Melbourne at first glance

I am going to do something I don't normally do, write a blog post!  We spent a week in Melbourne at Pint on Punt, located in St Kilda.  The location was great, very easy to jump on the tram and head to the Melbourne CBD (Central Business District), its also a big backpacker area of the city.  We met some fun people there, and it wasn't to pricey either, especially since they charged us $100 too little!  Pint on Punt is a good place to stay for a few weeks, but we suspect they may have had bedbugs.  Most of the residents are backpackers working in Melbourne.  See the full album here.

Melbourne is a neat city.  During our first week here we went from one end to the other.  From St Kilda beach to Federation Square:

Here is Jen looking for penguins as we wait for them to come back from hunting at the St Kilda Pier.  We waited for hours and only ended up seeing one or two, by then it was too dark to see.
