'Verity's Travels'
Hey all!
I've done a lot over the past week. Last Sunday I flew from Singapore to Melbourne and arrived early Monday morning. Spent the day walking around the city. The atmosphere was great as the Commonwealth Games are on. It's such a beautiful city. On Tuesday we went on the Neighbours set, it was awesome! I had a photo of me holding the Ramsey Street sign and everything! Wednesday we went on a river cruise to Williamstown, a quaint seaside town outside Melbourne. We travelled on the Greyhound overnight (10 hours and I even managed to get some sleep on the bus!) and arrived in Canberra on Thursday morning.
Canberra wasn't exactly exciting, it's meant to be the capital of Australia and the majority of the centre of the city closed up at 5.30pm! Our hostel had a sauna, jazuzzi and swimming pool so we made the most of that. Thursday we explored the government buildings, not very top security, unlike The White House in Washington.... remember that Ness and Becca, no being told off with guards holding machine guns! On our way back we got on the bus in the wrong direction and ended up miles away on some highway with barren land all around us! We found it very amusing and it reminded me of all the times that we got stranded in America... New York and the snow storm, Florida Keys and the hurricane and Marthas Vineyard and the ferry.... remember girls! We managed to get back to our hostel just in time to catch our Greyhound bus to Sydney.
Travelled to Sydney in the evening and met Kat out that night as it was her birthday. So nice to see her :) We went to an Irish bar and then to a club. Bryony and I asked for some Black Eyed Peas as the music wasn't great and as soon as it was played the dance floor was rammed! That one was for you Chetna!
Today we walked over the Sydney Harbour Bridge and had amazing views of the city, it really lovely here, I now see Jo what all the fuss was about! Going out in Sydney tonight and that reminds me I had better go and start getting ready.
Hope you are all well. Will update you again soon on what I've been up to.
