We visited a jail which was closed down a few years ago which was very
interesting but so creepy. Over 150 people were hung in the room we were
looking around and we both got a bit freaked out and jumpy. After that we decided to
visit some uplifting touristy places and spent a day wandering around the zoo.
(yes we saw koalas, kangaroos, wallabies and kookaburras as well as the standard
monkey eating it’s own poo..)
The nightlife there is fantastic, with quirky bars scattered all over the city. My favourite (so far) has to be ‘Bimbo’s’ where we spent an afternoon eating pizza in the sunshine. Although 'The Croft Institute' where there are hospital beds in the toilets and shots in fake syringes certainly was... interesting.
The weather wasn't great in Melbourne, but spring has only just begun and it is already pretty similar to an English summer. We spent one day drinking beer on the beach at St Kilda where we also visited to a vegetarian restaurant called 'Lentil as Anything', where you only have to pay what you think the food is worth.

The hostel we stayed at
is really nice, with a great crowd of people from all around the world who are
all very friendly. We have had some hilarious moments translating slang from
around the globe, I think we need to write down all of the funny phrases people
have come out with. (food poisoning = fish illness?!)
All in all, only one week in and although my liver probably isn’t thanking me I have spent the majority of my time in fits of laughter.
Missing everyone at home, wish you could all be here with me to join in all this fun!

I am currently in sunny Sydney staying with the lovely Laura, Brian and Joe and will blog you all about it when I reach Newcastle!
