Goodbye Friend!

Mikaela's last day :(

Well I'm officially flying solo in Melbourne. Yesterday my other half left to start YWAM in Townsville. But not to worry, we sent her off in style!
Good Friday was Mikaela's last official day in town. We began our day with one of the most amazing Good Friday services I've been to, courtesy of Hillsong-Melbourne. Coming out of church the city was the most energized I've ever seen. The area where Hillsong is held is full to the brim with churches, and every single congregation was on the streets celebrating, singing and spreading the message. It was a pretty incredible thing to be a part of.
What a way to start the day!
After church we met up with the friend we had made at our hostel, Ndola, and wandered down to the CBD (central business district). There's been a comedy festival going on in Melbourne for the past few weeks, and at town hall they had a free event going on Friday afternoon. Of course Free is our favourite word, so we stopped by for a couple chuckles.

Last stop of the day was to the FREE Ian Potter museum. We got there with about 30 minutes left till it closed so we had to motor, or risk the wrath of the coat check lady! I will most definitely have to go back when I have a little more time. Probably the most fun exhibit was a techno dance floor that we stumbled upon. I don't know if I personally would qualify it as art, but it was fun nonetheless.
After our trip to the museum, Mikaela and Ndola went for dinner, and I went to, wait for it.... Sign my lease! That right folks, I am officially a resident of Melbourne. But I must say, Hamilton's insanely low rental prices has kinda ruined me forever. Still, nice to be out of the hostel and into somewhere a bit more homey.
This upcoming week is all about tying up loose ends so I can start work. Guess I should also brush up on my uno game, I hear nurses have started playing a lot of cards since I've been off ;)
