    Melbourne

    October 31, 2023 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    One week in Melbourne visiting Zoella and her husband Luke - honestly, the best hosts ever! Was so nice to catch up with them and slow down the pace a bit as well...
    Got to explore the city with a guided walking tour and just generally wandering around checking out the 'laneways' (think this is just an Aussie term for Alleyways?!)
    I also got to play netball again with Zoe's team and even did a park run on the Sat (34.5mins... quite pleased with my time tbh, 3 years since i've done any sort of run!)
    Got to also hang out with some of Zoe and Luke's friends from Brum (who live in Sydney now) where we did a road trip to Geelong (don't ask about pronunciation!) and join in with Zoe and Luke's house warming party - drinking games ensured that Sunday was a struggle...
    Other Melbourne activities:
    - Melbourne Museum
    - Brighton Beach
    - Botanical Gardens
    - Shrine of Rememberance
    - Exploring the suburbs
    - Walk along Yarra River
    It is also true what they say about Melbourne and having the 4 seasons in one day - never wearing quite the right clothes and the weather is so close to the UK! It felt very homely!!!
