Don’t be deceived. Australia is not as golden as it seems. We experienced cold temperatures, 6 degrees Celsius. I buckled and bought a pair of mitts in Melbourne.
Em Wade and her now fiancé, Aussie football journalist Jonny Ralph, were exceptional hosts, touring us around and putting up with our antics for a week in Melbourne. While we were in town, Em and Jon completed the Run to the G 10-kilometre run, and Drew and I ran the shorter 5-km (Drew surprised us all by placing 88 out of 3,600 with his old school hightop adidas runners).
Melbourne is definitely Australia’s cultural capital – we sampled galleries, museums, diverse architecture, cafes, music and shopping. There are so many different shopping districts in the city that Melbies must spend all their hard earned money on clothes.
