after the longest flight of all time

Hello!!! After over 35 hours of travel time, I have finally arrived in sunny Melbourne!! It was a very long, tiring trip and it felt like I would never get here (and it didn't help that the plane food was revolting and my tv was pretty much broken), but I did! Its about + 30 and i'm loving...

Melbourne drives me crazy

Any good Melburnian tourists know that means its time for the final match! Well, you do not even need to be a good Melbournian what happens. Or even a Melbournian for this question. It seems the game is all people talk. There are more than all advertising signs, many television commercials are...

"I'm Leaving On A Jet Plane..."

The Year of the Rat - Night 123

I woke up in time to check out at 10am, probably smelling like a goddamn bar rag. Still drunk, I showered, stored my belongings in a locker and then retired to the upstairs lounge to nap for a bit on an outdoor swing. As luck would have, this, my last in Melbourne, was finally a pleasant...

St. Kilda - Night 122

Mid-morningish, after another breakfast from the market, I caught a tram down to Melbourne’s beach playground, the suburb of St. Kilda. The St. Kilda Festival has been running all week so I had hoped to indulge in some carnival food and breathe in the general merriment of a summer festival. ...

Olympic Park - Night 121

Needing a change in scenery, I changed hostels today. Thus much of my morning was spent packing and relocating. After another lunch courtesy of the market vendors I began a grand walkabout through Melbourne’s inner neighborhoods. My trek began heading north on Lygon Street, the Italian...

Crusing the Cultural Capital - Night 120

Melbourne is known as the cultural capital of Australia so I figured I should spend a day or two taking in its essence of grandeur and high society. My first stop was the Victoria State Library. Part functioning library, part museum, the VSL is located in a grand old, domed building on the...
