Back in Melbourne

Well, made it back to Melbourne, and uploaded pics.

This is a sampling of what I have taken, and shrunk down. I guess that's all to say for now.
Maybe heading down to Wilsons Promontory later this week.

Still traveling

Well, back in Port Cambell on the way to Melbourne. It was nice tofinally be heading WITH the wind instead of against it. It makes a bigdifference on a bike.Still have only seen one kangaroo in the wld and it was roadkill so thatdoesn't really count. I did find a mutant banana in Warnambool and hadexciting visits to CheeseWorld in Allansford. There have been somesunny beaches and some with bigger breakers than I have seen before.Saw some Right whales in Warnambool, which was very neat. More later!

Been traveling

So I've been on the road for a while now... almost two weeks. I've taken lots of pictures, but am having a hell of a time uploading them. I'll try when I pass back through Melbourne in a week or less. That's the plan anyway.
So.. We travelled the "Great Ocean Road" against the wind from Geelong to Warnambool. In Warnambool now, probably heading back toward Melbourne tomorrow, then down to the Promintory south-east of Melbourne. Hope to have pictures soon...

Heading out

should be heading out of Melbourne tomorrow (that's the plan anyway!).
John's here and we are ready to go. We are trying to go to the zoo today because animals are cool.

Picture

Got a pic of me. Look and see! :)

got a bike!

Hybrid tires, comfortable... cost $150 AUS but i think it will be worth it... maybe I can sell it for $50 when I'm done with it.

Still don't have a bike...

but I should be able to get one tomorrow. The thrift shops seem to just not have them.

Gone out, came back

Had a night out with the boys. It was lots of fun. :)
Still awake... not sure if I am tired yet.

Home?

So, I am feeling far away from home. It's odd... I am feeling more culture shock here than when I went to Europe. And the native language is English here. :-p
Not sure what I want to do when I am done here. Will be bumming around for the next few months, seeing the coast. It will be very calming. Right now I am soaking up a lot of culture.

There!

Made it to Melbourne!
After a few short hops, then a 12 hour flight to Hong Kong, then an 8 hour to Melbourne. And the 12 hour being between a couple with a todler and a mum with a 3 year-old. Ugh. I spaced out on my books. Read 2 and 1/2 books during flight times and the time in the airport. Anyway, Kristy's wonderful! :) More later... :)

And so it begins

This will be my journal/log/thing while I am traveling Australia. It is exciting! Yay!
