Docklands Serviced Apartments - Grand Mercure Melbourne

... then went back to the town of San Remo, here we were dropped off at a park bench, pointed at a shop and told to buy ourselves some drink if we wanted, but were warned that we were not allowed (by Law) to drink alcohol in Public so the bottle shop was probably not the best option. We went to get some drink while the bus driver drove up the road and picked up a few pizzas, he brought them back and we sat and ate them at a bench, the pizza's were very good ...

... helpful and quite often like to get in the map with me. The city is great for exploring and really easy to jump on and off trams. The shopping is amazing but unfortunately i cannot buy anything due to the fear that my backpack will snap me in 2.<br> So after my wander i returned to my hostel to book some tours for the next couple of days. I then went out late afternoon to meet the girl, Katie that i was luckily sitting next to on the ...

... mon night so it was quiet, however when the taxi driver (clearly worked for Brisbane tourist board) told us that the best thing about Brisbane is road out of it. We end up in the hostel bar down the road and it is as if the people in there have never been out before and will never go out again, about 4 up for it girls and 15 guys, ha, ha! We agreed it was prob for the best we were only in Brisbane for one night!<br><br>We catch the Greyhound bus to Hervey ...

... the vast empty skies and tanned, brawny men wander unchecked around the streets and ginnels. It's very much like England is around October; windy and pretty cold but beautiful at the same time. I was there to meet up with my good friends Scott, Ruth and Bec whom I met in South East Asia. You remember them? Well if not you should be thoroughly ashamed of yourself, re-read the chapters concerning Thailand, Laos and Cambodia and please don't come to class ...

We spent our last few days in Bali enjoying the sun, sea and pool, in preparation for a more active few days in Melbourne. We ventured out into the local village on the last two nights we had there, and looked around the market (had to get a Bintang Beer top!) and eating at the local restaurants. Whilst sad to leave the warm weather and delight of the hotel, we were excited to be moving on with the prospect of meeting up with Vicky, Dan and Hollie.<br><br>We ...

... saw a few good matches - all in all a few good days. We watched the rest of the tournament on TV as a backpacker's budget only stretches so far! All this tennis has me thinking about Wimbledon - not that I'd ever get tickets to it.... Anyway, the price of accommodation had taken a surge with the tennis on. There was also a BMX competition starting and a few other things which all culminated in us being left with no roof over our heads for a few days. I didn't want to ...

On to Melbourne which was great fun and it is a lovely city. Temperatures were in the mid 30's but have since then really shot up and have been in the 40's today. From Melbourne we headed south -east to Wilson's Promontory which was very pretty but also busy as it was still the school holidays so we stayed just outside on a bush camp - for bush camp read "dirt". This was followed by a few days on a free campsite with basic ...

... ingesteld op de camping. Het was echter nog zo vroeg dat alles nog dicht was. Dus maar even naar de Coles supermarkt gereden in de buurt die 24 uur per dag open is. Terug bij de camping bleek het nu ineens 20 dollar te zijn per nacht, balen. Toen ik op de plek stond viel de herrie op die van achter het hek kwam, op het naastgelegen terrein was een markt aan de gang. Daar maar even heen gegaan en 2 boutjes en moertjes op de kop kunnen tikken om m'n nummerplaat ...

... in the Lonely Planet, so i was really surprised it was secluded!!). Unfortunately it was raining so we didnt get to spend much time there, but it was gorgeous. on the way back to the car though, we both managed to stand on this black snake(we both managed to miss it being a snake!) and i literally pooed my pants whilst martin found it hilarious, however i was in flip flops so that is the only reason i panicked!. After the near death experience we ...
