City of Melbourne
28 września 2022, Australia ⋅ 🌧 11 °C
So far it is really pretty. Lots of green spaces dotted between skyscrapers.

Did a bit of exploring today, and wondering. Lots of time to relax after a long lie in. Very glad I slept in, it was so nice to not be exhausted.

Still a little tired but finally ate something real. Had a bacon and egg roll and a coffee. Very good food. I didn't take a photo as I was with a new friend and that felt a little much after only just meeting them! Czytaj więcej

Night market
28 września 2022, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C
Melbourne night market is super cool.

This weeks theme was central and eastern European. Lots of stalls selling all kinds of trinkets and foods.

A group of us who are on the tour all went together. We met for a drink in the bar below the hostel. Nice bar, shitty beer.

At the market, I got an Arancini. Italian deep fried rice balls filled with mushroom and cheese. It was so tasty, kinda wished I got more but the only option was 1 or 4, and I could not have eaten 4!

Then got some dough balls. (Also deep fried) dough, like doughnuts but denser, coated in hazelnut chocolate. They were amazing! I shared with another girl in the tour as it was 10 or $12 which is great value but far to much for one person. Sharing made it the perfect amount.

Once we ate we enjoyed the live music for a bit before returning to the hostel. I think everyone is very tried at the moment for jetlag and a but overwhelmed by everything so we all went to be by 9,30/10ish. Czytaj więcej

Lazy day
29 września 2022, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C
Got woken up at 6,30 this morning. Love that for me. I mean, cant really blame the guy who woken up having a coughing fit but still kind of want to. Decided to just get up as there was no way I was getting back to sleep after that!

Went to the Hellinistic museum. That was super cool. Lots of Macenaeaic, Grecian and Roman artifacts which is right up my street. There was also an amazing statue of Eros with gold wings.

After that just went for a walk, tried to understand the team system, did not succeed. Then headed back to the hostel for a calm afternoon. Between no sleep last night and a bit of jet lag, I'm still feeling a little iffy. Cooked a bucket load of pasta, will be eating that for the next few days. Only $3 though for 4+ meals so not complaining.

Met more people on the tour down in the bar this evening which was nice. Had a drink and chatted for a bit. We are all excited to start the tour tomorrow and properly kick start this journey in Australia.

Getting in an early night now, for a 9,30am start tomorrow! Czytaj więcej

Welcome to travel
30 września 2022, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C
Had a very long day today.

9,30 in the cinema room for a intro talk and meet. Then we got our sim cards. $30 a month I'm paying for it, will be finding a different one for next month! It's good but I just don't need it.

Then we did a huge tour of the city, 4hrs later we finished! Honestly exhausted but was cool to see the city and get a better layout of the land.

Stopped for lunch at a cool roads which had a bunch of sandwich shops on it. Clearly a popular lunch spot for locals, there were a lot of office workers about. Very good sandwich which is surprising as I wouldn't usually put salami with cucumber and olives.

Once the tour was done we headed for the bank. I now how a current and savings account in Aussie. There is no money in it yet as the transfer fees are a bit much! I'll do it later once I have more working brain cells.

Currently back at the hostel trying not to fall asleep before dinner. Thankfully dinner is included so gonna eat all night!! Czytaj więcej

Podróżnik Hi send me or Tigger your Aussie bank details via DM/PM and we’ll test a small token transfer to check it as well?

Dinner and a walk
30 września 2022, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
Omg, this salad bowl was insane!! Rice, salmon, edamme, teriyaki, *chefs kiss*

Went for a walk along the river after. Very pretty with all the lights, and smelled of amazing food.

I am however exhausted now. 11hrs of people is quite a lot for an introvert. Looking forward to sleep and tomorrow. Czytaj więcej

Aboriginal tour
1 października 2022, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C
Went to Queen Victoria market this morning. Got an iced coffee and warm hoodie. It was so much bigger than I was expecting, all separated up into sections. I spoke with a gin distiller, who gave me a free taste. Love a couple shots of gin at 10am!! He was really cool though, and the gin uses on Australian botanicals, the taste was so different to British gins.

Then we hopped on the tram to their version of a war memorial, the 'Shrine of Remembrance'. Created for WW1 originally, it now encompasses all fallen soldiers of all wars.

Next was the botanical gardens. We had an amazing private tour from an aboriginal guide. Jakobi really knew what he was talking about and had been brought up in their traditional way. It was amazing to hear about all the native plants they have and how they are medicinal or poisonous in one case. I now know not to go near any trees with giant heart shaped leaves, odds on its poisonous and I have a 50/50 chance of survival!

The sun came out during our tour, and the gardens looked incredible. I will definitely be going back next weekend after the tour to see the rest of the gardens and a picnic. Czytaj więcej

Street walking
1 października 2022, Australia ⋅ 🌙 11 °C
Some photos of Melbourne's street art.

It is a huge thing in Melbourne as street art is legal. Every piece of artwork is off limits for 10-14days before anyone can paint over it. As a result the pieces change regularly, new images appearing all the time. However the large pieces or pieces done in commemoration are usually left uncover for the most part.

We also saw a load of plaques up on the wall of a live music club. When the building of flats was built next door the regular artists who played there all donated money to help sound proof the building. As a result they got there names placed on the wall in thanks and free entry for life. It closed during lockdown and is now in a different location but the plaques have stayed.

We went and had some gelati aswell which was lovely. The flavours were all unusual combinations. I didn't really like the hazelnut and orange but the vanilla, pear and chocolate was divine.

After we went to a bar for a free drink, then dinner was dumblings at a Chinese place. Not my idea of a fun evening just because of the places chosen but the food was still good. We then went to a games bar that was seriously overpriced, so I left pretty quickly when they asked me to pay $20 to be in the room. Apparently only those who have paid can be there even if we dont want to play the games.

Was super tired by the end anyway because id been out for nearly 12 hours again.

Looking forward to tomorrow. Another busy but penguins!! Czytaj więcej
