I officially arrived one week ago and cannot believe it has only been a week. It seems like I've known some of these people for months, and there has already been enough fun and drama to fit a month already. Yesterday we went to the Melbourne Zoo and saw awesome animals like koalas and wallabies and everyone but me it seems got to see an adorable platypus swimming around in circles. I only got a picture of the sign. Oh well.
After the zoo I left early to run errands before Eureka tower. Just trying to find a 7/11 was SO much harder than I thought. I saw one way up on Royal Parade St so spent 20 minutes walking to it to learn that it's closed until the next day, well today. So I kept walking to see if there would be another one, ended up in these suburbs in the outskirts of Melbourne city and decided to just walk back the other direction. An hour and a half later, I finally arrived at another 7/11 where the only items on my list that they had were tim tams and an atm. But at least it was exercise!
Since it took so long to find the 7/11 we were running late to get to Eureka tower, which of course we had no idea how to get to even though it is the tallest building in the city (rivaling some in the world!) We took the tram down to the city and were told by our host to wait under the train station, which we did for 20 minutes until we got a frantic call that we were in the wrong place and holding the group up and we needed to leave asap, so a host had to come find us and run to the tower in this giant mess. We both felt so bad but what can you do. It was worth it though! The views from up top the tower were amazing and we didn't have to pay to go see it later! A win all around!
Tomorrow we leave at 10 am to move in to our actual apartments! I could not be more excited, although I'm not looking forward to actually paying for food again and having to pay for internet, so you all might see less of me than I have been the past week or so. Why is everything so expensive!?
