Day 119: 29/4/13 I couldn't sleep for ages last night for no particular reason. Then a group of girls came into the room and turned on the light. Noone has done that since I've been in the hostel- if the light is off you leave it off. These girls spent ages sorting themselves so that I was even more awake. By the time the last one of them was ready one of the first ones were asleep and snoring really loudly!! Eventually I got some sleep but not much so I was tir...

Day 118: 28/04/13 I had a nice sleep in for myself this morning and a late breakfast. I went to Aldi for a few bits then. Aldi is practically the same as home which is weird! Afterwards I uploaded the photos from the markets and stuff yesterday to my computer and hopefully I'll get some on the blog and Facebook soon enough. I met Laura in town then. We went to one of the little lane ways that was recommended yesterday- Degraves Street. Laura had been there bef...

Day 117: 27/4/13 The hostel have a short bus tour every Saturday morning and I decided to go on it this morning.

Our first stop today was Richmond food market. It had mostly fruit...

Day 116: 26/4/13 Today I'd an extra hour in bed as I didn't have to be in the school until 10. I had looked up train times incase they were different after morning rush hour, but they leave every few minutes. When I got to Flinders station though I got a bit of a fright as lots of trains were delayed and some platforms were closed. I don't know what was going on! Eventually one came up on the screen that would get me there on time, thankfully! The first class I...

Day 115: 25/4/13 Today was Anzac Day- remembering the people who have fought in the Australian and New Zealand Army Corp. There was a dawn service which I had no intention of getting up for. By the time I got up the parade was almost over aswell- I thought it was on later in the day, but it was on at 9. They were finishing at the Shrine of Remembrance and I saw them raising the flags and singing both national Anthems- the Union Jack was there too! There were som...
