Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

Today I didn't realy have much of a plan, perhaps take a wander around the city. However, I learnt that there was a market on Queens Street, a good one apparently. After a short stroll I arrived at the market, which was mighty impressive, the scale of the marketplac and number of stalls is crazy!!! I went and had a look around at the Australian souvenirs, but there was something for everyone, clothes, fruit and veg stalls, meat stalls, the whole kit and caboodle. When I went to go and get money out from the ATM i met Amy from the Great Ocean Road trip!!! I also got introduced to her friends; Gemma and Chiling. We went for a additional wander through the marketplace, indulging in some strawberries before getting the tram to St Kildas (after asking people for directions for a while). St Kildas was pleasant enough, athough slightly dull, quite quiet, we decided to go for a walk along the Pier as the sun had come out, despite it being blustery. After some light refreshments from the cafe at the end of the pier we departed St Kildas and went back to Melbourne centre, where we went to the library so I could catch up writing my blogs :) I was meant to met up with Amy and co, but unfortunately i left the library slightly late and wasn't able to meet them, which slightly annoyed me, so I was a bit bored in the evening. A slightly less exciting day then the ones preceding today, although I look forward to the road ahead.
