1) Shopping!
A trip that was well worth the time and effort. Enjoyed my time there. Thanks Boon for sharing your place =) U're welcome to stay at mine if you happen to visit Sydney.
Grampians
This trip was pretty expensive, think I paid a total of A$90 for the trip and all I got was a bus ride to the Grampians and back (not to mention some lemmingtons and tea). But still, this was the part of the whole Melbourne trip I enjoyed the most =) The scenery was heavenly I should say. And best of all, Melbourne is cool, which is so unlike Sydney (today's highest temp is 33 deg, OMG).
Waterfall at the Grampians
ClubbingStef's idea. =P basically we went clubbing. And here and now I admit that clubbing isn't my type of thing, I dont really like the atmosphere and I'm not a good drinker. Had a shot of tequila and I'm basically dead. Check Stef's blog for my look-alike who looks drunk =P Oh and I had another beer before going back at about 3am, slept at 4am, and woke up at 6am feeling dead.
Royal Melbourne ShowMissed the Royal Easter Show in Sydney during the Easter break and made up for it in Melbourne. Royal Melbourne Show is, in short, some event where people set up rigged targets for you to shoot at, some rides and goodie shops. Oh, and there are some random animals for you to look at =)
