I started writing a blog for Melbourne a few days ago and the computer didnt save it:( so we go again!
We arrived in Melbourne on Saturday 30th November after a 12 hr bus journay from Sydney. We left Sydney on the friday night where it had been torential rain most the day and arried to Melbourne which was gloomy and not very warm...fantastic! Once off the coach we went to find our hostel. lets just say it took us 2 hrs to find the place! was not feeling in the best of moods as 2hrs walking would have been fine, yet we had those bags on our bags!!! guess we should thank our lucky stars that it wasnt really hot or raining! We arrived at our hostel to find that it was actually a pub and where we stayed was above it. Oh and it was in the middle of nowwhere, well thats how it felt. We got given free breakfast, toast and cereals and then waited around for a good few hrs till able to get into our room. In that time we went on a walk about and found a lake where people were training for rowing and loads of people were doing fitness classes on the grass or running around the lake.
We made our way back to the hostel its called Pint on Punt by the way,dropped our bags off, we were surpried that we were in a four bed dorm as i swear he told us private, but the mystery of our roommates never showed until the following day!
Sunday we went on the Neighbours ultimate tour where we got to look around the street, which was tiny, the cameras make it appear a lot bigger than what it is and then we went to the set this again was really but a good day out, plus the weather was nicer. We then got taken to St Kilda beach to meet Janelle Timmons, who is really nice. We stuck around the beach as there was a market on and was nice to see a beach.
Monday evening we went to tbe neighbours night wwhich was a laugh, we were on a table with 6 other girls...adam only lad hehe. not that he complained. waiting around for 2 hrs the cast finally showed we met irish Connor, steve Parker whose pretty nice in real life:) and Janelle again. there was quizzes and games to play then later in the evening Paul Robinson performed with Dr Karls band, it was hilarious but hes actually really good. Very small he ran past me and i was shocked at how tiny he was, must have been about 5ft 7" or so.
Tuesday we moved from our 4 bed dorm to a 6 bed, we are sharing with a canadian Brother and sister Marielle and Zach who are lovely and a couple from york rachel and Phil. we were up playing cards with them last night (wednesday 3rd) learnt a game called spoons which is hilarious and will definately be worth a go when back. specially if u drink too!!
Oh i didnt mention the other dorm we were in was with two other lads one from Ireland and one from Germany. I personally felt intimidated as i was the only girl, Adam said i should just think of him as one lol.
Melbourne itself is really nice again if u like shopping u will love it, we went to the botanical gardens recently and were amazed at how big and beautiful it was.
We are at St Kilda today 4h December and plan to go back to sydney tomorrow evening so unsure what the plan is for this evening and tomorrow.
all for now xxxxx
just thought we'd share somehing that was pretty funny with you, yesterday at the beach we saw our first arrest. A drunken man was wondering in the sea up and down the beach with a bottle that we reckon cud be anything from vodka to whisky. he was shouting at people, one at a couple with a dog he said words like "dont bring your f**kin dog near me" the police appeared and were watching him for ages think he stayed in the sea cause the police couldnt get him (i felt like i was in home and away and the police woman looked like one in the show) next thing we knew a police boat appeared right in front of us, was so funny they said "Oi stupid u gonna come out of the water or am i gonna have to come in and get you!" or words like that. The drunken man got pushed to the grown and handcuffed. was so funny and definately made our day.
We are now waiting around in melbourne before we get a bus at 8pm back too Sydney where we shall be spending 2 weeks around beaches:) oh and doing the bridge climb at some stage.
Speak soon xxxxx
