I was woken at 7am by the people leaving but soon got back to sleep. I was out of bed by 9am. I showered and went downstairs to breakfast (4 Euro). It was basic, but good and then met up with Busabout people out the front in preparation for the Walking Tour. We congregated just [...]

I was up at around 7am, I showered, ate bread with Vegemite, and finally enjoyed my cereal! I was ready by 7:30 and set off for the Hostel where Busabout does their pick ups. Rein had given me his tram pass and I found the big, brightly labeled Busabout Bus quite easily. I knocked on [...]

Much love,Geordie
