Just thought i would give you a quick update on my travels...
Well i left Sydney after 3 weeks on Friday and got the coach to the unexciting place of Canberra. Many people have said it really isnt worth coming here, but i thought as it is the countrie's capital, i best check it out even if it is just for 1 night. Well, i can see why... its COLD, DEAD and NOTHING TO DO. Well it was ok, just so quiet and really nothing to do apart from the War Museum which was very interesting, even if it did take me half an hour in the pissing rain!!!! was worth it.
The next day i took a long walk to some other museums, learning about the city and how it was designed!! quite interesting.
Then i left there at 8pm on Saturday ready for an ever exciting 10 hour overnight coach journey to Melbourne. woohoo!!!!
It wasnt too bad as there was only 4 of us on the coach so i could spread me legs out a bit. I arrived in Melbourne 7am Sunday morning in search of a cental city hostel. The City seemed ok, started to feel the tram like city and what i could potentially do.
After catching up on some sleep, i ventured out onto the streets, nearly getting run over by a tram!!! ha... went to the Queen Victoria Markets and just carried on checking the city out.
Today i have been on a walking mission around the whole of melbourne, walking in total about 10km, was pretty cool and reminded me of how travelling can be so exciting and spontaneous and the freedom to do whatever and whenever!!!
I now have Wednesday and Thursday morning to get in as much as i can before i eagerly fly to Christchurch, South Island of NZ, Where i then have until 24th October to work my way back upto Auckland and fly out!!!! cant wait to come home, soooooo excited!
As for arriving in NZ, i will need to look for work ASAP as im so low on money and no funds are left so its work work work!!! there is loads of things to do in NZ, places to see and adventures to do.. All needs money to do tho!!!!
As u may of realised, i am travelling on my own at the moment, after many discussions with sam, i felt it was best if i moved on, as we have been arguing a fair bit and things have not got better, so unfortunately its gonna be atleast a month before i see her as she is still in sydney and she has melbourne to do, but at the same time we might start to appreciate each other a bit better!!! thats a long story anyway. But sam is comfortable in Sydney, she has a very nice apartment with 5 other people on the 31st floor, shes got her swimming pool, sauna, loads of friends that she sees all the time and is working as a promotional girl so she is earning a little bit. it has been hard for us both in many ways (me more tho!!!!) sorry!...
So hopefully we will meet up in NZ at some point, sooner rather than later and can maybe enjoy the rest of our trip together, i know i would like to at some point! But for anyone that is worrying, we are both safe and well, but i think we are both sooooooooooooooooo looking forward to coming home to see our loved ones... maybe even a massive joint party! we have some ideas!!! hahaha
Anyway, i think this is the longest i have ever wrote, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE CAN U ALL START WRITING MORE MESSAGES AS THERE IS A LACK OF EM FROM US AND YOU GUYS, IT HELPS US AND REMINDS US OF OUR HOME WHICH WE DEARLY MISS SOMETIMES and in return we will keep putting our pictures on and will try and make more of an effort messaging too....
LOVE YOU ALL VERY MUCH AND TAKE CARE EVERYONE...
LOTS OF LOVE
