17 March 2008 – Melbourne

We decided to stay on another day in Melbourne to recover from the grand prix. It’s still really hot, about 40 degrees. Kathmandu had another sale, so we departed the store; arms loaded with yet more stuff. We really need to get out of this town before we spend any more money.

So much for recovering. I didn’t have the afternoon nap I promised myself, and ended up gambling at the casino until 2am. As it was St Paddy’s day I decided to gamble with the green chips ($25 ones) and ended up losing a load of money. It’s definitely time to leave this town!
