Bayview on the Park Melbourne

... day, I woke up even before sunrise, but took my first shower for three days. Feeling almost human again, I first went to the Yarra Park, then to the University of Melbourne to relax at the campus and bought some fruits at Queen Victoria Market. Did I mention that I drank my first beer in Australia? Yes, a Beck's in a pub, and it was worth the 9 quid. Although beeing off work for the last two and a half months, which means no real daily structure at all, I was ...

Die Fahrt von Lorne nach Melbourne war von zwei Sachen geprägt. Das erste war Surf City in Geelong, das zweite ein schwerer Verkehrsunfall der dazu führte, dass ich mit tausenden anderen Automobilisten über drei Stunden im Stau gestanden bin. Surf City ist das Surfer Mekka an der, wie könnte es auch anders heissen, Surfcoast. Jedes bekannte Surf- oder auch Snowboard-Label ...

... although it was still mild by their standards (19C). (In fact it was the mildest winters&#8217; night in Melbourne in 150 years). The winds were picking up all the time and there was structural damage overnight in some areas. The sky was a pale, icy blue colour &#8211; very wintery. The landscape was similar to England &#8211; flat, some fields with livestock and getting increasingly built up the closer to Melbourne we got.<br><br>After ...

... on the second story of a converted warehouse building, the food and ambiance was fantastic. We made our way down the street and were lulled into a cosy little Spanish tapas bar where a live band were playing away in the corner, we sat and listened for a while before they finished up for the evening.

The local "soccer" team (I'm never going to get used to calling it that ...

... practice in the side streets to gain some confidence. After a few turns we ventured out again into traffic. It had been recommended to us to avoid heading west through Melbourne because there were huge traffic jams as a result of the air show being held west of the city.

... fat wasn't hot enough when the chips were put in so they soaked up lots of fat. After food we bought a few souvenir bits, postcards and stickers for my case. We then had a couple of beers in a put type place that looked like it could have been brought from England. They sold loads of different beers, guest beers etc and even cider, so I was happy and so was Phil. After a few drinks we headed back to the hotel and got to bed about 12am.

... amp; India for having me, and being such great fun and soo cool with me here. Seriously guys, I've loved every minute and can't wait to come back and see you! I managed to meet up with the boys a couple of times, though i hear there were some fun nights out i missed that involved Paula stealing the mike at a karaoke night, then followed by the rest of the boys! Also I hear someone got kicked out of a very posh hotel bar for pretending to play with a fake penis. Very mature boys, I ...

... gardens. Here we sampled the fizzy variety of wines, which went down a treat while looking out onto the amazing views. Heather was very quiet in the car on the way home!!! After such a hard day.....we decided to get a carry out washed down with more wine we had bought. Yes there appears to be a theme here which is surely due to Adam's influence!!! A great day though - I know we have said it ...
