It's my last month in Melbourne and this city is sending me off in the best way possible. So many good things going on, amazing people out there and great coffee to drink. It's always when you buy the ticket to leave a place that you start having second thoughts and want to stay. But I'm always a fan of leaving on a high note and not overstaying in one place. It'll have been 6 months in Melbourne when I leave and while it would have been longer, it's been a wicked time and will leave me wanting to return as soon as possible.
Here's just a snippet of the last days:
Thursday: Free performance of Peter & the Wolf (reliving my childhood with storytelling, music and a ton of kids clapping), exploring the outdoor markets of Melbourne (coming away with 8 avocados left behind the stall because they were too ripe), drinking coffee at some of the best places around, attending a boutique shop's opening party (full on tasting of olive oils, vinegars, dips and an open bar), staying up til 4am watching the US lose to Germany and still go on to the next round of the World Cup
Friday: Watching the NBA Draft in the morning, getting paid to "mystery shop" and visit an amazing tea shop, where I got a full tasting ceremony and then bought a minted mate tea (all of which was paid back to me after), did some more of that bikram yoga sweating, and then had numerous friends over for a six pack party where everyone brought along new beers for everyone to try. Great times, great beers and lots of laughter.
Today: The sun is shining (and the cold wind blowing of course), but it's still time for a run, some yoga, some coffee, some French Toast and chilling before working the hostel overnight. Life is good!
