After working a few months we've started replenishing our bank accounts and now can venture out more. Our first trip was a short jaunt to Melbourne for an extended weekend. We had heard from many Aussies that Melbourne is a great city to enjoy shopping, food and most of all coffee by winding your way through their neat spray painted back alleys. We flew right from Newcastle to Melbourne and enjoyed the next 4 days drinking coffee, stuffing our faces with delicious foods, shopping, seeing the AFL footy and meeting up with old friends. One of Andrews best friends from Uni, Jake was living in Melbourne so we spent lots of time with him catching up and seeing the sights. Jake showed us around the streets and to some great pubs, one in particular was set right on the river with a great view of the city. Later that night we all met Kane, our friend we met while travelling on the Andaman Islands in India. It was fantastic to reconnect in another country! After fighting the hangover blues we met up with Piers and hit Etihad stadium to watch the Bombers crush St. Kilda! It was a great time! We learned a lot about AFL, but most importantly we learned to constantly heckle the opposing team's fans when their team made mistakes! A good pal of ours named Joe came to visit us for a day. We met Joe on Havelock Island in India at a dive resort and he liked us so much that he followed us all the way back to Newcastle! We were hoping to show him a good time but we never could have imagine how awesome the day would come to be! Then the next day we got this close to the dolphins! Some of them swam under us a few times! We were so close we could have definitely touched them! A local photographer for the Newcastle Herald caught this awesome moment! The next day Piers called us and couldn't believe what he was reading in the paper. Surf
