Quite a few people back home told me that Melbourne was quite similar to Montreal, and I figure they must be right, because I'm currently in a van being driven up into the Grampians and all I can think about is how I want to move to Montreal. No matter where I travel to, it always strikes me how I don't think of Ottawa as 'home'. I always love Montreal. I feel more at home there than in any other Canadian city. So I'm seriously thinking of packing up and moving there in September. Give myself a few months, learn French, so I can hopefully get a serving job when I get there. Just seems to make sense.
Anyway. Today is my last day in Melbourne, and I wish I had more time here! I'm excited as hell to get out of cities and see more outdoors. Lisa in Perth has already planned an awesome weekend for us, we're going to bike around an island, go snorkeling, see penguins, it's gonna rule. Then up to Exmouth and I'll be starting my scuba course on Monday! From there my plan has been to head up to Cairns, but there was an earthquake there yesterday so I'm not 100% if I'm going to head that way or not. Also thinking of hitting up Brisbane once I have my scuba, I hadn't planned on going that way but I read about an old shipwreck you can dive around and it sounds like something I don't want to miss. Plus D will be around there and he's been awesome to hang out with the last few days so it would be cool to hang out with him again. Yesterday we put on ninja turtle bandanas and ran around the sewers for a few hours with J and CNZ (cute new zealand) guy. Oh yes that's right, on this trip (for once), I'm not crushing on anyone with a British accent as per usual, this time it's CNZguy. Think I'll have to come back to Melbourne for more than just one night at the end of my trip, there's a gig on the 17th of April so I may come back here for that and spend my last three nights here. We'll see.
Now to put the computer away and go see some kangaroos!!!!
