And also as I said before, its quite cooler than I expected. In the sun its really nice but the wind is cold. I tried to find a sweatshirt today but the shops were already closed - they only seem to be open 10am to 5pm. That would not fly back home! :)
Anyway. Me & Amy & Rosie (both from England, both solo travellers I met on the bus from Sydney) walked from St. Kilda, our hostels quirky neighborhood, to downtown Melbourne proper. Mistake. It was a long, boring walk along a highway & practically every other car honked or waved or shouted something. I mean really?? Have you never seen girls before? Weird.
Waiting to meet Sarah (from Switzerland, also a solo traveler on the bus with us) at Flinders St. station, we found an adorable cake shop & stopped in for a tiny cupcake & coffee (pictured).
Vitamin C in large doses and Zicam if you can find it. I'm following my own advice as we have about 50% of staff out with flu and phneumonia! We've gone so far as to install hand santizer stations at the elevator on every floor. Another reason to be thankful you're on the other side of the world. Stay warm and enjoy your new friends. Love U, Mom
ReplyDeleteDitto on that advice.
