Hey Guys!!
Here is the third entry from Down Under!!!
From Sydney me, Rachie, Katy and Tina headed on a road trip to the Blue Mountains. The Blue Mountains were really nice. We saw the 'Three Sisters' (Three Rocks on the side of a mountain) and we visted Wentworth Falls. It was a really nice chilled day lots of fun. Oh and of course we just had to give the ice cream man at Wentworth falls some business...Mmmm...Yummy!!! Obviously guys It would have been rude not to...hehe
From the Blue Mountains we had to say goodbye to Tina (Bottom Lip :-() as she needed to head back to Sydney and Me, Rachie and Katy continued our road trip down to Melbourne!! We stopped the night at a motel in a real Australian town ( Forgotten the name!!) and for one night it was luxury...Yay!! When we entered the room we were like " Wahoo a TV, a fridge and our own bathroom!!" Bearing in mind guys this wasn't the nicest of motels, but after five months of hostels, the place was heaven.. Ahh Bliss!!!
Melbourne is a really nice city, it reminds me of London. The buildings are really 'arty' the place has a homogenised feel to it, the city's make up consists of the old and the new and the city is famous for it's tram system which we took a ride on.
When we were in Melbourne, we went to the Neighbours Backpacker Night. This was probably the most weird but fantastic night out ever!!! We met Sky, Dylan and Ahhh The lovely Ned!!! It was really funny because when Ned came over to our table to chat, I got really star struck and tong tied when he chatted to me. Rachie got really excited when he asked if we watched Neighbours and said "I DO, I DO" and started jumping up and down...It was so funny. So guys, there's me star struck, Rachie jumping up and down and Katy the legend played it really cool and managed to have a good conversation with him. I think me and Rachie were in awe of katy and her ability to actually have a decent convo with him......It was soooo funny though:-)! Anyway, Dylan was really cool and chatted quite a bit and Sky well....because her music career is taking off...she was hurried on quite quickly by her bouncer during the night. I suppose she is the most famous now....During the night there was also a quiz which was a good laugh and after the stars left us (Sob:-( ) the night turned into a cheesy disco which was alot of fun :-)
We also went to the Neighbours Day tour. This was great fun to. I can't believe I have actually been to Ramsey street. The first stop on the Tour was to Erinsborough High school. Me, Rachie and Katy had our pictures taken by the sign. The next stop on the tour was to meet a 'star' from the show. We met Janelle, she was really nice. I felt for her though, as she kept smiling even though she had to sign about loadz and I mean loadz of autographs and smile for lots of cameras. There was this really annoying girl on our tour (I Know.....there's always one on everytour isn't there) who, when Janelle came out to see us, asked her where Harold was because she wanted her pic with him!!! I mean you just don't say that do you. Some people eh?!!
From meeting Janelle, we then went to the main attraction.....Ramsey Street. It was really strange to see a security guard parked along side one of the houses. Apparently, two backpackers were caught having ' Rudies' on the front lawn of Harold's and so a securty guard now montitors the street...Ooops....Backpackers eh!!! Me, Rachie and Katy then took pics of all the houses. It is really weird to think that 'normal' people actually live in these houses. It was really weird to see a young lad come out of one of the houses in his 'K Mart' Uniform....it sort of remined you that Neighbours is not real....hehe :-)
From Melbourne, well guys here's the story..... we were supposed to do a day trip to see the Great Ocean Road but me and Rachie had a bit of a moment (I blame our blond hair...hehe) and missed our trip!!! We were at the wrong meeting point!! Well, i have to say, that it wasn't totally our fault as when Rach rang the tour company, the tour operator told us to wait where we were and that a bus would soon come and pick us up. Well....this didn't happen and we eneded up missing our trip (Sob :-( ) Luckily, the guy at our hostel managed to book us onto another trip to Philip Island for that same day, so we got to see Philip Island and see the Penguins but we missed out on the great Ocaen Road...Ooops!!!
Well That's about it from me. I'm in Perth now
Miss you all guys
Love Joeyxxxxxxxxx
