Good morning adventurers.
Good morning.
From up here in Cairns
We are up kinda near the northern tip of Australia
But there is still so much of this country that we haven't seen
So today we are heading down to Melbourne, which is one of the other cities that we wanted to see before we leave
Of course, we don't have time to see all the cities
We wanted to go to Western Australia, but we're gonna have to save that for next time because we just didn't have the time
Yeah, but so we'll go from almost the top on the East almost the bottom on the East Coast
So we're seeing a good little portion.
It's gonna be a little chillier down there
So we're told, so
Yeah, every time we tell somebody we're headed down there from Cairns they're like
it's chilly down there, like, dang it
Don't tell us that cuz this is beautiful up here.
But we just came to a little cafe
That's down the street from where our Airbnb that we've been staying in got a little bit of brekkie
What did I end up getting? I totally forgot bacon and egg sandwich
The most boring sandwich.
Turkey cranberry, it looks like some veg on there too, ooh. And a latte.
We're gonna have hopefully a nice chill travel day
We're gonna head to the airport after we smash this. We're gonna be off to Melbourne
Made it at the airport plenty of time to spare. We are all checked in super easy
We're gonna be flying Qantas today, which we have grown to love Qantas. Yeah, flown them a couple times. I've had really good experiences
They give you a free bag check
Which is amazing cuz we try to sneak our bag on sometimes but it's always technically over the weight limit
So this is nice you don't have to pay extra and you get peace of mind
Yeah, and they usually - we've had pretty good food on Qantas in the past
So hopefully that continues today
Typically feed you and maybe even give you a free glass of alcohol
We'll see you stay tuned
But we're gonna head to security and we'll see you on the other side
We've got some time to kill before our plane boards
And we actually have a really cool sponsor for today's travel day that we wanted to tell you guys about
AirHelp is this really cool service that we love because they help you get compensated for flight delays and cancelations
They also compile a list that ranks airlines and airports based on a bunch of different factors
Yeah, so things like on-time performance and quality of service so that they can help you decide which to choose
For example
We mentioned that we're flying Qantas today and how much we like them
They're actually one of the top ranking airlines on this list
So who else do you think is in the top and who do you think is in the bottom?
The answer may WOW you
Okay that was a lot funnier last month when WOW Airlines was actually an airline
So click the link in the description to see if you picked the right Airlines for the top and the bottom of the list and
also just go there to check it out because it's a really great resource to figure out the best airlines to fly
And the best airports to visit
And just remember if you do pick a low-ranking airline, which happens to us sometimes
AirHelp is there to help you get your money back
Should you run into any claim issues
Our flight should be boarding pretty soon. So we're gonna go hit the skies!
So they don't really have a monitor on this plane, but they just announced that you can download their app and connect to their Wi-Fi
But our internet - our cell signal is very slow
So I don't know if we'll be able to actually download it before the plane takes off sadly
So do that ahead of time - download the Qantas entertainment app. That is the key.
So lunch is served and we got the cheese and spinach pie
It is, in fact, a superfood pie apparently
Homemade with love
It looks surprisingly legit. Although it is very very tiny for an entire lunch
It's pretty yummy it's actually surprisingly flaky and there's a bunch more
vegetables in there than I thought there would be I think there's like peas and maybe some carrots and stuff definitely onion and
It's very hearty. But still I think this is more of a breakfast sized pie than a lunch sized pie
Sadly the wine wasn't included, but we just got our own anyway. Worth it
It may not look like much but I'm completely blown away by this pie
It tastes super fresh and really legit considering it's airline food. Easily, one of the best airline treats that I've had
I just wish it was bigger. That's my only complaint
So we are starting our descent and before we land that they walked around and gave us some Fantales
Which if you guys don't know what that is, it is a delicious Australian treat
We actually did a whole video on Australian snacks
You should go back and watch it because we tried these little guys
They have little movie trivia on them. They're a lot of fun
When the trivia isn't cut off
Well, yeah when it's not cut off but they are super delicious. Even if it is cut off
We've arrived in Melbourne.
We are getting really good at flights you guys
I feel like we're just sitting there and she says "oh it's three-hour flight" and all the sudden before I know it, we're landing
I know.
It's like nothing
Really easy.
We didn't leave anything on the plane
Which we've been doing. Well not necessarily on the plane, but we've been leaving things behind guys
we're trying to just make sure we're aware of all of our belongings.
We're just moving so fast recently is it? You know
You stay one night in a place in the next morning
You're trying to repack everything is just a frenzy, but hopefully we're at the end of our losing streak
But now we have to find a bus. I didn't quite look up where Airbnb was before we landed
and just realized I think it's gonna be like an hour and a half journey and multiple transfers. So let the fun begin
Before we start the montage we got to tell you it is chillier here
Noticeably the minute you walk out of the airport, but it's not too cold, right?
No, everyone warned us but I was secretly hoping it'd still be warm.
It's only like light jacket weather not too bad.
Alright, now, travel montage journey begins
We made it to some station, I think we're in the right place that catch our next train
But I have no idea. I'm just fumbling around
Hopefully I could figure it out.
The station is friggin huge though, and there's all kinds of delicious food options making us realize just how hungry we are
So we are finally on the right track. We had to go to information and ask them because we were very confused
Apparently, we were supposed to get a myki card. I think that's how you pronounce it
but the kiosk had no information about
How much we needed to put on it or what it was exactly for
And I guess you can't buy a single ride ticket
At least I couldn't figure out how to do it. You had to get the card, but all right
We got it our train's here. So we're good to go
Hooray!
We've made it to our Airbnb
It wasn't really that most hectic travel getting here, but it was just long and three different buses and train combination
And we're gonna do an uber but the uber was like 78 AUD and then we're like
Well obviously we have to do public transportation because that's an absurd amount to pay.
It ended up costing us
60 AUD to get here via public transportation
Yeah, but we did have to get those cards that we mentioned earlier and I think those might cost like four bucks or so
But still - I still wish we would have just done that car
But you never really know cuz Google wouldn't tell us how much it all costs
So now we know probably just bite the bullet and take the uber. But anyway, we've made it to our place
It's a bit out of the way of downtown. But that means it's nice and secluded and check it out. It's super charming
So cute! It's very vintage, I love it.
But we were saying this is just like our apartment in San Francisco except
Imagine this bedroom isn't here and that's basically our apartment we lived in for five years
This. We had a kitchen about that size
Imagine this back corner is a closet that we slept in. There you go home sweet home
Who's hungry?
I got so excited that I ran back. I'm a little out of breath.
This here is dinner. We got here
We're so worn out
There were ads for Uber Eats all over the city.
So yeah, that's what we did
We've been cooking a lot lately
And staying in and this sounded really delicious plus I think we are going to watch the new
No, the old Pet Sematary movie Eric's been dying to get me to watch it
Yeah, there's a new one coming out
I've never seen the old one so the plan is to do that and then maybe when we're here in Melbourne
We'll actually go see the movie. We never see movies on the road.
I just literally cannot get this bag open
That's why I'm talking so much
Also, for some reason the couch is here in this Airbnb and that's the TV
So unless we want a really sore neck we're gonna have to be something different
You look nice.
I had a nice shadow framed up, but then I've not been messing with you
All right. We are going to dig into this and watch the movie and today was just kind of a travel day
So we wanted to keep the vibe going and tell you what our upcoming travel plans are gonna be
Oh my gosh!
At least what we know so far. What we do know is that we are going to be going to Vegas after Melbourne
Yes, and when we lived in San Francisco, we went to Vegas all the time
And it's one of our favorite places on the planet, but this will be the first time we're gonna be filming there
yes, so we're very excited stay tuned cuz I think we're gonna do some fun stuff some comparisons of
Buffets there
And then after that we will be popping down to Mexico to Cancun
We film there a few years ago. It's been a long time. So we're gonna go back there. See some amazing beaches and then
We've decided that I think we're gonna go down to Columbia.
That is the plan so far
We've never been to South America believe it or not. So this'll be our first time there. Mm-hmm
So pop down there and then after that up to Canada
We're gonna be - we're planning on doing like a campervan road trip all through Canada
But we're still in the early stages of sorting that out, but stay tuned
It's gonna be so beautiful.
Yeah, but that covers the next I think it's literally just a month of travel we're gonna be moving around a lot
So we have a lot of fun content from all over the place.
I think that's as far as we've got.
Yeah, that's as far as we've gotten but yeah, okay. Yeah, but we're gonna have some fun adventures here in Melbourne coming up
So stay tuned for that
Goodbye adventurers. (We're gonna eat)
We'll see you on the road
