Exploring Melbourne! Captain Cooks Cottage!

Today I am feeling like I am never going to get threw all my posts from our big trip! BUT I must Solider on!! 

Our first day in Melbourne Chris wanted to do a tour of the MCG... personally I would rather stab myself in my eye with a fork then be put through such torture, bahahhaha. So I headed across the road to Captain Cooks Cottage! 

Captain Cooks Cottage can be found in the beautiful Fitzroy Gardens of Melbourne.

Built in 1755, Cooks Cottage is said to be one of the oldest buildings in Australia.

Originally the Cottage was located in Yorkshire, England and was bought to Australia in 1934.

Amazing each brick was individually numbered, packed then shipped to Australia. 

There is a small fee for entering and exploring cooks cottage, but in my eyes totally worth it. Its amazing to see how much life has changed and evolved in time. 

If you would like to check out the rest of the pictures I took from Cooks Cottage head to my facebook page!

*Day Four* Destination MELBOURNEEEEEE! and the BLOCKTAGON!

Rocking up to Melbourne late that afternoon, could not come sooner. We were all pretty much over driving.  

First to find the hotel..... well didn't that end up being a pain in the arse and a hassle. We had no idea that they actually had 3 locations in the suburb with one main office. Of course we had the wrong one in the GPS. So we had to get to the main office, in a busy street where there was NO parking. Keeping in mind we also have a trailer which makes finding a park even harder. After about 3 laps I had the shits and just told Chris to illegally park up a side street. 

On the main street some random dude, probably off his face was running up to cars and banging on their windows. Thank god he didn't come down the side street. It would have scared the shit out of us. 

After about 20 minutes Chris got back to the car and off to the hotel we went. Easy Stay apartments it was called. Ha..... We had to get out of the car to put in the code for the gate on a busy street with our arse end and trailer hanging out. Finally we got sorted and lumped all our crap to the room and unpacked. Only to then relise the friggen toilet was leaking everywhere. Yep was slightly pissed off now! 

So Chris rang reception and they gave us a new room. So we had to repack and lump all out crap down to the new unit. Just was NOT our day. It made it even worse the rooms were not the best. the bathrooms were a dive, peeling paint, mould, dust, blergggg. We were here for 4 nights! 

After having a bit of a rest we decided to go for a drive by of the BLOCKTAGON!!! 

Unfortunately there was no Suzi on the balcony doing a strip tease for us....

OoooOOooops.... to far?
