Cute Week

Have finally left the nest, flew to Melbourne on Friday after a sad goodbye to Alan and Kelly in Sydney and my very own bed... Melbourne is cool, must funkier than Sydney and not half as rude or stuck up its own ass. Obviously the downside is that it's bloody freezing, but that doesn't matter with all the caffeine from those cool side street cafes running through my veins. Had the most amazing coffee provided by Alex the super-barista (who we met along with his lovely girlfriend Melissa in Laos and also night-time Melbourne). Went to a few cool hidden bar gems and did a bit of touring as well. Stayed in a really crap hostel "Melbourne Connection", Lonely Planet got this one one wrong wrong wrong!!! Lovely kitchen my ass!!! One small cooker and no mugs/cups/useful items??? CRAP! Plus we made the fatal traveler error of paying in advance, and they refused to refund us, meaning to do so would have cost us muchos, grrr!!!!!! So following the worlds good and evil balance we were drawn to Phillip Island where we saw hundreds of tiny penguins come out of the sea for a nap, COOL!!!!! WOW!!! and then today we saw a Koala Bear in a tree by the side of the road and we were only 6 feet from it and it was munching away and then promptly fell asleep, brilliant. Ok no Time gotta go, bye.
