Melbourne and Adelaide

So I am now in Adelaide. We hired a car and drove from Melbourne to Adelaide. The Gret Ocean Road has some amazing scenery. The trip was a lot quieter than i had thought it would be. I guess it is still Winter now and there just aren't that many tourists around yet. But it was still good. Melbourne is a great city. We met up with Alex and Melissa (couple we met in Laos) and had a fun couple of days. It was brilliant to see them again and we reaffirmed our intention to do a skydive when we get to NZ. I can't wait. Something really random happened also. I got an email from a German friend, Rike, who told me that she was in Melbourne. It was a complete coincidence and a very pleasant surprise. Here in Adelaide Colin and IS stayed in the YHA but I stayed in a real funky hostel down the road. It was nice to get away from them for a while. I found the YHA kinda boring but my hostel is wicked. Everyone knows everyone and we all head out together. Oh, I haven't told you about the Goon. The greatest traveller invention known to man. A 4 litre box of wine for about $11. Thank you Jebus!!!! Well we head towards Uluru and Alice Springs tomorrow. I hope it'll be all good. A lot of travelling but I guess we are driving across a continent. Wish me luck. Chat again later
