Day 18 – Gym, More Shopping, Big Screen.

For some reason last night it took me ages to get to sleep. I had arranged with Heather to meet up about midday so I decided that I would actually go and use the gym seeing as I have to walk past it everyday to get to my room.

After the gym I met Heather on the roof where the views are just amazing! I hadn’t been up there yet and it was bigger than I expected. It’s covered in astroturf with a hot tub and quite a few sun loungers. We left the hostel and walked down to the shopping outlet I went in yesterday. The things I wasn’t so sure about yesterday I may or may not have picked up today… I got 5 items for about £35 quid which is alright and 1 of them is a jumper and another is a light jacket which make up for the hoody I lost on day 5! We decided to stop in a little café to chill in the sun and grab a much needed refreshment.

We were still on a mission to find Heather a hat but we weren’t having much luck. We made our way down Bourke Street, which has a lot of big shops on it. After looking in a fair few, a girl suggested we tried Sportsgirl and we were in luck! It may have been slightly higher in price than she wanted but we finally find a hat! Success! We made our way back to the hostel to cook dinner. I decided to have the same as last night as I still had plenty left over.

After dinner we made our way down to Federation Square to watch the Murray V Federer match. I text Lucy, the other girl I met last night, to tell her where we were and to join us too, which she did. It was an agonising match and at the beginning of the 4^th set we made our way back to the hostel to catch the end in the warmth. Fed Square can get pretty windy and the temperature drops quite a bit in the evening. Unfortunately he lost but other than that, it had been a pretty good day!
