Melbourne, OZ

Well, I'm wrapping thing's up in Melbourne, I'm ready to hit the road, sorta. This past weekend, like all before it was a wild one. Friday night was one out with the Irish lads. I've met roughly 20 Dubliners here in Melbourne, and the accent's beginning to rub off I'm told, I've been asked a few times if I was Irish myself. Saturday, I ventured out into unknown parts of the city. I eventually returned to St. Kilda on Monday, what was normally a 20 minute drive. I didn't know about the busted hose in the radiator and it ended up taking an hour and a half to nurse my van back to St. Kilda where I could park for the night. It was interesting to get stuck in an intersection for 10 min. while the engine cooled enough to restart, but it's either a good time or a good story, right? Got the hoses fixed this morning, and am about to head off to the zoo. I hope to finally tear myself away from Melbourne in the next day or so, and start seeing other parts of OZ.
