Exploring Melbourne

Hello!!

We have been out exploring Melbourne this week. Getting used to the trams, trains and buses! It's like a beginners guide to London :-)
Today I (Grace!) ventured down to St Kilda with my cousins Monique and Bianca and we hired bikes and biked along the beach toward the city. The bikes are only $3 for 24 hours and there are bike stands all around the city where you can pay at a machine and pick them up/drop them off anywhere which is great!


Tonight Theo and I are heading out Chapel Street to have dinner with a couple of my friends and Theo's friend Izzy. Apparently there are some really great rooftop bars around that area.

Love and miss you all very much
xoxo

Travel updates - Amsterdam

Hello all :-) I have decided that I will start updating you all through  this blog again as it makes it nice and easy and is also a nice recount to look back at. We are currently at Amsterdam airport, our flight leaves at 7.10pm for Barcelona. We have had a lovely time in Amsterdam. We stayed three nights at the Amsterdam Forest Hotel in Amsterveen. About 30 minutes from the city via bus. We thought we got a pretty good deal staying just outside of the city as we were able to see the normal daily lives of the people here as well as the tourist centre in the city. Amsterveen was absolutely beautiful, quiet and serene. With small canals weaving their way through the roads. Everyone rides bikes here. There are bike paths that are especially for them, so the roads are actually very quiet, apart from buses. No one wears helmets either which is funny because there are bikes everywhere with children hanging off them. Parents with younger children even have long bikes with carriages...

Arrived Safely!

We have arrived safely in wet wet London! We had no idea that when we arrived London had just received an entire months worth of rain in ONE night. All the trains were delayed and it was IMPOSSIBLE and quite dangerous trying to fit into them. There were throusands of people pushing and getting stuck in the doors. Proved pretty difficult with our massive packs on our backs! We were thinking 'oh my gosh is this what it's going to be like!' Thank goodness we found out it was due to flooding.  This didn't help that all the commuters needed to be home to vote (I'm sure you've seen the news). Our Airbnb accommodation had emailed us to let us know that he couldn't have us anymore. It took us a long time to find somewhere within our budget, finally found a place for the week! We have been to our appointments with our consultant to sign contracts and get all our information sorted. He has organised our bank appointment to set up accounts too. We are spending this wee...
