Old friends in Melbourne
The past few days have been wonderful as I have been escorted all around Melbourne by both new and old friends from Melbourne. I feel as though I have covered the city rather extensively at this point seeing each end of the bay and everything inbetween. Stuck my feet in the ocean only to discover that the water is colder than the northern California coast. I suppose being so close to Antarctica has something to do with water's chilly temp.
On Tuesday I met up with Henry, one of the three Australians I befriend in Prague, and we went out for lunch and walked all over the city near downtown and the riverside taking in sites and eventually met up with Cat, the second of my friends from Prague, and had dinner at a few of their friends' house. Afterwards we went out for desert and drinks.
Yesterday, I met up with them again and they took me all around to a few sites including a mansion, winerery, fish and chips (an Australian favorite) and lots of other fun neighborhoods of the city. They also insisted that I try the pride of Australia: Vegemite. Can't say I'm too fond of it. Forunately, I heard that it is banned in the US so I have an excuse not to take my tube home with me....shucks.
Tonight I am meeting up with Henry and Cat plus friends to join them in celebrating their graduation from university. Should be a fun night and then tomorrow morning I have an early flight to Tasmania. Will relax the rest of the day and then early Saturday morning my action-packed 5 day trek kicks off!

I just left you a Facebook message, but I figure there's no such thing as too much love - or comments.
I'm glad to hear you're enjoying Oz. Is it odd to be able to eavesdrop again? How do the hotties compare to other countries?
Miss you mucho and thanks again for all the emails and postcards.
Lotsa luv,
Lo
