hello there how are you ??? we are in oz now. we arrived in melbourne and made our way across the city to our hostel where we met oli (yipeeee) i was very excited indeed. we then set out to explore melbourne we went on the free tram around the city center and had a look around. we went to the aquarium where oli brought a seal puppet and spent the rest of the day scaring people on buses and trams with it. he he he. Virinder then arrived (beth was very excited) we went to watch some jaz in the park, and then took a trip to ramsey street. that was pritty cool we saw all of the houses played ball in the street, and gate crashed the tour and got a pic with the sign. people payed 30 dollars to go on the tour and we got there for 5. The day we were plannig on leaving beth went to a art gallery and was a little late comming to meet us so we missed our train to canbera and poor vince arrived in the capital city without us. do not fear we got the train the next day and we were reunited. the next day we went to the parliment buildings and then got the oz bus to sydney. (there is nothing in canbera even though it is the capital) our bus driver was a ledgend he was really funny singing and dancing as he drove. we arrived in sydney on friday and the boys have found an arcade so are playing virtual tennis2 and getting very competative about it. we have also been to the sydney aquarium and seen the seals which was very exciting (oink). lots more to see and do lots of love clare and beth xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
