Hey everyone. As you can see i have put some more photos up and they are all neighbours related. Most of what i've done since i last posted on this site has been to do with that stupid programme but its been good fun.
Starting from where i left off, we were quite knackered after the cricket so didn't do much sat. We went out in the evening for Rorys last night but again were knackered so didn't have a heavy one or anything. On sunday i had to get up early to see Rory off and can't really remeber what i did with the rest of my day.
On monday Gary and Krystle arrived having finished their Kangaroo killing spree (they hit one with their rental car!) and we went to the neighbours night at the elephant and wheelbarrow pub. Here we got to meet actors (i use that term loosely) from the show including Steph, Fraser and Garys surrogate father Harold Bishop! We also got to see Dr Karl Kennedys band which was a good laugh when they came out and opened with Foo Fighters 'Best Of You'!
On friday me, gary and sal went to the open air cinema to see The Prestige which was really good. The filom itself was good and when inside the grounds of the open air cinema we were treated like royalty and given free chocolate and a free paper. They also had a posh bar in there and i had some really nice fish and chips. The only problem was the seats were a bit small and close together. It was quite cool watching a film outside. I was engrossed in the film then a bat flew past and i suddenly remembered i was outside. We also went to the cinema sat night and saw Ghost Rider. It was pretty ridiculous but entertaining.
Other than that i didn't do much last week except for go to the beach and go out drinking a couple of nights. I really like St Kilda which is the suburb of melbourne we're staying in. Its right by the beach and the main street is just a row of restaurants and bars and its a good atmosphere. I also like the hostel we're staying at coz again it has a really good atmosphere. However i'm not sure about the main city itself. Its a bit spread out and theres not a lot to do.
This monday me, gary, and jammo went for a round of golf. It was good fun but i played rubbish and went round in 126. Gary won going round in 111. We also got sun burnt coz stupidly i saw that it was cloudy and decided not to take sun tan lotion. Then on about the 4th hole the sun burst through and did its damage. We then went out for a couple of quiet drinks and a game of pool. However, as usual the quiet beers ended in a drinking session and about 20 games of pool against some random people. The rest of the night is then blurry but apparently i fell asleep with my head on a table in the communal area of our hostel! All good fun!
Feeling pretty rough on tues so don't do a lot until the evening when we go to La Roche for cheap pizza night. Then got an early night after being told that i have to be up and ready to be picked up at 8.20 today for the neighbours tour. I don't even like neighbours! The tour itself is actually quite fun. We go see Erinsborough High School which is actually called Blackburn School of English Language and is full of foreign kids who don't really speak english and have no idea what Neighbours is! We then go to the backlot of the studio and see a couple of sets like the garage but nothing good. We then go to Ramsey St itself which is actually called Pin Oak Court and only has 6 houses down it. Its tiny! We then go back to St Kilda and meet up with Dr Karl Kennedy himself. He made fun of my sun burn. Some doctor!
Anyway, tomorrow we will be picking up two rental cars and me, gary, jammo, sal and leah will be driving along the Great Ocean Road to Adelaide which should be cool.
