Well, it is really up to the individuals. I love to travel alone.....quote from another backpacker: "the stars, the moon are my companion......if you are bored, all you have to do is open your mouth".
I am sure if you are mentally prepared for the trip....then everything is fine. Nothing is alway goes according to plans.....improvised lor.
I think the most romantic place would be a bustop where I am stuck with someone I loved in the midst of a thunderstorm or nowhere. :lovegrin: Sorry lor, maybe you asked the wrong person too......I am a
sadist
Like I said, if you are prepared or happy.....anywhere is home....is love.
Melbourne is surely worthy of holidays.....a very relaxed place. slow paced.....hire a car driving around the country side is even sweeter....no time limits, no aims...just drive. and if worst come to worst....sleep inside the car. can lend you my sleeping bag :bsmilie:
I can teach you where to eat cheap food, accomodation and where to go.....make your trip value for money.
-rent a car when you do need it. Stay in the car if it is necessary. All you need is a place to shower.
-buy food from supermarket.....got roast chicken selling at $4 the whole chicken around 9pm in either Coles or Safeway.
-eat more fruits, cheese or oysters......much cheaper than Sg.
-trams(tourists) around Melbourne central is free of charge
-garden is free....country side is free....seaside too(but abit for that time of the year)
-Sometimes just daze around the city in public transport, while staying at your fren's place can also do.....looking at the way how pple live in Melbourne. Enjoy the cold breeze, fresher air...You can buy one day ticket at abt Aud$10 per person....you can have unlimited travel on buses, trams and trains too....certain places is very serene and free. Still, I don't know why certain pple must go certain places(resorts, amusement parks).
Let me know if you got any questions lor......
