Where’s the sun? lol

That’s the question I’ve been asking myself almost every day since I’ve been here.

Very similar to Vancouver weather, and not necessarily what I signed up for when coming to Australia. I want the sun damn it!

My first few days in Melbourne were interesting? I wasn’t entirely sure what I was planning to do in Melbourne, apart from hopefully seeing a friend for the first time in a few years that lives here, but I didn’t even get to do that. I started my time in Melbourne very similarly to that in Sydney, arriving VERY early in the morning, like 06:00am and making my way to the hostel in order to drop off my bags.

I didn’t get up to a whole lot on the first day to be honest, I was soooo tired and I was counting down the minutes till I could official check in. Before the 15:00pm check in, I went for breakfast at a cute dinner type place and then I also went to the beach in St. Kilda and went for a cold dip, the sun was out at this time so it was refreshing. But then the clouds started covering the sun and it wasn’t feeling as warm, so I put my clothes on and started walking around. After some time I ended up going to look for more coffee and a snack. Trying to read and or play/draw on my iPad as much as I could. Although time definitely felt like it was passing very slowly. I finally decided to go find a park and take a nap. It helped but I got sap everywhere, guess I didn’t pick a good tree to take a nap under.

Apart from that my first few days in Melbourne were interesting. I joined some people from the hostel to the Fitzroy Flea Market and walking around Fitzroy for a bit, it was cool seeing the city from the perspective from a few folks that had been there for a bit. Another day I walked around the CBD, going to the National Gallery of Victoria, a bit of freelance graphic design work, some outdoor workouts, and finishing off with watching a gorgeous sunset as I accepted a job offer and made the decision to stay in Melbourne to work and try to earn a bit of money before going travelling again. Let the new adventure begin and I hope its as great as the sunset I witnessed reassured me it would be.
