    What we do in the city

    April 20, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    Here we are. The Spirit of Tasmania (SOT) has taken us back from remote Tassie wilderness and cool climate to an Easter weekend of almost 30degrees in Melbourne. Yes, it is a bit of a culture shock.
    Luckily, we are able to stay in a dear friend's place while we're in Melbourne, figuring out the next leg of the journey. From disembarking the ferry at 8am in the morning (after a sound sleep in the ferry's recliner seats btw), we straight away drove to the flat, which is super central AND were lucky enough to find a free parking space close by as well. City adventure can start. On our list:
    - getting some pieces of camping gear and spare parts
    - getting the car checked one last time
    - picking up our passports WITH the Russian visa
    - finalising shipment of the car
    - finalising our trip to Japan (yup, we know when we'll get to Russia from Japan but haven't sorted out flights to Japan yet)
    - dealing with the embassy for passport related stuff
    - getting a map for the travel plans
    - possibly get stickers for the car
    - make jam
    - make pizza in a pot (it turned out SO yum)
    - make energy balls
    - sort pictures
    - once done, find a workaway placement to spend some time at
    - spend time with friends
    - explore
    - and most of all don't get overwhelmed.
