Welcome to Melbourne

---

HI everyone. We got to Melbourne yesterday after a long 12 hour bus ride...Didn't sleep much but hey, that's part of the deal! The thing is, every time you arrive in a new city, you have no idea where you are, no idea where your hostel is, and no idea how to reach it. Sydney was easy, we had a pickup from the airport but Melbourne was the real deal....Rain and an hour of walking in the wrong area...you know...it's always like that.

But we finally found our place (St. Arnaud hostel) a kind of B& B with old furnitures...The staff is jsut great and they really really want us to feel just like home!

We walked a little bit yesterday towards the city...had to run a few trimes because of the rain but it cleared up at the end of the day. Melbourne is very English as in Victorian..It's different from Sydney...It's more relax...i can't realy explain it.

Lots of jobs around here too...Especially in marketing, sales and promotions...no experience needed!!???!!!! So i'm thinking i might do that kind of job back from NZ....We'll see!!

Today, we're walking around st. kilda, the backpackers area of Melbourne....It's still a bit cloudy and not super warm but hey, we can't complain, at least it's not snow!!!

Talk to you soon!!
