Day 2!!

Melbourne is a crazy fun city and I have barely done anything! Yesterday after updating I went to find a place to buy a cell phone and walk around Melbourne a bit. It is a miracle I haven 't been hit by a car since they drive on the other side of the road. Oh and they have trams that go down the center of the road so it is even more of a miracle that I haven't been squashed! I found a cell phone and then found a place that served paninis. I walked back to the park and had lunch under a tree. Then I went back to the hostel and took a shower and got cleaned up. Then I hiked back into downtown Melbourne to meet up with my friend Julianne. It was great to see her finally! She walked me around Melbourne some more and showed me what streets would be fun to explore and the vistors center. Then we went and saw where she goes to school and make a plan for the next couple of days. Then we walked around her dorm and talked to a guy named Simon from Malaysia. He likes to film edit so he showed me some cool things and taught me a new video filming technique. Super cool guy. Then Julianne took me to dinner at the dorms. Oh the joy of dorm food. I got to talk to more people from her college and they were all really nice. Then she showed me how to ride the tram and I took it back to my hostel around 8:30 and passed out in my bed around 9.



I woke up around 4am and read my book for a little then fell back to bed and woke up around 8:30. I got dressed and went downstairs for the free tea and toast. Then I walked all the way across Melbourne to the aquarium. The aquarium here is crazy cool! I loved it. I then went to Subway because I couldn't find a cafe that wasn't crazy expensive. It is funny how Subway is different here. They have pinnaple to put on your sandwich and tomato sauce. I ate infront of a fountain by parliment then walked back to lovely library that has free internet. Later I am going to play Footie (soccer) with some people from Julianne's college and then don't know what I am going to do after that. Now onto pics...

Super cute car that I found


My lunch and the park


This probably made my day. These two were just sitting right next to the path when I walked by and there were like 20 more up in the trees. So freaking cute!

My first two horses I saw while in Australia. Yes I took a picture.
