So my last few days have been quite eventful. At soundwaves we met a really
cool guy from Luke. We exchanged numbers and then we met up with him in
St Kilda's. He showed us around St Kila's we went for a long walk on
the pier and onto Luna Park followed by Acland Street where he treated us
to the best roast ever! I had a seriously chunky bit of beef, it was mre
like steak, absolutely heaven. We then went for a few drinks in a bar
called Hotel Esplanade which was pretty good fun, there was a live band
playing so we didnt stay for too long as we couldnn't hear eachother speak.
We then went up fitzroy street which is the main strech of bars and resturants.
That was pretty cool. We ended up going back to Luke's flat for a little
bit and he came back to check out our hostel. When we got back to the hostel
Tom and Arron from Koh Phangan were there also which was cool so we all
had a few drinks.

The next day we went to St Kilda beach which was pretty cool, I didnt
go in the water but Lillie did. This time the waves were reallly gentle,
unlike manly and bondi. We had a nice little sleep on the beach before
rudely being awoken by some flipping chinese screaming in eachothers ears.
We decided it was time to go and hit Cold Rock, this ammazing ice cream
parla. I choose ferro Rouche ice cream with choc fudge brownie mixed in..
it was beautiful. That evening we met with Kate and Lucy from Phanghan and
had a meal at a vietnamise. Mark our room mate came with us which was nice.

Yesterday we got up and sorted out our washing, we had mega loads to do so
got rid of all of that. We then had a wonder around, got Lillie some shoes
and then headed back to the hostel. We were supposed to have a big night
with our roomates as it was our last night but I felt a bit cold and fluey
so went to bed at about 7, by 8 I had serious stomach issues which resulted
in me dashing to and from the bathroom 1000 times!! It got to about 1am
and I was still feeling bloody awful, by this point I had nothing to vomit
up so was feeling rubbish, I kept trying to help myself by drinking and
nothing seemed to work. At one stage I felt really faint and I could not
focus on anything, I got panniccy and was having hot sweats. I had Mark
my roommate looking after me bless him. I ended up getting alot worse
by about 2am and an ambulance was called. I spoke to the paramedic and he
just suggested getting a cab as it would be quicker, I jumped in a cab and
headed to Melbourne Hospital. I didnt have to wait long to be seen and they
kept me in to observe me. They put a drip in my arm, did a few tests and
drugged me up, At about 6am they tried me on some food and drink which
luckily I kept down. I had my drip removed after 2 bags of saline and then
I headed back to the hostel where II got about 1 hour sleep. We got picked
up at 9am for the airport which wasa nightmare as by this time, Lillie
had got the food posioning and she was being extremely sick. We managed
to get up and make it to the airport, we fell asleep at every given
opportunity, the taxi to airport, at the airport, on the plane, on the taxi
when we got to sydney and currently Lillie is sleeping now. I managed to
get an hour or so's sleep but the room here in sydney is BOILING. I think
I am going to ask for a fan.

We are spending about 3 days in SYdney before moving onto surf camp, given
that all is well with us both.
