Lucy's Travels
Thursday 5th January - Up at 4am to catch a flight to Melbourne. Had a quick check-in and a short 1.5hr flight to reach our destination. Checked in to a cheap hotel and hired a car for the day. However, it was an automatic and had power-steering so I had to learn to drive all over again! Started our descent onto the great ocean road not knowing it was a 6 hour drive each way to the '12 Apostles'. Shared the drive as we were both quite tired and had a very fast car which helped! Passed different towns with English names such as; Torquay, Anglia, Brighton etc. When we reached the Apostels it was breathtaking! The view's were amazing and were stunned by how far they stretch out for. Drove back to Melbourne having to find an overnight car park and petrol!
Friday 6th January - Up early to take the car back and get to St Kilda just south of Melbourne. Met up with Kathy and caught our bus to the 'NEIGHBOURS TOUR'! It was so exciting but a bit of a rip-off, we only really saw the road because the studio is closed for Christmas and the actors dont start back until 16/01/06! There probably in the UK doing Panto! Went back to the City and jumped on the free tram and went around the city. Stopped off at Queens Market and then walking down to Federation Square. Melbourne has a lot more character to it than Sydney - think I prefer it! Had dinner along the waterfront and then went into St Kilda for a drink and then back into Melbourne for another!
