Hey up,

Just a quick update (rather than sending emails out!).  I’m now at the rather swanky Base Backpackers hostel in St Kilda and very nice it is too.  I’ve stayed at two nice and clean hostels so far, and two nice and fun hostels – I recommend the latter, although this one seems to be both – VERY trendy.

At the one I just checked out of, I had to use the line “Look, I can live without $35, but either you refund it [for the night I wasn't staying as the staff were irredeemably grumpy bastards], or I tell everyone I meet from Adelaide to Sydney NOT to stay here.  That’ll cost you more than $35.”  Got my money back.  Oh – and the hostel was called “Urban Central” in Melbourne – don’t stay there, it’s nice and posh, but has the atmosphere of an intensive care ward.  Melbourne seems nice – really quite different from Sydney, but I’ve only been here a few hours, so I suppose I’ll find out.

Right – plans are more subnbathing (just hiding out of the midday sun at the moment), and then onto the MCG for a tour and a trip up the Great Ocean Road here.  I’ve also got a BBQ to go to at Nina’s tomorrow night, which should be nice.  Then on Friday I fly to Christchurch on the South Island of New Zealand to get to the England cricket ODI on Saturday.  This means I miss Australia vs Sri Lanka at the MCG on Friday, but there was just no way I could fit them both in

OK, well hope you’re all having a nice week at work, MUWUHAHAHAHA.
