Australia

I checked into the Travelodge (A$124-A$132 / US$129-US$137) next to The Langham (A$293 / US$307) to save money. I am having serious second thoughts about setting up camp in Melbourne. I think perhaps my friends were right in saying that visiting Australia in winter would lead to a less than enjoyable experience. I do not mind the brisk weather, but there is not as much activity in the streets as I had pictured in my mind. There is a good chance I tour Sydney for a few days.
