January 13, 2012 MELBOURNE

Today we arrived in Melbourne. It is a lot cooler here than it was in Brisbane and Sydney. We got to RMIT which is where we are staying and I skyped with my mom a little bit. Then Emily and I went to an amazing authentic Italian restaurant for lunch. Then we met up with everyone and headed downtown to the  federation building. Its very modern but very poorly designed to be a public space.

Then we went to the botanical gardens which I though was even more culturally diverse than the Brisbane gardens.

After that the whole crew headed towards the street where all of the good restaurants were and went to a place that was having half off drink specials. We drank a few long island ice teas and martinis, ate dinner and then headed back to the university. Tomorrow we are doing a bus tour of the 12 apostles which are supposedly rock formations on the cost. Hopefully it'll be interesting. Goodnight everyone!
