Day 131- We were up really early to leave for the airport. We headed along to the free tram to find it didn't start running till 9am and without a travel card we couldn't use the rest. Luckily we had gave ourselves plenty of time as it took us an hour to walk to the airport shuttle stop- we were wrecked. The purpose built road that takes you to Melbourne airport has a special government law over it allowing no public bus, tram or train to take people to and fro...

Day 124- We woke up in a better mood than when we went to sleep and were excited for the city we had heard such good things about. We had to check out and back in, this time to a mixed 4 bed dorm- they clearly sold one of our beds to somebody else.

We were dropped off at Central Station and had to find our hostel, it was only a 10 minute walk and we knew the address but we didn't ...

Day 106- We woke up and talked to Josh and his flatmate Lauren for a while, she was also lovely. Josh was going for drinks with some work friends and we decided to do a bit of xmas shopping. Our lovely parents had got in took with us separably Lloyd's mam got in touch with me and my mam got in touch with Lloyd asking us to get each other present and they would put the money in our banks to cover it. It was a lovely thought and a lovely surprise as we had plann...
