UGHHHHH IT’S OVER. So sad.
Melbourne was great. People were right…it IS a cool city. I was there for four days and I had no trouble filling them up with lots of museum visits and walking around. I have to say, the city has a bit more character than Sydney. It’s probably the one city where you SHOULD walk down dark alleys…because there’s probably a really cool café down at the end!
Other than Museums, I spent some time going around a few of the neighborhoods…Especially St. Kilda (which houses the historic–and creepy–Luna Park) and Fitzroy (SO many cool cafes and shops!).
For my last night in Melbourne, I went out for a delicious dinner at a vegetarian restaurant (can’t remember the name, but it was some pun on the word “tofu”), and saw Melbourne Theater Company’s production of God of Carnage, with this guy. It was VERY entertaining, and a perfectly nice way to spend my last night in Australia.
So…home I went. I had to fly through Auckland and the weather was SO gorgeous there that I had half a mind to skip my flight home and start the trip all over again! Really, I wasn’t ready to come home. I’ll write again about some last minute impressions of Australia and the trip. I think I’ll definitely need some time to process everything that’s happened! Even though I’m really not looking forward to getting back into a boring routine (and job hunting…shudder), I’m so happy to be able to hang out with all my wonderful friends once again!! I missed you guys a lot!!
The EXTREMELY CREEPY entrance to Luna Park
Bye bye, Australia...sniff.

You’rehomeyou’rehomeyou’rehomeyou’rehome! Thank you for being the best travel-blogging friend a girl could ask for, and for coming home even though the rest of the world is way more exciting than us. That entrance to Luna Park IS VERY CREEPY.
Keep writing! ! !!! I’ll try to too.
