My last day in Melbourne today with the prospect of an overnight bus later...booo! I set out to find thins to occupy myself for a cold wet rainy day in Melbourne....so I hopped on the free tram and would just jump off if I saw anywhere that looked interesting. I ended up going round once and a half because for the whole first 45 minutes I was sat on the tram it rained and hailed and it didn't look fun outside!!!! We got to the top of one hill and all the lights i...

After packing up Seymor for the last time we gave him a bit of a spring clean and headed fro Geelong where we found there was actually NOTHING to do!

Stall after stall sold all sorts of Aussie souvenirs - there was the off chavvy clothes stall and HUNDREDS of pairs of UGGS!!!!! :D The markets also had a food section and somehow I ended up ...

The overnight bus was horrendous I couldn't get comfy atall I slept for about 2-3hours when I pieced together all the random bits of sleep I got! Bad Times! We stopped at 3am for a "Meal Break" who wants food at 3am!?!?!?! Arrived in Melbourne at 8am and felt pretty groggy. It wasnt too much of a walk to the hostel from the station.
