I arrived in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia July 2.
I got packed inside a shuttle with these people....off to our 3 day orientation put on by Arcadia.
This is the resort we stayed in for the first 2 nights on Mornington Peninsula.
We saw kangaroos in their natural habitat...
Our first dinner at the resort
Our first night: Cheers to new friends!
The next morning, the 2 girls & I decided to take a morning walk to the beach...
2 of the guys met up with us...
so left to right...this is Jo, Uyen, Jo, & Brendan (yes, the leftmost people are both named Jo)
Later that day, our whole group took a hike around the peninsula...
the waves were AMAZING!
Second night in Australia...
of course, i'm the first one gone
The next day, we went to the city...
Flinders Station
the "lane way shops"
Federation Square
view from the observation building
in front of the Yarra River
The best thing about Australia: the best kebabs & sandwiches ever!
pregaming with wine in our room at The Seville Hotel
at the restaurant...
The next morning, we had to depart from the Melbourne kids (people going to Monash University)
& we were off to Brisbane!
