'Neighbours..everybody needs good neighbours!!'
Lol I've got 4 days here..weathers kinda cold tho brrrr

Day 1:
Got into Melbourne from our overnight bus at 8am sunday morning. Walked and found our way to Nomads hostel but couldn't check in til 2pm! Decided last minute to do a Phillip island tour.
Went to: Moonlit sanctuary and saw Emus, Dingoes, Koalas, Owls, Wombats and Wallabees. Unfortunately the Tazmanian devil was sleeping! :(
Went to: Churchill Island, saw sheep sheering and boomerang throwing. Went to a chocolate factory and Woolami beach and a Koala conservation centre.
Then FINALLY to Phillip island to see the little Penguins! It was amazing! They all came out of the water in groups after sunset! Soo cute! :)

Day 2:
SUCH a lazy day! Slept til 12 n didn't get out of bed til like 2! Got up to book our NEIGHBOURS NIGHT! :) left0 at 6:15 and waited around for ages in the pub, then Steph Scully, Dr Karl and another neighbours star came out! They came round to everyone for pics and we did a quiz which we didn't win. :(
We got to write questions to the stars and I wrote to Karl 'can you serenade me tonight? And he did! Both me and Laura!
They had a singing competition and because I sang loudly 'god save our queen' the host was forcing me to get up so I forced Laura to get up! We sang 'Neighbours' and forgot the words a bit so got BOOED! Loool. The embarrassment!
Later we watched Karl's band play, pretty decent actually. Had a chipbab and went home, its quiet on a Monday! Yay aine was in our room :)

Day 3:
Next day another lazy one. Didn't do much until going out that night. Mine, Laura and Aine's last night out 2gether! :( we had a couple drinks in Nomads bar then went onto Fitzroy - the black cat. REALLY chilled out! We met up with a few of Aine's friends and went to another area to find a club. Apparently Melbourne's quiet on a tuesday too lol. We couldn't get into Cheers bar because we only had our driving licences (needed passport) so ended up in Room. Pretty decent music, had a good night :)

Day 4:
Went to Melbourne museum. Had to wake up early coz check outs at 10. :(
The museum was really good! There was a mind and body section, a section with LOADS of stuffed animals, underwater section, bugs section, a 3D cinema film about volcanoes etc.etc. I learnt so much!
Got on our bus back to Sydney at 8pm. Its actually more comfortable than the first one! Can't believe going to Fiji in 2 days!! Bye bye Melbourne!
