Gotta love overnight traveling

For pictures that go with my last blog, please see Melbourne's photoes at http://uwo.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2104020&l=18947&id=58000349 and St. Kilda at http://uwo.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2104030&l=a79fa&id=58000349. On our last day in Melbourne I wanted to go to the Victorian Parliament building (also the old Australian Parliament) for a free tour. So I dragged Stephanie along and I had fun, becasue, well, I like that stuff. There's a good picture of me yelling from the speaker's chair, but for some reason they didn't let me sit in the Queen's throne. Something about respect, I don't know.

Yesterday night we flew to New Zealand. It was an overnight flight and it arived in Hamilon (which is about 150 km south of Auckland) at 2:00 am. We ate an incredibly juicy burger at an all night burger joint and then took a coach up to Auckland at 5:00 am. We eventually got in to our hostel at 7, but check-in wasn't untill 10, so we slept on the sofas in the cafe for 3 hours. Needless to say I'm quite tired now, which is partly why I'm on the computer now instead of exploring the city more. Anyway that's just a small update. Soon I will be exploring the world's playground - aka New Zealand.
