Penny's Big Adventure
Well I must say, Melbourne started off really bad, got better and then ended really bad too!
The first day I got there (Friday), the hostel room was really noisy and people tended to go to bed at 6am after spending most of the night talking loudly outside which kept everyone else awake.
Then that same night, we had a nightmare trying to find a pub we were meeting friends at, I walked miles in heels (what an idiot) only to get a schooner of beer chucked over me by a teenager who couldn't hold his drink and slipped. He just about apologised - I was furious.
We then waited half an hour for a tram which was running late.
Saturday was better. We moved to St Kilda by the beach and the hostel was better. We saw the shops, walked by the beach, took in the views and had a lovely dinner.
Sunday morning 4 of us set off for the Great Ocean Road in a hire car. It was a lovely drive (approx 250km) and we stopped in Lorne on the way to have some lunch. We also went to the 12 Apostles which is really stunning. The hostel was ok, not the cleanest I've seen but anyway...
Went to sleep only to get wokrn by some inconsiderate girl who switched the light on at 2am to make her bed, because she'd spent all evening in the lounge no-doubtedly flirting with half the guys. Then this morning, she did the same thing at 6.30am. I was tutting away and turning over in a half sleep, opened my eyes only to see a HUGE BLACK hairy spider on my pillow. You have NEVER seen anyone jump out of bed and run out the room quicker - according to Martine anyway! I'll be having nightmares of spiders for weeks, I'm sure of it!
Kev - if you're reading this, I'm sorry I didn't catch up with you this time, but I'll come again - this time with a huge tent to wrap round me while I'm sleeping!!!
Back in Sydney tonight - phew! Feels like I've arrived home!
Lots of love
