He wasn't happy about it, but the Beave' was up early again this morning. We woke him up just after 6.30am and he sulked until it was time to leave. When the car was finally loaded and we were on our way at just before 8.00am, he took about 10 minutes to fall back to sleep. He later argued he was awake for about half an hour, but couldn't tell me what was out of the window further than the hostel car park!
We stopped enroute back to Melbourne for a coffee and cookie in a McCafé, before arriving back in the city at just after 12pm. We then checked straight into our new hostel - Discovery Hotel - and then took the car back. Because it was at the end of the road where our hostel is, we then came back and had some lunch.
This afternoon we went for a walk around the shops. Eventually Nikki said she was going to go off on her own - to look for birthday presents for a certain someone... ME! (it's only 11 days now), so we went to the library and I used the internet. After an hour she came back (empty handed I must disappointingly add) and we walked back to the hostel.
Tonight, we got ourselves ready and went out for the night. We started by going for a drink in a British pub called The Elephant & Wheelbarrow (like the one in St. Kilda) and then afterwards we went to the theatre to watch the Phantom of the Opera. The show was really good, and the music was fantastic. It was quite hard to follow, and in the interval we had to ask the Beave' (who's seen it before), what was going on.
Just as the play was getting to it's climax some woman at the back of the theatre started to make loads of noise and was hissing and swearing (like something from the Exorcist). Everyone was looking round to see if it was part of the show... well, until the swearing anyway - then we knew it couldn't be... unless Andrew Lloyd Webber has had a rethink about the direction he wants the story to go in!?
When the play eventually finished and we were all leaving, we were ushered around a woman led flat out on the floor. We had no idea what was wrong with her because she wasn't in the recovery position, she was just led flat on her stomach (as if someone had sedated her or she'd been knocked out). Hope she's ok now!
The Phantom of the Opera is here... in Melbourne. I know because we saw it!
