Melbourne & Tasmania

Next stop on our Australia leg......Tasmania......a place I never thought I'd be. We landed in Hobart and went our separate ways. We were here for the Australian Mixed Ultimate Championships, Rob was playing with a team from Perth and I was playing with a team from Sydney. We had tried to surprise Al who was flying in from Sydney.....small world! A 3-day tournament which saw my team come last and Rob's team not far behind. I had so much craic, met some really good people. My highlights include; playing again, seeing familiar faces and making new friends, GOON o'clock 9am, Robin Hood fancy dress, Joel and Jamie, crazy dancing, press-up competitions, my team. A great great weekend, my only lowlight being losing to Rob's team! We didn't see much of Tasmania....next time.

From Tasmania we flew to Melbourne to see Rob's friend Brian who has set up camp there. Brian showed us the sights of St Kilda's (we had just missed the AFL final) and the lads had a great auld catch up! We met up with Ciara (my friend from work) and Fiona (Al's cousin) for some lunch dinner dates......such a nice way to spend time in this cool city. Thanks a million Brian for the fun times!
