21st september, hanging out around melbourne. Ramsey Street

Had a nice lay in today, againt i don't think there is much we wanted to do actually around melbourne and there is no point going into the city centre where most of the attractions are, because we are gonna to be staying in the centre after today, as we have to take samantha (sorry maybe i didn't say that was the name of the camper) back to wicked campers tomorrow.

So i wanted to go see ramsey street which im sure everyone knows is where neighbours is filmed. im not particually interested which is why i don't want to spend money on a tour to see it, i just want to take a few pics of the street. checked the map and the road is on the otherside of the city, and is quite far out from the city centre, which is why i am glad we are driving there and not doing a tour.

was rather easy to find. i must admit it is not easy driving round melbourne is is a huge city.

as you can see got there took some pictures, paul wasn't really happy taking pics, as he felt strange, because it is actually a road, which you can see is called pin oak court. and actually has people leaving in them. however i didn't care i said they must get this all the time and got my camera out. funny thing was there is a security guard in the street patroling it. after a few mins paul got his camera out. sod them there are only oz's.

so after ramsey street and there is not a sign that says that sorry people. We was gonna take a quick look at a hostel in the centre, but after going on a freeway we shouldn't of been on, apparently i found out, you have to pay to use this freeway, although im not sure how we managed to get on and off it as there were signs saying toll's all around, but we didn't see one, i remember seeing a sign saying unless you have paied to use this freeway or have a voucher you will be fined $500 or something like that, so i quickly got off the freeway. was a bit of luck really no one caught us i think. again must be the luck of the irish as im a shell and some people will know they tend to have bad luck.

so finally managed to get to the centre after driving round for quite a while i stoped and asked for directions, as i could see the centre, but for some reason couldn;'t get there. yes i know a man asking for directinos what is the world coming to, next women my be able to reverse !!! lmao. (lmao = laughing me arse off, incase anyone doens't know, and lol = laugh out loud, i have released that there are some people reading this that may not know these new hip abbreivations. )

so found the city centre, but paul didn't want to stop as it was expensive to park, about $15 hrs. which i think is expensive i must admit, and as he said we are there tomorrow anyway.

so we didn't stay just drove straight out, this time not getting onthe city freeway thing that you have to pay for. got back to camp sight, didn't do muhc. had dinner watched the first half of the ozzie semi finals. not bad, although there doens't look like there is any rules.

played some more cards, and guess what happened, ian won the game, bloody hell not sure what happened there, maybe paul shit out that four leaf glover i was talking about. but ian won the last game of jin rummie. i said i won the championship but claims i didn't.

so got to give samantha back tomorrow, she has done us proud, never had any problems, never hit a kangaroo or anything.
