My time in Australia would not have been complete without a visit to Melbourne! I must say I really enjoyed my week in the area. Not just because the city has a very cool vibe to it, but because I was able to spend time with lovely people. My aussie friends Julia and Alex opened up their homes for me, planned activities and introduced me to their friends. I also got to see my Swedish peeps Mikaela and Mattias.

 

I learned that Melbourne has outstanding food and cafés, lots of street art and that Australian football (or "footy") is a really big deal. It's a strange sport with a lot of confusing rules, but still very entertaining. I watched a televised game with Julia's dad, and Alex even took me to an actual game! 

 

Let me introduce Melbourne to you, the way it was introduced to me (sort of).
