Friday 7th Dec

Got up early to check out and changed our room. We decided to stay an extra night here so we could decide what or how to travel around Australia.

Once we changed the room, we decided to go to the backpackers travel agency to see if they could give advices on seeing Australia.

Before we went to book our coach tickets, Lisa found an opiticans and decided to ask about the contact lenses. She missed wearing contact lenses so she have booked herself to have eyes test after explaining her recent situation with her contact lenses. Fortunately for her, she was told that she could have her eyes test today to save time. It was for 2pm in the afternoon.

We then found the travel agency and they recommended to have OZ Experience or Greyhound. We found Greyhound more attractive cos they are cheaper, more flexible and we get to be more independent. We have got 2 different passes, one is for travel from Melbourne to Sydney. Another one is for travel from Cairns to Sydney after Christmas/ New Year.

Time for Lisa's Eyes test. It was very through exam, took 30mins to ensure everything are okay. He said that her sight have changed slightly and that they were quite dry. They gave her the trial contact lenses to see if it's correct for her. It wasn't perfect but it's better than her previous contact lenses prescription. It'll do till she get her correct contact lenses on Tuesday which should be ready to be collected by then. So Lisa will have to go back there again, meaning we need to extend our stay in Melbourne. She was happy to be wearing her contact lenses again.

We made our way back to the hostel for lunch before popping over to the Victoria's Market to get UGGs boots requested by Lisa's little sister. Unfortunately the markets were closed!

We returned back to the hostel to discuss what we will need to do while we are in Melbourne. We decided to stay here till 12th Dec, to go to St. Kilda and chill out on the beach or whatever they do offer there. We are planning to stay there for over a week before returning back to Melbourne to catch our bus to Sydney.

We decided to have another chill out evening (again!). There isn't anything to do in the evenings apart from being on the internet or watching dvds in the cinema.
