Sunday Summary #12

Living in Melbourne

Hello ,

Welcome to An Urban Journey’s twelfth Sunday Summary. This edition of the Sunday Summary was written in our Airbnb from Melbourne, Australia. Here’s a quick recap of what happened last week and what’s to come:

Last Week.

During our last few days in Brissy, we tried to explore as much as possible. One evening we ran a few miles down the river walk, and ended with some drinks at Felon Brewing Co and another day we wandered around the botanical gardens. We really enjoyed Brisbane and were sad to leave, however we travelled to a new city, Melbourne!  

• Travel day. Our flight from Brisbane to Melbourne was delayed because of storms and the high amount of rain. However, we were happy to hear rain is starting to fall, although a lot more is needed!  

• Celebrating Elliot’s birthday by eating pizza and enjoying some delicious boba tea in Melbourne.

Yesterday we released a vlog, which you can access here if you missed it:

• Busing Across Uruguay | Colonia del Sacramento to Punta del Diablo

Vlog #30 will be released tomorrow at 8am EST, so stay tuned for that as well as many more vlogs in the upcoming weeks!

This Week.

We’ve been in Melbourne for a few days, and are starting to feel comfortable here. We will be here for an entire month. We want to continue running, exploring parts of the city, and trying out their multitude of coffee shops! Here are some of the things we’re looking forward to:

• Exploring more cafes in what some people call the ‘Coffee Capital of the World’

• Celebrating Australia Day by eating a traditional Aussie meat pie with mashed potatoes, smashed peas, and gravy and/or ketchup. 

• Taking Sailing Lessons in Melbourne for the first time. 

While we are significantly behind on vlogs, if you want to find out what we are doing presently, check out our instagram stories @anurbanjourney.
