so for the last week we have been in Melbourne. We arrived last wednesday after another long and sleepless bus trip and had to wait around until 2pm until we could check in!!! Not happy about that!!!! We all passed out in the hostels bar and woke to find lots of people sitting around us watching a movie. So we wiped the dribble off our faces (not embarrassing at all!) and finally managed to check into our rooms and get some sleep!
That eve we decided to go out but it was a bit of a disappointing night as we didn't really know where to go and Melbourne is a bit dead on a week night so we were home pretty early.
On our fist day here we went for an explore around the city and did a bit of shopping, me and faye decided to shop for a bit longer than everyone else (being the shopaholics that we are) and then ended up going for one drink in a really nice bar. Well one drink turned into a lot more and we stumbled home to find that all our stuff had been removed from our room. Turns out the cleaners were hoovering that day and if your belongings were not cleared off the floor then they dumped them all into a big bin..my things were litterally everywhere!!!!!!!!!!!
As you can imagine we were not impressed and proceeded to rant and rave to basically anyone in the hostel who would listen for hours..the girls have it all on video, its very amusing, and hugely embarrassing!!!
The following day i met up with Cam (one of the Aussie boys we met in phuket, thailand) and then met the girls at the beach, where i proceeded to walk the wrong way to them for about an hour!! (oh well i probably needed the exercise!) so we spent the day tanning, swimming and playing volleyball with these two turkish guys (one of them was a little mentally dissabled we think!!! Either that or he had taken something that day!!!!).
That night we met up with some boys who were on the same Fraser island trip with us. Again the night was a bit of a let down as we ran out of money pretty early so we were home before one again.
On Saturday we went to Victoria market and had a look around and then went out with Cam and Karl and their mate Barney. We ended up going to this really stuck up club and although us girls got in without queueing, the boys just weren't allowed in (for reasons we still don't know) even after they queued. So i ended up going to transport (another bar) with the boys and Mark, who's a guy we had met in Sydney through Ian.
Sunday was a chillin and recovering day. And then we went to an Aussie rules footie game in the stadium in the eve. it was really fun to watch, even though we were completely clueless to what was happening!!!
Monday in the moring we got up early and went to visit the neighbours set and met the actress who used to play Libby. It was a really great tour, especially as i bumped into julie and tom there!!! we got to see the school and Ramsey street. Even though the school and the street arn't actually called edinsburough high and Ramsey Street, which kinda burst my bubble a bit!
In the eve we went to visit Melbourne Gaol for a tour. it was really spooky and you could definately feel a presense there (even though it was probably psychological it was still scary!!). none of us wanted to stand in front of any open cell doors during the performance and we all held hands and huddled together like scared sheep!!! Well it was scary!!! The lights were all off and there was an actor doing the show who was playing one of the old hangmen theat used to work there and telling us stories of prisoners who lived and died there...like Ned Kelley for example, who is an infamous Aussie criminal...kind of a Robin Hood of his day.
On the Tuesday we just went into town as the weather wasn't great and then went to neighbours night in the eve. It was a fabulous night!!! Julie and Tom were there so i was able to properly catch up with them and we all met Tody, Paul Robinson and Steph from Neighbours!
All in all great night..tho i am def blaming julie for the slightly fragile head i have today!!!!
Today we are just chillin and then going out for a family meal later before our overnight bus back to Sydney..fun fun!
