Metung Getaway – Day 1

October 26th, 2009

Let me paint the scene for you… Kelvin and I were chatting about fishing (as we do) at Rick and Linda’s BBQ a few weeks ago and we start toying with the idea of going away for a full weekend of fishing. A few weeks later, with Vicky and Wong turning it into a girls weekend as well great planning and leadership skills, we were set to go fishing in Metung!

We were to leaving Friday evening immediately after work. Wong and I received this email from Vicky ensuring a speedy and efficient departure:

As you can see, she is a time Nazi very well organised

So anyway, Wong, Katherine and I gave hell to anyone who stood in the way of getting to Vicky’s parents on time! (we actually got there at 5:15pm on the dot!)

But…

No Vicky…
No Kelvin…
No silver Merc…
WHERE ARE THEY??!

At 5:45pm, they arrive and before we could ask why they were late, Vicky was already pointing at Kelvin with a “blame him” look!
I felt sorry for Kelvin. I could only imagine the hammering he would have got from Vicks!

We soon forgot all of that, and we were on our merry way to Metung (280km drive from the South-Eastern Melbourne suburbs)

Thanks to Heng lending us his walkie-talkies, having the two cars in constant communication made the trip so much faster and kept the drivers’ eyes open.

We got to our cabins at around 11pm. See the pic below? What are Katherine, Aunty and Uncle Pang doing??

Well Kelvin and I were so eager to go fishing immediately that I had forgotten my orders from the Commander In Chief my hunny. Wong wanted me to shred the roasted chickens for the wraps that she was to prepare for the next day. As I was prepping my rig, Wong taps me on the shoulder and then points to the 3 people hard at work shredding the chicken. Before I could offer any help, they were pretty much done. All I can say is SORRY and THANK YOU!

Katherine, Aunty, and Uncle decided to stay back and wait for the others to arrive (Quinn, Allan, Linda, Rick, Guaran and Chai)

Kelvin, Vicky, Wong and I returned a few hours later from the marina with fish! The score was Kelvin – 2, Vicky – 1, me – 1, Wongie – 0.
It was weird because usually it’s Wong who always catches the first and the most… But she’s always happy as long as someone catches something
