Leaving Melbourne

Melbourne has been amazing! Hot, but still lots of fun. Yesterday, I went down to the beach in St. Kilda, about 20min on the tram. I didn't last very long in the heat but it was a nice spot. On the way back to the downtowm area, I stopped in to the international part of the national gallery victoria. It was free, and air conditioned. Let's see, what else have I been up to? Went and saw "Music and Lyrics" last night. It was cute, and watching Hugh Grant dance like an 80s pop star was hilarious! The night before last, I went down to the botanic gardens area for a free symphony concert. It was quite fun, lots of people out, having picnics in the music bowl.

Tonight I head down/over to Adelaide, again on the overnight bus. Before then, I'm hoping to put up some pictures on the web, go to the aquarium, and perhaps do a bit more shopping in my quest to find a sundress.

In reading about South Australia, I've learned that, in some areas, you can see leafy sea dragons while diving! I'm, well, really excited by that, so I think that'll be my first diving area, I expect. Leafy sea dragons, by the way, are related to sea horses but, well, even more strange looking.

And now I'm off to check out and store my luggage. Very exciting!
