Well its been almost a month since my last entry and I'm sorry I have been somewhat neglectful of this blog! When I first started writing here, everything was a new experience, but by the end of March most of my days were similar to those previous, and so I haven't had much to chat about that wouldn't have involved repeating myself. Life goes on in Melbourne for me much as it has the previous 3 months. I have settled in comfortably to living in South Yarra with...

I popped out to grab us a few beers as a celebratory drink. We chilled out for a few hours before heading out down on to Chapel Street.

The area is predominantly residential, and...

At about 12pm I got out of bed, got ready, and began collecting my things together in order to leave. I have found in my time out here, that there are things you can do to really help yourself when you are staying in dorms. For example, I...

Monday morning and it was back to reality and city life for me. I awoke at about 9am, got ready and prepared to head out. However, as I crawled out of bed I noticed a rather severe pain in the back of the neck. I think I had been lying awkwardly last night, and as a result my neck felt very jarred. Undettered, I headed to Frankston train station and caught the train to South Yarra, the location of my new Hostel - the Claremont Guest House. I arrived an hour ...
