Hustle to the Shuttle!

WHOA! Awesome concert... but late late night. We also assumed that we had time on our side so took a slow meander back to the Shuttle depot.

Yep, so 6:30am in the morning, after 5 hours sleep, after being up for 19 hours and rocking out at P!nk....we were so not bright eyed and bushy tailed any more.......






So Bec didn't see those guys going for the ball there, fractured her cheekbone....

Meanwhile from out of no where comes Cindy went a hangar!!!

Oh man......this was too funny....whilst Cindy could've just gotten into a pose for this.....NO, she had to do the full on bowl.....PLEASE ask her to demonstrate next time you see her

Still assuming we had time on our side, we headed to Federation Square where were found a light/sound display.

"Bec, what is this?"

"I'm not sure..."

"No seriously, what does it do?"

"I think it's doing whatever it's supposed to do!"

These are our last photos. We suddenly realised that we were seriously late! We dashed for the depot and only just made it. Next time we'll leave the hotel earlier!!"

Best mini weekend holiday ever!

Partying at P!nk

Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
I can't help it, I like to party
It's dramatic, it's electrifying

"So how exactly do we get to the Rod Laver?"

"Um, there's a funky looking bridge. Should we take that?"

"Sounds good to me!"
"I hope P!nk likes the present we got her."

Cindy and Bec with Giggles - our present to P!nk!

I wonder if she ever got it. The security guard PROMISED us that he would hand deliver it to her. Hmmmm!!!

OMG! Front row standing positions!! NICE WORK!

Hanging at the Hilton

Bec was totally awesome and managed to score us a room at the Hilton Hotel, only minutes from the Rod Laver.

OMG! Hilton robes! We *have* to take a photo!! "Cindy, do you drink red wine?" "Nah, do you?" "Nah... Meh, let's fill the wine glasses with water and pretend it's white wine!"

And since when do beds have wheels on them? One minute we're on our respective bed, the next the beds have wheeled away and we're on the floor.

No time to fix up the room though, it's P!nk time!
Let's get this party started!

Pausing to watch The Proposal

So DFO wasn't completely satisfying... What to do? What to do? Duh - the Crown! Everyone visits the Crown when they visit Melbourne. It's a given isn't it? OF COURSE!

So we begin our trek from the DFO to the Crown, hand luggage in tow. Has anyone else ever traipsed around Melbourne dragging around hand luggage? Ok so it's not easy. So much so that we took a time out at the Convention Centre. It's public isn't it? We can sit there eating Mars Bar Slice can't we?

The movie doesn't start for another 20 minutes. Time for some more randomness...

Life imitating art?

OMG, Land of the Lost - RUN!!!!!

Getting in the groove, gotta get that rock star pose just right.

Rock it out Bec!!

So Bec's head is about the size of her nose.....can we call her dumbo?

Since when are there allocated movie seats? I wish we had known before separately buying individual tickets. "Bec, I'm in T14, where are you?" "Um, U11."

"Bec, how's U11 going for you?"

"Whhhaaaaaat?"

Road to Rod Laver

It's Saturday the 20th of June 2009, 5:45am. The journey to P!nk has begun. Daring to be different, Bec and Cindy decide to travel from Adelaide to Melbourne to see P!nk in concert. This is going to be a weekend to remember...

"So Cindy, what should we do for 6 hours in Melbourne while we wait to be able to check in?"

"Hmm....I'm not sure.....let's catch the trusty Skybus in and we'll plan on the way..."

It's 8:30am. First stop... Skybus dropoff - DFO.

Did you know that DFO only opens at 10:00am on a Saturday? Ok so, we didn't... So we were left to hover around the complex until trading hours being.

"OMG best idea ever! Let's buy anti-swine flu face masks!! And let's take photos at every Melbourne attraction while wearing the face mask!"

Umm... Is there really a Coles below DFO? How come everyone else seems to know where they're going? Where are the signs? And why are we in a public car park?? How did we get here?

Ok so our awesome idea of buying face masks didn't eventuate. We wouldn't find a pharmacy anywhere! Coles was closed too. Damn you weekend trading hours!

Back to DFO...

"Bec, check out these dudes, are they stylin' or what?"

"Um, Cindy, they're not real."

"Oh."

"Cos I can, and it's 9am in the morning, this place doesn't open until 10am and there's no-one around."

Although how embarrassing, someone from Dianna Ferrari actually saw us taking photos. We tried to pretend that it was the normal thing to do. Yeah so she remembered us hours later. "So, good photo session ladies?" "Um, yeah..."

"OMG, they don't have heads!! What the hell kind of shop is this?!"
