My last night in Australia (9th) I spent trying to get my things into my bag and I went to say goodbye to Ryan. We finally made it to the Asian Beer Cafe! God I wish we had gone here sooner! It was Asian themed (obviously) but the food and drinks were ridiculously cheap! Ryan had to go to work tonight but he stayed with me for as long as possible and I had the arduous task of packing my things for home and deciding what I could dump...(donate sounds better) somew...

This blog entry is going to cover the last couple of weeks/weekends in Melbourne. I realise the Yarra Valley blog comes somewhere in the middle of this but it deserved it's own entry!

The bar was amazing. Bla...

After working at the cafe for a few weeks my bank account was starting to look a little healthier and so I decided to make a start on the Melbourne 'bucket list' I had created. It contains all of the things I have discovered and would like to do and some other things that people have recommended me to do here in town. But...we're still going to do free things too!
