Since I was so tired of the day before I didn't do anything special this day. Woke up very late, because I did not put my telephone on and had no clock. Around 1pm I went outside to buy something and searched for an internet cafe where I could print something. After a long long walk I finally fou…

Pubs and Bars in MelbourneAs with the off-the-main street charming cafes, nice pubs and bars in Melbourne is hidden in between the city's concrete blocks.

Its finally here, my last day in Melbourne. So sad. It wasn't a very exciting day. We just packed up all my stuff, which turned out to be a pretty big challenge. I should have stored more shit in Sydney, my bad. After Donna and Zippy got back we went out for dinner at the Edinburgh Hotel, which w…

I was in tears, physically and emotionally, while counting my last few hours in a country that made me see a world where dreams come true. Yes, more than Disneyland can! I will be missing Australia. But I promise, coming back will definitely be on my priority list of future travel plans. Goodbye, A…

Melbourne, my second city in this trip, a city that impressed me by the variety of culturas who meet here.   Melbourne is located on the Yarra River, surrounded by beautiful parks, and buildings with a mix of classic and modern buildings and a variety of restaurants, shops and a casino (Crow…

Survival of the fittest took on a whole new meaning the day of my farewell drinks (28 June). It was one of the last ‘getting ready to leave’ days and I had hoped I would have plenty of time to rest but there was still packing and moving boxes to ‘do’.It was a bleak Melbourne day and Deb and…

I needed to slowly make my way back to Sydney so I booked myself on the oz experience bus from Melbourne to Sydney. I thought the oz experience would simply be a form of transport to jump on and off at places but on this particular route it seemed much more like a tour. This turned out to be a good…
