30 days in Australia – UPDATES FROM DOWNUNDER
Lots happened since I last posted, but it’s hard to keep a daily blog with pictures and comments the way I have been doing it. My days have been quite filled, and I’m using a loaner laptop that’s not quite the powerhouse I’m used to.
So where am I right now ? Byron Bay. It’s the blues fest and even though it’s $160 for a day pass, I might just go later on today after I either surf or go for a hike to the big light house. But lets back track just bit. So far I spent almost 2 weeks in Melbourne with my friends Suzie and Andrea. That was awesome. 5 stars all around ! More on ratings in upcoming posts. I have yet to blog some of my time there. There’s the rest of the Ocean Road trip, a Footsie game, an engagement session, and… Continue reading

30 days in Australia – Day 2 – Waking up in Melbourne
I wake up. Wow, I can’t believe I’m in Australia! Suzie and Andrea are working today but they suggested a few places to visit in Melbourne today. After responding to a few e-mails, I’m finally ready to go. They told me how to get to the bus stop from their place. So I get out of the house…
and I already forgot which way I’m supposed to go! Bravo! I go left and walk a bit. I soon realize I took the wrong way. As I stood still on a street corner like an idiot, I stumble upon an older fellow who asks me if I was lost. I guess we could say that. We strike a conversation and he suggests that given the time (2pm) I should go to Highpoint shopping center instead of the city (they call downtown the city). I’m thinking why not. I need to… Continue reading
