... the cab. Sorry elderly couple wherever you are. Leaving the swear words from the drunken girls behind, we flopped in our hostel and welcomed sleep. Fully re-engergised, we left the hostel the next morning to explore Melbourne. The city has a very ...

... up by me saying that I really hate groups of tourists! Once we were back in the town we managed to find a cheap as chips hostel where we could spend the night and most importantly dry all of our sodden gear. We headed out for lunch and ended up meeting ...
