Hi everyone, we are in melbourne now which is nice, have just moved to a new hostel, which is really nice!!! Anyway since our last blog we have done lots! Been on an elephant trek on our last day in Thailand...which was amazing and the highlight of the trip so far, our elephant was called lucy!! The flight over was good, but then sydney airport is so strict we missed our connecting flight to melbourne which was annoying but luckily we got the next flight. Since we've been in melbourne we went to the beach as the weather was very nice and we did plan to go to the cricket the next day but it was raining!! So just headed into the city instead. Today we went into the city again and went to the observation deck which had amazing views of the city. We also went to the aquarium which was very good. Tomorrow we are going to do the neighbours tour!! We have also been out a couple of times and although our last hostel wasn't that nice there were some cool people there who we went out with. We are heading to sydney on sat where hopefully the weather will be a bit better...its not to bad here but hopefully sydney will be nice and hot!! Although when we flew in it was raining..but apparantly that was the first time it had rained for ages and the good weather was meant to return.

lots of love laura and sam
