After the mad night out, I woke. Turned to left, head not so bad, turned to right, head not so bad. Thought I'd feel a lot worse after last night, especially after polishing off the bones of a bottle of captain Morgans between myself and david! Was a great night but maybe the 2 girls were not very impressed with out sing song at 4am in the morning but i thought we were quite good!! Carol went to gym early on in morning giving me a few extra hours sleep in! Tota...

Decided to give the oul lie in a miss this morning! Got up at 8am and went out for run.

Got back to apartment and afte...

We decided to visit a contemporary art gallery (AACI) which was very small but had a few pieces of quite cool art. I wouldn...

Had a nice sleep lash night, didn't wake once which is unusual as I normally do whenever I'm not in own bed. Carol went of to gym for an hour so I decided to repay Sinéad/David a bit so did a spot of cleaning! Left the apartment about 11am and strolled through Melbourne (again, such a class vibrant place). Got watching a street entertainer for about 30 mins, good showman and knew how to get a crowd. He kept the main trick dangling on string but near end came t...
