Diary of a man down under - Day 21

By neil, 9 March, 2011

So I've actually managed to write something for every day I've spent in Oz!

Just had a leisurely day around Melbourne today. Was a bit wet this morning, so couldn't really do too much. Plus spent some time packing. The hotel wanted to charge AUD60 for a late checkout, and even that was only till 4pm; so decided to checkout this morning and leave suitcase at the hotel. They've said I can use the gym to freshen up and get changed before I leave for the airport.

Had a visit to the Victoria Parliament Building this afternoon. Not a long tour, but you do het to visit the 2 Chambers and the gardens, along with a little history.

With the photos taken today I believe up to this point I have 1347 images captured! Some of those I will discard as they are just for reference (eg closeup images of plaques so I can remember who statues are in photos, place names, maps, etc). I will probably upload them a couple of folders at a time as I get the chance to process the images. I'll try and drop updates on here, or just keep an eye on the photos page of my site: http://www.nshaw.co.uk/photos/

This will probably be the last update to the blog from Oz. I will try and drop in an update at the secret stopping-off point using their free wifi, and I'll drop something in once back at the Secret Location!
