I had a really good trip down. The old boy next to me was a gold and opal miner up in the mountains and was famous for discovering an opal fossil of a huge sea dinosaur. He was a really interesting guy and we had a lot to talk about.
After we arrived in Melbourne Ken, the gold miner, showed me to my hostel. Unfortunately they had no room so in the baking heat I trekked half way across the city to another hostel who could take me. When I arrived, they offered me a job!
I start on Sunday as a travel agent!
I unpacked my stuff and came back down and who do I see sitting in the bar but Joe Katz. My friend I sat next to in biology and business studies at college. We had a bit of a catch up and enjoyed a bowl of cuppa soup and pasta when Jen and Rich, my friends from China arrived.
We had a good catch up and I monologged about pandas a little to much.
I bummed around most of the next day until it was time to do a bit of work training. I then went for a walk and met up with Rich and Jen again. We took a stroll along the river bank then had some beers back at their hostel.
We made some waves playing the cerial box game in the corridor. Rich was a very worthy competitior and we both were able to pick up a pen from the floor. Although Jen is very very young and supple and looks no older than 19* she was unable to pick up the beer box in the first round. Maybe it was her big Morton's toe throwing her off balance.
We had a great time and a lot of laughs. I definitely picked the wrong hostel as theirs is around 80% populated by very very pretty women!
*I know you are reading this Jen, sorry for calling you late twenties in an older post!
