Have you ever drunk Bailey's from a shoe?

Sorry about the last entry, I was feeling a bit rough, but am much better now we're pretty busy. Melbourne was actually a fantastic place so i reckon it deserves an entry, if i can remember much. I'll add the photos that are already in the gallery for those who don't know how to find it (including me).

The atmosphere of the place was totally new compared to any other city i've been in. On an eveing, groups of friends and strangers old and new would congregate on street corners just to chat. There was a truly happening place on the river called Federation Sq, the wind up for the grand prix was taking place so it was pretty lively. The china town was also a brilliant experince, offering dirt cheap food, that wasn't too dirty. I tried kangaroo and crocodile! Wouldn't recommend either of them to be honest, though kangaroo was superior by far, croc's kinda like very chewy chicken. The whole place was great to wander by night.

We went on a long day trip down the Great Ocean Road, was rather stunning. There was a beach exactly like the Zante coves! Very impressed.

The neighbour's tour and night was quite an experience! Pin Oak St (Ramsay) is exactly as portrayed but much smaller than portrayed. The residents even get their own bodyguard to make sure us crazy pilgrims don't threaten their properties. I met Janelle who was lovely and had stupidly white teeth. The night was highly entertaining, basically lots of drunken British binge drinkers packed into a British bar! But the stars were very friendly.

Paul Robinson definitely made my night, there was this moment as everyone was getting very excited about seeing the cast that I saw this little sliding window into a strange room, so i scanned around me for bodyguard, climbed up onto a chair and slowly, very slowly slid it open. What should i see but Toadie and Steph having a little chat in the bar next door. One of them looked up so i quickly closed it and waited a minute or so. A minute later i opened it again and there was Stefan Davis peering straight at me! Ha ha. He looked craftily side to side to see if anyone had noticed me, then looked back and put his finger to his mouth..."Shh!!" I felt so badass. Fantastic.

St Kilda was a ball, felt rather like Brighton, though we did see a penguin! Oh and we had another little pilgrimage to Luna Park, the theme park when Izzy took Max when he was going mad. It was so crap, like actually worse than Frontier Land! But the candyfloss was fantastic, made me think of mum and hanni-bee.

We also saw a bloody fantastic performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream in the botanical gardens, with possoms skimming through the trees, fruit bat swooping across the stage and lots and lots of naughtiness.

I'm running out of time so will just say that Christchurch is also nice though we were getting tired of towns by then.

Yummy Yummy Fudge tour!

Will get up to date eventually!
