Some pics of the first few days in Melbourne
Odds and sods from before I headed up to Greensboro, now that I’ve figured out the timeline (hard work this, 6 years later)
Post Wedding
I now have to leave the Windsor. Although I felt it undeserving of its 5 star rating, it was nice to have a room to myself and a comfortable bed. The wedding went swimmingly and I was very chuffed with … Continue reading

Lost a day – damn international dateline.
Anyway, I’m in the Windsor Hotel in Melbourne. I can only assume that 5 star means something different here than back home. This place while nice, is a 3 at most. My room wasn’t ready, despite assurances. Food took an … Continue reading

Buying a snotter, US stylee
Went out actually looking for a car today, rather than just using the net. And I found one, eventually – a battered old Ford Taurus for $1995. Not bad nick at all and, more importantly, as mechanically sound as I … Continue reading
Don’t tell them your name, Pike
I got up exceptionally late after phoning down to extend my stay another night. I can’t be arsed with the hostel, so I’m going to look into heading south ASAP. I took a long walk around the town and, as … Continue reading
Border Crossing
Posted from Seattle, Washington, United States. Time to leave Canada. It’s a real shame as I’ve enjoyed it massively. Still, onwards etc. Just bought my Amtrak ticket for Vancouver – Seattle. The grand total was a whopping, huge, extortionate…wait for … Continue reading
