Landed on Friday to what was the 2nd hottest day in the history of Melbourne. a scorching 114 degrees. Met Curtis at train station and we came to his place only to turn on the AC and then lose power to a 3 hour black out. Nice. Well, we slept through it, then went out for a lovely walk along the Yarra river, hit several 'underground' divey bars which were accessible only through trash filled alleys. They were quite nice once we got inside. The clubs here stamp your arms with large tattoo like seals. I'm still scrubbing on of them off a couple days later.
Saturday, the temp was a bit better. In the 90s. Managed to work out at the nearby gym, then had a nice lunch down the street and then get some shopping done. More bars and a club on the northside.
Sunday - preparing to head to the Laneway Music Fest this afternoon, then heading to Melbourne Pride afterwards. Should be fun.
