This wintery weather is starting to be a pain…. I wanna be outside on the beach in my speedos!!!

I do have some travel on the horizon, looks like I’ll be heading down to the Snowy Mountains (yes we have mountains and snow and ski/snowboard resorts here in Australia – Perisher has 51 lifts!!!!).  Alex’s family have a share in an old ski club down there and he is organizing a trip in August.  His girlfriend and Surfer Chick will be there (if she is still hanging out with me) so that could be fun.  I don’t think we’ll quite have the privacy that I get in Kip’s hottub but I’m looking forward to dusting off the snowboard.

On the topic of travel though, I have been thinking what I can do to avoid this Aussie winter, it is just mean having a beautiful beach but it being too cold to enjoy it.  The US doesn’t seem very speedo friendly if I wanted to spend a northern summer there.  A friend of mine has mentioned Spain because it is cheap and I think it would be pretty speedo friendly.  Keen to hear any ideas.

Brazil shares the same summer as Aussie which kind of rules it out but I was wondering if speedos are popular down there?  The famous beach in the pics below is Copacabana right?  I’m assuming it is pretty touristy (like Bondi which I think kinda sucks – there are way better beaches up here), so are there lots of speedos or more tourists in dork shorts?
