Driving into the city trying to avoid the toll roads we found Ewan & Jess's apartment fairly easily. Because it was a public holiday we could park for free around the corner. Once grabbing all our things, duvet and pilliows we left poor sherbie on a busy street in the city. Walking into the flat shouting 'HAPPY ANZAC DAY' to greet everybody and met one of Ewan and Jess's flat mates Rebecca. Didn't do much until after dinner when everybody got wrapped up ready for the big game.. Collingwood V Essendon at the MCG. We couldn't believe how lucky we were to get tickets to this massive game on Anzac day. 87,000 people congregated in this one stadium for what turned out to be a very exciting game. At the beginning of the game the both of us didn't have a clue what was going on, Ewan kept trying to tell us what was happening. By half time we both couldn't get enough, it got so exciting with the game being so close. A nail biting last quarter led collingwood to win by just 1 point.. bugggger!! We had put a little bet on Essendon to win. Throughout the game it got so exciting that ewan jumped up and spilt all his beer over a girl infront.. ohh and over all her chips too. After the game we went for a couple more beers before heading back to the flat. Wicked Day!!
The following morning the both of us had to get up before 7am to go and more the campervan, otherwise we would have woke up to a hefty fine. Soo 7am in the morning we moved sherbie further out of the city, outside one of Jess's friends house. Free parking and he said he would keep an eye on it for us. Once getting to the house we decided to get some exercise and walk back to the flat, which took us just over an hour. Later that morning everybody went to work, leaving us to have a day to explore Melbourne city.
We wandered for a few hours around the city, heading down to the riverfront which was nice, ate in a little food court which wasn't too expensive and had a look around Crown entertainment complex. Around 6pm we made our way back to Ewan & Jess's to which Jess had made us Fajitas for tea.. delicious. Again that night we chilled out watching Gavin & Stacey.
On the Friday both Ewan and Jess took the day off work so we headed into the city for a spot of shopping and lunch. Peter bought some pants as he didn't have anything warm to wear for our friday night out that evening. After shopping we jumped onto the tram (without paying) to the suburb Fitzroy. Kinda naughty not paying but apparently everybody does it.. so thats ok isn't it? haha.. We walked up and down the streets of Fitzroy looking for somewhere nice to have dinner and we picked a right corker.
That night we had drinks in the apartment which led to more drinks in the apartment which led to a night out to the nightclub Revolver.. Man you could get lost in that place.. infact Lucy did a few times.
The following day we had planned to go to the Casino to finish our 'BIG WEEKEND' off with a bang. Only it didn't go to well and we won zilche.
The sunday ended up being one big lazy day doing absolutely nothing and partly to do with the fact we had spent loads of money over the past three days. Around 6pm the both of us walked that 1 hour walk back to sherbie to pick him up and park him exactly where we left him the first night. Again as it was free parking sunday nights. That night jess made tea again which ended up being bangers and mash.
That was the end to our 'BIG' weekend in Melbourne.. we had a fantastic time but didn't think Melbourne had much on the 'to do & see list.'
