Well hello again
It took us three and a half hours to drive to canberra. Once we got there we visited the houses of parliment. The highlight of this trip was steve and abi doing cartwheels on the roof and the security guard coming over to laugh at us! We then went to the war memorial museum, which had things from all the wars in which aussies have fought in. This was really good and well worth a visit. Canberra was really nice and had a great vibe to it although apparently it has a massive drug and porn industry. Which unfortunately we didnt get to see.....too much time in bloody museums!!!
The next day we had a mamouth 13hour drive around the coast to melbourne. Didnt get lost until we reached melbourne. This place is one huge maze!!! The first two days were raining and cold.....drove to bells beach and had to turn back because of the thunderstorms. The following day Faye and abi went to a winery and sampled all on offer!! Also went to wildlife park full of ozzy animals and headed out to phillip island to watch the 2000 penguins come in at dusk. Jess and steve took the car back and explored victoria market and the city then had a night in a posh hotel, while faye and abi wre freezing on phillip island! Hee hee.
The next day we did the neighbours tour and met libby!!! (of course you ALL remember libby). WE went on Ramsey st and Erinsbourgh High. The street was tiny and has is a real st otherwise known as pine oak drive! The next day we hired roller blades. WE were fully kitted out with knee, elbow and wrist guards, blading down by St Kilda Beach. Steve was like bambi on ice annd faye has a massive bruise on her arse...enough said!!
Went to St Kilda beach yesterday cos it was boiling...but got annoyed with all the flies.....there are soooooo many here and they dont leave you alone! We are sorry to say that abi has left our party and returned to sydney to see her sister. We are hiring another car and driving along the great ocean road tomorrow. Our biggest triumph in melbourne besides breaking no bones whilst roller blading has been managing to get away with not paying for a single tram ride....you can take the girls out of wrexham!!!
Lots of love faye and jess xx (and the two jones's)
