19/10/06 - Left The Nunnery at 10am on the Sky Bus to the Airport. Caught flight at 12.15pm to Brisbane with Virgin Blue. Smooth flight, got into Brisbane at 2.15pm and got the train into the city. I remembered to get off at South Brisbane station, then walked across street to Bus Terminal, where I also remembered the Bus No. 202 to Shelley's! Maybe my memory isn't that bad after all! Got off just before Shelley's to go and check into Greenslopes Moto...

12/10/06 - Checked out of the dorm room and went to explore the city centre.  I walked for miles again today and it turned out to be the hottest day for Melbourne on record for this time of year!  I could of told them that without even getting a thermometer out, as I was melting all day!  It reached 36.6 degrees!  Unfortunately for me, I had gone out in the morning when it was fairly cool and I was wearing jogging bottoms, not good!!  I t...

Then low and...

1/10/06 - Got up around 10.30am, still feeling a little tired, had another lovely breakfast. Have sorted out my coach bookings for next legs of trip to Sydney, then Canberra, then Melbourne and also my accommodation bookings.
