Since we don't have internet, I couldn't look up the number to call NAB to block my card, but I saw Thibault at the train station who looked it up on his phone. I thought it was a very good service that you could put a temporary block on your card, and then if you found it you could instantly unblock the card- I'm not sure if they do it in England, but they should introduce it if not as sometimes you don't want to block it in case you just left it somewhere it ca...

I went to find Caulfield North post office, where I successfully managed to collect my pedometer. I'm quite pleased with the website I ordered it from, as they included some extra bits and pieces like a strap to attach it to, a bag to put it in and a guide on how to use it, with space to record how many steps you have done.

I woke up at 5 am today so that I had plenty of time to get to Base backpackers in St Kilda for 6.55. I went to get a coffee, and then by the time I got back the bus was there.

I tried to do some washing but the was...

Sitting around yesterday waiting to move in made me really anxious to do something today, so I made my way into town, not really sure what I was going to do, until I decided to do another of the walks from the tourist information centre. I hadn't got the leaflet on me, so went to Flinder's Square to pick another one up. This one was an 'arcades and lanes' walk, and it took me up lots of cool streets with interesting looking cafes. They were very narrow and some o...
