Melbourne Camp
For my school Compass award I needed to do trip that goes for 2 days and 1 night so my class planned a trip to Melbourne.
Day 1:
I had to get up at 5:00am to make it to the train station and it took 2 hours to get to Melbourne. The first thing we did was go to the aquarium. I took a bunch of photos of lots of strange looking fish. Maybe I'll post some. I don't know. We went to this rock climbing place. I was terrified at first but I eventually gathered enough courage to make it to the top. Go me! lol We got to go to the Victoria Market! It had heaps of stuff but the only thing I brought was a MCR t-shirt. It is way too big but I don't really care. Too big is better then too small. Ice skating was next. It was okay at first. I'm definitely the most uncoordinated person ever. At least I only fell over 3 times. Did you know that ice is very hard? The second time I fell I really hurt myself. I sprained my left wrist, made my lower back bruise and swell up, bruised my right hand and I now have a blister on my foot. My left wrist had to have an ice pack but that didn't stop me from getting back on the ice. But when I fell over again it made my wrist hurt again so I thought I should stop. My teacher had to carry my bag for the rest of the day and I had to use my friends tie as a sling. I had a lot of pizza for tea (Sonia: finally I get pizza!!). Then we spent ages trying to get to the place where we were gonna stay the night.
Day 2:
The next day we caught a train to the zoo. The zoo was awesome! I saw monkeys, orang-utans, lions, snow leopards, tigers, platypuses, elephants, turtles, peacocks, meerkats, lots of snakes and lizards, bears and GIRAFFES!!! (Sorry, I just really like giraffes...) At this point I was starting to hate everything: it was getting hot, my feet were aching, my shoulders hurt, I was tired and my wrist was bandaged. We left the zoo at around 12. (Mili: I didn't see any koalas. =P) The next 2 hours we were at IMAX theatre watching a movie. It was an okay movie, I guess. Then we went around to a few stores to see if we wanted to buy anything. I brought my sister a Nightmare Before Christmas belt form Jay Jays. =) And then we just got the train back home.
Now I'm back at home with a sore back, wrist, arm and foot and I have a headache, a sore tooth and a really bad cold. I hate everything.
Thanks for reading my useless story. =)
