Melbourne

So we finally got to Melbourne on tues night.... drove a good 7 hours or so and arrived in the rain, but happy to be here!
So wet we didn't set up camp... Jon got a cabin for himself and I slept in the truck,.... was happy to be warm n dry!
Jon is heading north and I am continuing on in my around Aus journey.... was nice to meet him.. ready for the next adventure with someone new!

Jon left yesterday to head north, and I am glad he did.. got annoying by the last day with him.. just got annoyed by him buying a boat and slowing us down and stopping to fix the boat, then stopping to register the boat, then stopping to check on the boat, i just wanted to GET somewhere... one day we ONLY drove 3 hours.... sheesh.. the next day I made him keep going until we hit melbourne, so we drove a good 7 hours or so.... finally!
So i had two choices from melbourne campsite
1)-head north with a new guy named John, drive fast and straight north to darwin, taking a few days to get there
2)-wait til fri/sat and drive with Mario north stopping to see the sites etc..

So i wanted to leave and just go... but decided I am in AUS to SEE aus.. not just drive through it!
So I took a bus into town and I am staying at a hostel for 2 nights til Mario gets to town!
NOMAD is the hostel and its great... in a room with 10 beds, met a nice guy from UK named Ian but we call him Jacko (nickname) anyways... we walked around last night in the city, was nice out..,. then came back and he gave me his pasta he made.. i love free food!
We went to the bar downstairs to play trivia... its was 80/90's questions... round 1 we got 13/15 right...... round 2 was harder we got 8-10/15 right... so we ended up TYING (spelling?) for 1st place... so we have a drink off.... Jacko won so WE WON trivia!!
We got a $50 free bar tab... hooray... funny thing was we were drinking $3/glass wine hahahahaa
we had a few more of those, then a real drink, but decided to buy drinks for others... love meeting people from all over...
Met people from Spain, Ireland, Scotland, USA, Canada and more... love it

Slept well in a Bed indoors... camping is fine but its cold in the south now.. autumn!

Going to walk around the city today and explore.... take pics etc..
They have a "batman" building just like Nashville... makes my heart happy!
Keep your thoughts n prayers for NASHVILLE as they have had major flooding and are trying to restore downtown with all that water damage :(

Happy to be traveling around and seeing the sites.... life is good!
more pics to come.... sorry I have not uploaded any lately!

Much love to my TRIFECTA girls.... living our crazy lives
Shout outs to Greg n Aimee on their 4th Anniversary today!

I am thankful for free wi-fi, great friendly people and no rain today!!

Ok I am off to see the city of Melbourne... or Melbin to the locals ;)

Cheers
