The city from above

Today has been such a chill day, I've loved it.

Started off with a job and flat search talk. Giving advice on how to find jobs, what's the best places for different things, how to find accommodation, the works. Very informative, but also quite overwhelming. Its daunting begging the job search when you know the area, but when you've never been it's quite intense.

Then we switched to a much more fun travel plans talk. Got loads of tips for where to stay and what to do. They really fueled my excitement for doing the east coast and thanks to the talk I am booked onto the Great Ocean Road trip. RIP to my money, but as I can never do it again I figured why not. Also who doesn't want to spend 5 days riding shotgun down a beautiful coast line, high on life and not having to worry about anything.

After the talks we hopped on the tram down to the beachside suburb of St Kilda. Very residential but with a cute high street and beach, a draw for visitors and locals alike. We went for lunch and I had the most disappointing cake in the history of ever. I managed 3 bites before giving up, it was inedible and very expensive. But, that's the joy of travelling, there are highs and very much lows!

Because it was super cold in the wind, we made our way back to the city proper for our surprise. We got to go up to the sky deck! The second tallest building in Melbourne, the highest observation deck and rather expensive experience. But honestly, so cool. The view was insane, the sun came out and light the city up and you could see for miles. My photos couldn't pick up the mountains in the distance or the edge of the bay unfortunately but it was insane. After a bit of vertigo and 36 second in the lift up 88 floors, we were greeted with an amazing view.Read more
