Melbourne - english version

Let´s go to the next million city Melbourne – our last destination in Australia.

Actually it would have been a 17 hours’ drive by bus, but we had an overnight stop in Batemans Bay, and so we arrived in Melbourne after only 11 hours.

We have been told that the weather in Melbourne is very fluctuating. If you are unlucky or lucky, however you see it, you can have 4 season in one day. Our record was 3 in one day: spring, summer and autumn, we only missed the snow! :D

Although we had bad weather we did the same free guided tour as in Sydney. A big attraction in Melbourne is the graffiti in the backstreets. Furthermore the Victoria State Library and the Federation Square Center.

On that tour we met this guy from Melbourne. He gave us the advice to go to the casino! :) At the Crown Casino you can become a member of the Crown Club not only for free, but you get a 5 dollar voucher for the casino. You can play or not, what you prefer! What did we do? We played!!!! :D After we figured out, how our chances were either: 0, 10 or 20 dollar we put our 10 dollar on red. 50:50 Chance!!!! And we….. Of course LOST!!!! :D however, how goes the german saying?? Unlucky in game, Lucky in love!! ;)

With a heavy heart we said goodbye to our new friends from France, Julie and Vincent. A very nice and lovely couple! We will miss you and we are looking forward to seeing you soon in Germany or France!! :)

The icing on the cake was Marleens shopping spree at the airport. UGG Boots and some Victoria´s Secret panties at a bargain price!! :)

At 2:40pm our flight to Auckland started, we were very excited!!!

New Zealand – HERE WE COME!!!! :)
