MELBOURNE ROAD TRIP

Awsome random weekend which was decided half way through the week as I was offered a FREE lift. I love those kinds.
I felt the need to get out of adelaide also, just for a little bit, and with current finances it was difficult to see when I'd next get a chance to head up and see my good friends Kerrie and Blair.
Alex was going to have a meeting with a guy from a Uni, Pete was perhaps going to ask questions but mainly along for the ride and I was going for a surf. Sweet.
Left Adelaide at 6am!! We were all suprisingly awake and Pete's comment of how nice the day was, was heard slightly wrong and will be laughed at and quoted for quite some time!
Did a couple of stops on the way, most prominently at the GIANT KOALA, wicked!! (not a real koala, as emma and rach asked, but a big replica of one. lol)
I even got to do some driving, very exciting and am now trusted once more, after the lads saw the pic of my unfortunate last car im not suprised they were a bit apprehensive.
Got to Melbs at about 4pm - looooooooong day, and guess where we went straight away? The ub of course. Pete and I had a brew while Alex met the guy and we made friends will Emily, who is also from the UK and working in melbourne while travelling.
Got the train down to meet Blair and headed to her mates house (thanks for letting me stay Mac, Alfa and Crack - it's their footy nicknames) where we had an immense BBQ, turning into a few hours at the European Bar in the city (which stinks does not remember!) and then back to theirs where i proceeded to have a nap on couch and then move to bed at 4am!
Up again at 9am, for the ladies to play footy. HA HA GUTTED> Mac was in a terrible state an their was an amusing but disgusting incident with a shoebox. ask if you dare.
had seriously good breakfast burger with Alfa while the rest got ready and then watched the match - trying the grasp the concepts of aussie rules before the crows game.
Blair was stuffed after so I got a train to the city to meet the lads and another mate they'd met up with, Ishita.
Another weirdo encounter while waiting for the train althought this time the guy actually wasnt all there and another man helped me! nice melbourne people.
The 'weirdo' kept saying that one to me and then proceeded to pretend to be some sort of animal, bearnig his teeth at me and getting right up in my face. was quite weird but quite funny after when the man next to me was like "what the hell are you doing, leave her alone" THANKS MR!
Four of us went up to St Kilda to meet Kerrie and had a really nice dinner. 15 dollar steaks - YUM! and amazing wine that pete bought.
I then went to meet Tam for a drink (who i travalled with last time) but just missed her as we were spending too much time on our dinner. poo. come to adelaide please miss!!!
Monday was spent driving back to radelaide and the one stop we had I was not best pleased with as we went to the worst bakery in Australia. Although they did have award winnning custard slices. which was nice.
