Greetings from Melbourne! Here's what we've been up to since my last update.... Monday- Flew to Melbourne from Sydney with Virgin Blue, Australia's answer to Easy Jet but with a bit more style. We had arranged to meet up with Becky's cousin Rene' in Melbourne, who has been working here for a little while, maybe go out for a few beers or guided tour of the city, but when we rolled up at the hostel we discovered she was also staying here!
