A trip to the Australian Reptile Park -Â http://www.reptilepark.com.au/ - to be educated about reptiles that will probably kill me and koalas that will probably fall asleep on me.
Highlights of the first day in Melbourne - including a stay at The Langham and a trip to St. Kilda's.
Picture the scene: Clapham Junction on a cold winter's evening, it's a whole eight minutes' wait for a 77 back to the warmth and homeliness of SW17, and there's only the feeble interest of the TK Maxx shop windows to pass the time.
You might be tempted to take a chance on the G1 bus that pulls up alongside. You shouldn't be. It transpires on the crazy course of this tragic single-decker that the route of the G1 is highly recommended only if you: a) Have an hour of your life you don't mind never having again.Having been stuck in traffic as the G1 bus meandered its clumsy way via Clapham South (EAST?! We want to head WEST!) once we got to Wandsworth Common station I had high hopes that we might pick up the pace.
My hopes were realised, in that we did go faster, but they were also simultaneously dashed, as we proceeded to amble ever-increasing miles in ever-decreasing circles around Springfield Hospital, before a wasteful foray into St. George's Grove and the Aboyne Estate, at one point taking a road that Google Maps denies even the existence of (see the yellow point on the Google Map below). Worrying.
Promo for the insanely catchy soundtrack to Rabbids Go Home.
