On Day 36 as it was raining again, much to my annoyance I thought of doing something that would help me not to get wet and keep me indoors so as I had a discount voucher I headed to the Melbourne Aquarium, which was a great way to enjoy such a miserable day. In the aquarium they had 12 zones that covered all the thousands of different species of water creatures they had there, it was a very well laid out place that let people hold a starfish (which by the way fee...

Day 33 was a nice chilled out day at Jim & Miranda's sorting through my photos and watching an extremely dismal effort at cricket by England who for the third time I think were all out for under 200 again, but that was due to the immense bowling of on form Mitchell Johnson who ended up taking 7 wickets for 40 runs, not a bad tally.
