We arrived in
Melbourne on Monday and we were like "frogs in socks" (aussie phrase
for excited) to see our travel companion Lucy Baines. Because we got there a
bit earlier Gwenda and I had a little look around the city which is amazingly
big compared to what we've been used to so far. It’s really nice with a few
older buildings including a St Paul's Cathedral and a tram system which runs
throughout Melbourne.
We had a look at Federation Square which was interesting and saw a granny riding a scooter which was very funny.
Went and picked up Lucy and basically she's a dag (aussie for a filthy sheep tail).
We've all had a fantastic time learning some Aussie lingo- "No wucking furries", "Bogan" (our favourite and it means pikey/chav), feral and cobber (friend).
The day after we arrived was a scorcher so we headed to St. Kilda's, a bay close to Melbourne. We got a free tram ride because we couldn't work out how to pay so sometimes being ignorant tourists is a bonus. We sunbathed all day and went to a Valentines party at our hostel where Luce jibbed out of a blind date game.

The next day we went up the Eureka Skytower which is the highest in Australia (I think) and got an awesome view of the whole city. Last night we also headed to the Victoria night market in Melbourne which had LOADS of tasty food but was absolutely boiling (30 degree heat at 9.30pm). We also saw a knife swallowing street performer called Ariel who was trying to get the crowd cheering- we were his loudest fans.
