Leaving..then not..then Eureka tower..then Crown..then home...pro


Drama drama. Andrew's friend Jonathon was supposed to put us up for the next few nights at his place (bless his heart) so one morning we packed up our stuff and Joanne dropped us off at his place somewhere next to Melbourne Uni. What happened was Joanne had a future flat mate coming to inspect her apartment and basically our smelly patacha ways could have affected her opinions. So we arrived at the dude's apartment but he wasn't answering his phone. And he never did. So basically Drew and I had to wait for a good 2 hrs in a crappy juice bar/lobby area of the apartments until Joanne kindly came and picked us up again. Let's just say I wasn't the happiest patacha in the world at that point in time. Oh and the dude finally woke up - at 6pm! Nasty boy.



Anyhoo, I contacted an old friend and decided to meet up with him and head to the brand spanking new Eureka Skydeck - which is the tallest building in Australia and one of the tallest in the world. It also has the fastest elevators in the Southern Hemisphere which is a cool gimmick. Macca (Nathan) showed us where to go and we took a few pictures at the top of the building, the 88th floor, and wasted a bit of time trying to spot famous locations and other important landmarks. After all this 'sightseeing' we were hungry, and decided that there wasn't a better option than Harry's Bar and Grill to enjoy a nice evening meal of some kind. I think I ordered pasta and Drew ordered something similar while Macca ordered a pizza. Oh and I ordered a garden salad too. Healthy boy I am.
