Chan & Dan's Travels
Hello,
We are in Melbourne which is a nice surprise after deciding we weren't coming here! Our housemate Anna is from Melbourne and was coming home for the weekend so we decided to cheekily (spelling??!!) get a lift with her in her nice 4x4! Which in caseb you were wondering is a 12 hour drive!!! We left Sydney at 5:30am on Saturday morning!!! Got here at 6pm! Good drive though, all on one road you get to see some nice scenery. It's a good weekend to come as as you all know it is the Commonwealth Games which is good as there is a great atmosphere (although trams and buses are a little messed up due to all the road closures!!).
Melbourne is a really great city..very different from Sydney. We have been in Australia nearly four months now so feel like we know the country well then you come somewhere else and realise how different the different cities are! We are staying in a 'Base' hostel in St Kilda Beach which is really nice (used to be a really run down area, but it is v.cosmopolitan now!), we have just found out that it is rated the second best hostel in the world! It's very new and modern so that's good. It is full because of the games which is a little annoying as we are in an 8 bed dorm! One of the guys in our dorms girlfriend is running the 400m for England on Wednesday so we'll have to watch out for that!
Went out last night which was really nice then went into the city today and checked out Fitzroy St. By far the most exciting thing we are doing is the Neighbours Tour which we are doing tomorrow! You get to see the street and everything. After that we are going to the 'Meet The Stars Night'!!!!!!!! Where we will be 'hanging'with the likes of Lynn Scully, Toadfish Rebecci and wait for it...Dr Karl Kennedy!!!! Which we cannot wait! Will be great! Will take lots of pictures and put them on later in the week!
OK well we hope that you are all well and the weather is picking up for you guys! It's very cold in Melbourne 24 C so I guess it should be spring for you lot soon!
Lots of Love Chan & Dan xxxxxxxx
