After last nights visit to the theatre, we didn't bother setting any alarms - and thought we'd wake up in our own time. Little did we know, our own time was 11.40am! By the time we'd got up, got ready, had breakfast and then finally left the hostel, it was about 1pm! We decided that we'd buy a Sunday Saver tram ticket and ride down to St. Kilda - where we'd visit Luna Park and maybe have a beer with Adam before we leave Melbourne.
When we left the centre it was quite cloudy but when we got into St. Kilda, we got off the tram and it had all cleared - and was really bright and sunny. We went straight into Luna Park, but were disappointed to find that the Scenic Railway (the oldest rollercoaster in the world) was being repaired - so we couldn't ride it. Everything else seemed geared towards children, so we left and walked back along the promenade - looking at the stalls of the Sunday market.
We rang Adam and invited him out for a beer. Telling him to meet us at the Esplanade Hotel. Me, Nikki and Steve got ourselves a beer and then sat out the front overlooking the sea. Not long afterwards Adam arrived... with Ash in tow - he'd finally made it out of Adelaide. We spent the next couple of hours chatting about old times and laughing and joking in the sunshine. When it was time for them to leave we finished our beers and walked to the supermarket to buy some food. However, when we got there we decided we couldn't be bothered to cook and walked back into town to look for somewhere to buy a burger.
On our way back, we bumped into Adam - sat outside a pub called L'otel, who were offering a free bbq to paying customers - we were in there before finishing say 'hello' to Adam. We helped ourselves to loads of food and then found Ash who was sat inside. We spent the next couple of hours pretty much where we'd left off - drinking and having a laugh. We partied through the free bbq, then through free drinks hour and then 2-for-1 hour. I can't remember much about it - but i've seen the pictures and at some point me and Ash decided to swap trousers... and stripped off in the middle of the bar - d'oh! When it was time to leave L'otel we all piled back to Adam and Ash's hostel where we continued drinking... this time goon (wine in a box) until it was time to catch the tram back to the centre.
Catch you later Adam and Ash... it's been a laugh!
Oh, when we were on our way out earlier we found a wallet full of cash on the floor. Being the honest people that we are, well me and Steve - Nikki wanted to take the cash (just joking), we handed it in, and when we got back this evening the guy had collected it... and left us a $25 reward - bonus... honesty pays!
