Sunsets and Cities

13th March, 2010, 1:24pm, St Kilda (cheap Internet cafe =)

So turns out that the night market was canceled due to threat of rain, which was fairly ironic due to the sunset pics I managed to take on the way there. . .






























But hey, cant really complain. The Night after i went penguin hunting, they come out at dawn and dusk from the breakwater near the pier. No photo's as white flashing light distresses them, but a few more sunset ones on the way



This morning I ventured into Melbourne via tram, which took about 15 mins. It was kind of a pre- wander as I didn't really know what to do or to go and see, but now i know which trams to get, prices, where the trams arrived and such like, so can do another trip later in the week. I never really know what to take photo's of in the cities, more of a landscape kinda girl, but hopefully they'll give you an idea of what the big cities like, Apologies for dodgy exposure, afternoon sun very strong and couldn't reeeeaaallllly see what I was taking pictures of














But yes, very very hot (despite the fact its only autumn, will probably melt in the summer). Freckle update = they're beginning to come through.

Off to look at jobs and stuff, am in St Kilda till Friday, then thinking of relocating, prices are going up cos of the Grand Prix and we can't have that!

Thanks for watching

Welcome to St Kilda, (via Dubai and Kuala Lumpur)

Started Travelling, 07:45 AM Tues 9th March 2010, Bournemouth Coach Station

Arrived Melbourne 03:15 AM Thurs 11 March 2010

All in All about 32 hours, including transferring in Dubai, and transit in Kuala Lumpur

Result = will be reluctant to get on a plane for a while!

On the plus side, after catching some sleeeeeeeep I woke up to a sunny breezy morning in ST Kilda, which as far as I can tell is about 10-20 mins outside Melbourne and so far its pretty awesome. Beach, shops, bars, backpackers, the usual really. Apparently there's a night market on tonight, so will check that one out later on. Photo's to follow are around the beach and pier, a few of the skyline, which I'm assuming is Melbourne, and one of Nando's (that ones for you Amy)

Will leave you there as have 9 mins on Internet left and need to upload photo's

More Later
