Hey guys,

well here we are finally in australia the place we both looked forward too the most :)
Melbourne has been awesome we have both loved it. we arrived on the 19th od Oct and stayed till the 27th so a good week. We stayed at hotel discovery it was ok, we got free brekfast and had a right noisey bunch off people next door but i guess we have to accept it might happen alot.
We did a lot of sight seeing and touring the city, its beautiful and the architecture is between victorian and 21st century contempory. Very stunning.
We went to our local market, the largest well know market in Melbourne 'Victoria market' pretty much everyday to get veg and fruit it was so cheap and of good quality, we were in our element :)
We had many days of chilling in the sun on grass watching a very active city of peeopl who love to run, cycle, jog walk you name it you seem it here.
We speant one or two days down St Kilda a beach well known with back packers, it was heaving. The main street of st kilda was mainly bars cafes, and cake shops, lucy loved this!!!!!
We have also been on the neighbours tour which was amazing, Shout out to abby as i know she envys me right now haha!
We also hired a car on the 24 oct (sun) till tuesday morn as we decided we should do the great oacen road!!! This was stunning, google it and you will realise how it is one of the most popular well known drives in the world, following the south west coast towards Adelaide. We saw all the famous stops and senic points, including places, we saw the 12 Apostles, Lock ard Gorge, and the famous light house which stared in Oliver Twist!!!! beautiful. We also drove through a holiday resort/housing esstate which was surrounded by Koalas sleeping high in the trees, we managed to get a few piccys! they were so cute.

We stayed over night in a place called port Campbell, it was lovely, the next morning i have a bigger breakfast it was lovely!!!!
We arrived back into Melbourne after a few stops in beach towns, good old lucy driving the whole way, her driving towards then though, jeeeeze!!!!
We headed for st kilda, as we had been told that penguins were spotted on the jetty after sun set. These cuite little penguins wernt that cute, but still close up babies waitng for parents to come home to feed them, was an awesome sight :)

We left the next day to catch an over night bus to sydney, which turned out to be awfull :( whilst i was sleeping someone stole all my valuables out of my bag including, camera, ipod, bank cards, mobile, and passport. so the past few days of arrivingin sydney havent been so good for me, ive been endless stressing and feeling worried and having to deal with paying for a new passport, getting bank cards sorted tc, just not what you want :( but no point in dewelling on the fact i have lost everything, i just need to get sorted with a new passport and be on my way again.

Today certainly cheered e up! Randomly ended up sitting on the back of a harley davison riding through sydney in a wedding dress, along with 40 others who also did the same, was to promote a new film which is being released in sydney soon, was awesome loved every min and really needed something like that to make me feel better, thanks to Luc :)

Were staying with our mate Mitch who we met in New Zealand, hes an awesome guy, and his mum is looking after us really well :) had a really hot bubble bath and going to watch a film with Luc now cant wait to chill out!!!!
We leave Sydney on saturday to head to Surf camp, where we get a free surf lesson, should be interesting.

hope everyone is well, hope to hear from you soon

Love Lisa xxxxxxxxx
