Melbourne with the girls

So after a lovely night in Brisbane - dinner at the riverside we took a flight to Melbourne. We chose to stay in Stay in St Kilder as this was recommended to us by a few local Aussies. Not sure what to make of St Kilder really - some cool and treny bars and nice places to eat - but on the flip side - lots of prostitutes, the beach pretty much like Gt Yarmouth and english beach resort!!!

Still first night we met up with Danny and Zac as was their last night in Austrialia. We met them, Terry and Andrew (Amanda's cousins' fella) in the casino where we put on a few small bets but mainly had a few drinks.

Nect day, Terry missing his boy gang, took us girls on a tour of Melbourne...

Apart from the Southbank and shopswe went to a few cool bars... one roof top terrace bar was really cool..

And then on the way home a bar under a bridge on the river - 'pony fish bar' as it was friday everyone seemed to be here after work...

That night we headed to ST Kilder for dinner and a few drinks... dinner was lovely at a place called Vineyards, then a few drinks in a hotel bar with live 'austrailian rapping' (not so cool) and then we headed to a place called Apartment 29... where we ended up playing giang jenga....

The next day Amanda's 'friend' Ben - took us on a tour of Phillip Island. Unfortunately the weather was took cold for surf lessons as promised by Ben but we still got a good tour and visited a koala conservation area (The Lisa'a had not seen Koala's yet). ...

and some wild wallabies..

some awsome coastlines and beaches...

The next morning before our flight we headed back to the city and had a look around the shops.... people say you either love sydney or Melbourne - i think its pretty to like both...... Melbourne reminds me more of being back home, but i guess its more chilled than sydney and the southbank area is really pretty - but when the weather is good i think syndey has more to offer - so many beaches to visit and also a beautiful habour - i guess you have to make up your own mind!!!

As for Terry and I, we are thinking Sydney - maybe more chance of work and definately days off on the beach!!!

Anyway I still had a few days left with the girls before they flew back - so back to Sydney for us!!!
