Well its 9.00pm here on the other side of the world so it must be 10.00am thanks to all the clocks changing - when u went back an hour, I went forward an hour!
Yesterday we went to Mornington the little coastal town, Ive downloaded some pics but they're not too great cos the weather was rubbish and then my batteries died anyway!! It was freezing yesterday - feels like I'm still at home!! It even SNOWED in Melbourne yesterday at one point - I thought Oz was hot n sunny!?! We are going to go back to Mornington at some point when the weather is better (given out high 20's for this week) cos the views will be amazing and we might even see dolphins!
Last nite Paul & Michelle took me to their local RSL club - Dad would have loved it, screens showing all the footy and racing - and they were bloomin huge screens!
Today we have been into Melbourne City - it is an amazing place and such a beautiful city. Theres so much everywhere and its not like London or any other UK City, everythings just slow and laidback and light! There was an arts festival on as well so there were extra bits on in the centre but apparently whenever u go there's always something on! And as we were casually strolling through Federation Square I was glancing my eyes over everything and looked over at the food places and thought oh theres Boyd and carried on walking and then stopped and thought - Its Boyd!! Yes, Boyd, Janea and Stingray from Neighbours were sitting within metres of me sipping coffee - Boyd looked straight at me too!! I didnt rush over for any autographs or anything cos it didnt really seem appropriate - no-one else noticed (or cared) they were there! But yeah dead chuffed to see them on my first trip to the City - sorry I didnt get a pic Carla! We mainly went in so I could suss out a hostel to stay at before I start my Oz Experience tour and so it'd be easier for me to explore the City instead of travelling to it. The first hostel we went into - oh my - I could have cried (one girl there actually was crying!), it really was the pitz! The next two were much nicer and friendlier and I probly will stay in one of them once I work out when Im gunna go. We also looked at one that is above a pub - we struggled to climb the nearly vertical stairs - no way am I gunna do that with a backpack! Cant wait to get back to Melbourne and go exploring again or just laze by the river in the sun! We walked round some of the shops - theres so many of them, and every type of food place too, we walked down the Yarra River and then popped into the Casino - big money being spent / lost / won in there thats for sure (not mine!) Theres so much to see and do there it really was amazing. I'm going to try and book my oz experience for towards end of Nov and then maybe get a week or two in Melboure City before I go!
Hope all is well back home xx
