So i spent my last few days pretty much staying out of the rain in melbourne. it was extremely cold and rainy there - i contemplated buying mitts and a scarf because it was so cold. but then i thought 'its alright -soon enough i'll be in brisbane and it's nice and warm there!'...unfortunatly thats not the case. got here today and its rainy and overcast! what the heck!?
oh well - my last day in melbourne i spent taking the tram here and there - went to chapel street which is like a HUGE whyte ave with lots of shops and cafes on it - the main purpose of my trip was to find the only lululemon store in australia. which i did find. and sure enough prices are more expensive then at home so i left empty handed. I then trammed it downtown to a pancake place which was being advertised in the train station and had 2 pancakes and a coffee for a whopping $11.70!!! those were the best damn pancakes ive ever tasted thats for sure.
during dinner (i just ate toast and jam because i blew my daily spendatures on tram tickets and pancakes) i met a girl named shannon from new york who is going to school in brisbane. she was very cool - also a guy from germany named chris. we hung out most of the evening. shes getting back to brisbane tonight at around 7, said she would give me a call cuz there is a nice live music bar in the area where my hostel is in so perhaps i will meet her later.
today i booked 10 nights in a resort in bali here is the blurb:
Baleka Beach Resort (two stars) www.balekabeachresort.com
Situated in the heart of Legian, with the beach only a short 5-minute walk away, this small 45-room hotel has great rooms for families or a group of singles travelling together
i guess i am neither a family or a group of singles but thats alright. for 10 days including breafast eachday and a free kintamani volcano tour it was $315 so thats not bad i think!? I decided that i dont think i could afford 21 nights in a resort and now that ive picked up my southeast asia lonely planet guide i can scope out the island for 10 days and find the best backpackers retreats to spend my remaining 2 weeks.
other then that all is good - the hostel im staying at kind of sucks but im used to that sort of thing haha and tomorrow chris is coming! im so excited! we get a whole day of catching up and then out to noosa it is for me for my last week in australia. im so dumbfounded by the idea that im actually leaving australia. ive been here for so long it seems but at the same time it dosent seem long at all. so strange
much love to everyone

Hi AliaBee;
Daddy and I just got back from the lake. We painted out way out the door, packed up the cats and left. It seems like we have been there forever, but only a week. We did manage to get everything we planned, done. Our May working holiday is over. Even though the weather was terrible, lots of people came out for the May long weekend. Steve and Coreen have bought Mr. and Mrs. Phillips place and everyone was out there again. Chrissy and Richard were out with Sandy and Kerry. We had a good time. Got to sit around the Tymafichuk firepit two nights! Lots of love.
Mamma and Daddy
hi alia.
hopefully you met up with chris. that should've been nice. you have been gone so long, i'd say come home, but i want you to finish your trip, and explore some more. (im living my travelling dreams through you, like many others are... right now. lol)
the weather hasn't been too nice hear either... but it's supposed to get better, hopefully it does for you too so you can get your tan on again.
oh i can't comment long this time, i've really got to start supper, and brooke is climbing on me, and im typing my her finger. lol.
okay lots of love, from both brooke and i. :) :) (we look alike don't we.. he he)
