Freaky Frankston

We've finished working at the sweet factory now and are quite sick of Bertie Beetles so the collection we've accumulated might be with us for a few weeks. We had a quiet week, trying to save up money so that we can finish Melbourne and head north for some sunnier weather. The van dislikes the cold as much as we do (when we say cold, we mean we have to wear a jumper in the evenings).

St. Kilda is our current location but we've just been staying in a place called Frankston. Frankston is hard to describe but if you can imagine a town where everyone is a village idiot, that's about it. We walked into town on our first day and watched a lady trying to push open an automatic door.

We've just arrived in St. Kilda which is by the sea not far from the centre of Melbourne. The beach is a bit like Bournemouth but not as busy (at this time of year at least) and the town is a bit backpacker and a bit trendy. So far it seems OK although we've been here for a few hours and three people have asked us for spare change. This week we're going to try and arrange a bit more work and also see some more of the city so that we can tick it off properly.

Hope you all had a nice Easter weekend and we'll update the blog soon...
