20th September - A generally weird day

Today was just a weird day. Did some celebrity spotting in the morning, one Randy Mamola of Moto GP fame, he does the commentary on Euro Sport and does the tandem bike rides for those that know nothing! Then we got picked up just after 1 for our Neighbours tour. You have to do it if you come to Australia!

The guy driving the bus was a hyperactive Neighbours loon and filled us all with sweets and really bad old pop songs sung by current and ex Neighbours cast members. The best being the song 'Make you feel good' by Stephen Dennis other wise known as Paul Robinson, cringeworthy. After that we were up for anything.

Then we went to this really downtrodden shop in Melbourne to sort out vouchers and money and to buy souvenirs. About 16 of us were in this small shop when some geezer with a beard walks in off the street, no one really noticed till the guide says 'And here is Alan Fletcher who plays Dr Karl Kennedy'. WEIRD. So we all got photos with him.


By the way he has a beard as the story line he is in at the moment requires it. He accidentally murdered 5 of the current cast members and is now on the run but is hiding out in Bouncer's old dog house. Will they catch him? He doesn't know yet.

Then we all got back on the bus and were just about to leave when Karl or Fletch hops on and says his goodbyes, then gets off and just walks off down the street like a hairy hobo. WEIRD, just imagine walking around and bumping into strange Neighbours cast members.

After more pop videos and sweets we went to Erinsborough High and then Ramsey Street which is actually called Pin Oak Court. The place is much smaller than it seems on TV and there are only the 5 houses there. We got pictures of all of them and of the makeshift sign too. We also got a shot of where Harold ran over Bouncer all those years ago.


The whole thing was just WEIRD. Went home straight to sleep!
