After spending the morning wandering around the shops in Melbourne (window shopping only of course, I am a backpacker after all), I headed up to help Jimmy and Joycie (Andrew) set up for the first Melbourne Beerfest. This is the third one that I've now done so I had a fairly good idea of what we needed to do but I still underestimated just how much work is involved to set up the event! After 8 hours and memorably attempting to move fridge...in a dress, we were finally ready to go.
1 March
It's St David's Day and what could be more fitting than a Beer festival in the sun. It was a long day but an enjoyable one nonetheless. I was even treated with a visit by my roommates from the hostel (Greenhouse). It was nice to spend the evening together,drinking beer and watching the bands.

Today was day 2 of the festival. Numbers were slightly lower but it was still a great atmosphere. It allowed me to get to know Elodie and Kalynda a little better too which was lovely. In no time at all, we'd packed up the site and it was time to say my goodbyes. I am so lucky to have met some amazing people thanks to Toby. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have made such good friends but most importantly of all, I wouldn't have met Jimmy. It's amazing how one weekends worth of work has turned into 5 months. I will never forget what Jimmy and Kalynda have done for me and I hope that one day I can re-pay the favour in some way.
