Tuesday - we arrived at night and took a maxi taxi to our hostel - Home @ the Mansion where our friends from IH were waiting for us and they made us dinner (so nice!)
and dinner was kangaroo sandwiches! it was good =)
after this we were so tired we planned to go to sleep - and then we met our roommate Joghan! he's from...Germany i think lol and apparently people just call him joe but we just kinda called him either joghan or johan lol
we had a bet going on how old he was and i won lol cause he's like at least 30
Wednesday - woke up super early around 5:45ish? for the Great Ocean Road Tour which consisted of
the Cape Otway Lighthouse
we ate lunch here and they gave us the traditional bread + sausage bbq stuff and potato salad i think...if i remember correctly but anyways it was a really good lunch!

basically what everyone comes to see when they're on the GORRazorback
i think this is Lochard Gorge...i think haha
this is where some guy saved a girl and they survived through the night in the gorge - it happened a loooong time ago apparentlysteep cliffs...on some beach lol
i think the most significant thing for this is the stairs we were on because Aboriginals would just climb up these cliffs and then this one guy decided to build stairs leading down to the beachalso learned how to spot koalas in the trees! that was cool and we got to see koalas actually walking on the ground! apparently that rarely happens
here's some random facts about koalas: they don't drink water, eucalyptus is toxic so that's why they're sleeping all the time - to create an enzyme that will help them digest it, their pouches point backwards towards their butts and a baby koala's first meal is their mom's crap aka pap (that's what our tour guide said)
so Wednesday was a really really fun day =) except it wasn't over lol after the tour we went to Lygon street to eat Italian food - if you're a guy and you're with a big group of people, the Italian restaurants will try to give you a good deal so we got free drinks =\ the wine wasn't good...
after THAT we went karaokeing in this really dodgy Korean place where we had to leave through the back door but maybe that's because they didn't have a license or something lol
Thursday - wake up! eat dim sum at...red dragon something? lol then went for crepes (i didn't get one) at Melbourne Central and shopped for a bit and then had lunch at another Italian place on Lygon Street (which was totally better than the one from the day before) with our friend from IH who's from Melbourne
after lunch with him and his friends we went shopping at Bridge Street (a street with all these little boutiques) and then went to KOKO BLACK!! which is a chocolate cafe like Max Brenners =) here's the stuff we got courtesy of my friend inky's nice camera
and remember the bet we made about joghan? since i won everyone bought me a hot chocolate haha
then we went to Coconut House nearby for Malaysian food and had a total food coma after that cause the food was so good <3
yea we totally went back to our dorm and took a nap and rested and wrote postcards haha
then around 9-10 we went out for frozen yogurt at Cacao Green which is actually owned by Red Mango - except it has so much fancier things like waffles and cheesecake and blueberry syrup for toppings (that's what i got)
