Day 77 (Monday 1st January 2007) New Year's Day
Alarm went off at 06:45 (that's 2 hours 45-minutes sleep for Sarah then) and we snuck out of our dorm room and headed for the bourne of Mel.
We arrived in the windy city about 3-hours later and winded at Melbourne Zoo (www.zoo.org.au) before shortly before 10:00. We strolled around the third oldest zoo in the world until 16:00ish, seeing great stuff like orangutans, roaring lions, that illusive platypus and Melbourne Zoo's very own Blob and Jake!
For the next couple of hours we tediously drove round and round Melbourne CBD...5-minutes trying to find our hostel and 115-minutes trying to find somewhere to park!! It was disgusting and before long we had an almighty bust-up before finally checking into the Flinders Station Hotel (www.flindersbackpackers.com.au). Marc was so fuming by this stage that he told the receptionist to stick our extra night in this poxy city!!
Completely exhausted from our hectic day (and missing quite a bit of sleep the night before), we were in bed and asleep by 20:00...arrrr!
