Laura's Journal
Hey,
Just a quick entry as i'm off to experience melbourne's shopping! Kate picked me up friday and we went out for something to eat in a snazzy little bar to meet her boyfriend. Its a very pretty city, lots of sky scrapers but then lots of original buildings and gardens.
Yesterday we got up early and went on the neighbours tour,hehehehe! It was so funny,probably the cheesiest thing you can do! They pick you up in a "neighbours" bus and take you to the street with the dvd playing on the way of clips and music! It was so weird being in ramsey street,actually called pin oak court! Its a lot smaller than they make it look on telly. But it was so cool, harolds house was porbably the best! The tour guide kept asking us all Q's and I think I probably answered the most, oh dear, i'm very sad! Met the old man that really lives in harolds house and he was talking to me and saying he thought welsh people were strange because we call police heddlu, odd! Then they drive past the studio-bit of a dissapointment as I thought we were going in, then they take you to Erinsborough high! It was really funny and I really enjoyed it.
In the afternoon we went with Kates friends to watch the AFL-aussie rules Grand final in a pub in town. It was between a sydney side and a Perth side but the game was in melbourne so there was a great atmosphere,reminded me of an international at home. I didn't understand at 1st but then realised there aren't many rules and they basically have to get the ball and kick it between the posts! Got into it by the end and was cheering on sydney but they lost by 1 point which was a shame.
Afterwards we went up to the 50th floor in one of her friends work building to see the sunset and the view over the city which was really cool. Then in the evening we ended up staying in with takeaway and a film as I was feeling a little off, got a bit of a cold at the mo, and melbournes quite cold in comparison to sydney and tonga!
Off shopping now and to the markets which should be fun,then I fly back to sydney later.
I'll put pics on soon,
L xxxxx
