaya know. Team Red Bull may not have been the fastest, but were certainly the classiest. No drawing on black eyes or throwing up in chip packets..

PaTaRty said...

HAHA well, well, well...that's all i got

RBT said...

Lol I have to admit Kirby wasn't anywhere near as geographically messed up as Ash on this trip. What where the two places she asked about? Swan Hill and Echuca?

RBT said...

were

PaTaRty said...

LoL very true...but didn't someone mix up Warrnambool with Wangaratta?? Hmmmmm...

Anonymous said...

Hey we weren't that far from Echuca and Swan Hill were we? Lol I have no idea..ask me anything about the world but I dunno where anything is in Vic. Not that Vic is such a big place..

RBT said...

Yes Stacey we were a loooooooong way from Echuca and Swan Hill. They are both on Victoria's northern border. We were on Victoria's southern edge.

RBT said...

By the way, have a look at all those photos of our trip on Flickr. Free ticket to whatever play we see next to the first person that can identify the very surprising thing that's missing from all of them...

PaTaRty said...

What do you mean by that, sir? Is it something, or someone?

PaTaRty said...

If it's a thing...is it happiness?

RBT said...

For those that haven't given up yet, it's definitely a thing.

Hint #1: The fact that Debbie was there makes it even more surprising that this thing wasn't.

kirsten said...

it isnt that weird pout thing that people seem to alwaiz do with their lips is it?

PaTaRty said...

Oh lip gloss...it's ALWAYS on girls lol

kirsten said...

debbie doesnt wear lipgloss

PaTaRty said...

A mirror then...

RBT said...

Hint #2: You're getting closer with the lips

kirsten said...

noone showd their teeth? lol

RBT said...

next hint at 9pm tonight

PaTaRty said...

No one wore lipsitck? And/or no one has white teeth! ha ha rofl...actually that's saaaaad :(

RBT said...

nope wrong again

RBT said...

Hint #3: (and SURELY someone is gonna get it after this...)

3 photos for you to consider:

PHOTO 1
and
PHOTO 2
almost have one, and you might even be fooled into thinking that
PHOTO 3
actually does have one, but it doesn't cos it's not the kind we're looking for...

RBT said...

next hint (if still needed) at about 9am tomorrow morning. Probably printed in raised letters on a brick so that it leaves a big red mark when you're whacked in the head with it, to make sure it's not too subtle...

kirsten said...

stage kissing?

PaTaRty said...

Please be more precise with the photos...which is photo 1, 2, and 3?

PaTaRty said...

yeah i'm going with stage-kissing...or real kissing! LoL...

RBT said...

Stage kissing it is. Kirby wins, free ticket to whatever play we see next. (I hear there's a $2 puppet show at the Dandenong youth centre these holidays)

PaTaRty said...

rofl...yeah she LOVES puppets...any clown in that show??

Anonymous said...

I can't believe I missed this whole thing. Ha. I should scroll down more often. IDIOT!

Lauz said...

Haha...note the post caughey wrote before this has 0 comments and this has 33 now? Thats because PATRICK wrote it.

RBT said...

Haha...note that LAURA CAN GET STUFFED

Anonymous said...

Yeah but if Caughey had written a full-length description of each day, and not just 'we're back, I had fun, discuss', there would have been just as many comments on his.

It's true.

PaTaRty said...

No, Stace, no. I am more interesting...and thank you Laura for pointing that out. 42 scott...42

Lauz said...

What do you mean by 42?

Just letting you guys know. I AM the popular one. My profile has been viewed 560 times. Next is Stace on 194. BIG GAP people.

RBT said...

Well I don't have your blog bookmarked, so a lot of those profile views are me finding the link. Not 560 though...

You need to update your blog by the way

Anonymous said...

Who cares who's got more profile views? It doesn't mean anything in the real world..

PaTaRty said...

OUSH! Laura that's gotta hurt! WOW! 40 comments...that's how many degrees it was here a while ago...well it was 41C but eh...

Lauz said...

Pat-> Now i get the 42.

Stace-> Your just upset cause you're not coming first. You just got Redback Served. (i watched South Park - You got F'd in the A today. Funny episode..."yeah. We just got goth served")

Caughey-> well maybe you should bookmark my blog. I have UPDATED it. Maybe you should spend less time talking about how you have to click the link here to get to my blog and actually LOOK at my blog.

That is all...

Actually
KIRRBY+LAURA= SAFEWAY CHICKS...well until Kirrby leaves anyway...

Lauz said...

Im surprised Emily hasnt commented on her intro into Team Snow Patrol. Then again she doesnt check this blog that i lovingly made.

I just thought.... if i hadnt have suggested a blog..we might not have this or flickr or anything! OMG... imagine that. No Yellbox or Pacman..!

RBT said...

lauz -> are you sure you get the 42? It's not the answer that matters, its the question

lauz -> I keep forgetting to bookmark it

lauz -> I know that you've updated it NOW. But when I wrote that comment, you hadn't.

lauz -> congratulations on the new job.

kirsten said...

Lauz said...

Pat-> I AM HOPEFULLY GOING TO WORK FOR SAFEWAY. I find out in the next couple of days.

PaTaRty said...

Laura -> Oh cool! Though, why Safeway? You're better than that...so is Kiki. Try out a clothes shop, you get paid more there. However, if you like to work there, then go for it...I'm staying in the city for now! LoL...hmmm...don't know if a "LoL" was needed but eh...LoL
