VRAP

Our VRAP trip this year was to Melbourne. We went to the arts centre, the Eureka Tower and to the Geelong and Melbourne football game.

The trip started with a four o'clock start for me and I got dad to drive me to Bunning’s on his way to work to be picked up. I got on the bus and away we went. On the way down there I sat next to Ryan and we joked around until the movie came on. The movie was Transformers, which I hadn't seen before. The trip seemed to go forever until we stopped at Avenal for breakfast. For breakfast I had a meat pie, two potato cakes and chocolate milk. Then we got back on the bus and the trip started again. When we finally got to Melbourne we went straight to the arts centre. There were these art pieces out the front that were cool. We rolled 10 cent coins on it. I went to roll mine and missed the structure and it landed close to the teachers. I lost it. After all that we posed for a picture then went inside the arts centre. My trip first started with a tour and it was awesome. After that we headed to one of the theatres to watch a show. The show was called Taboo. It was quite sad. There’s a report on Taboo on another page. After that we had some lunch and walked to the Eureka sky deck. We waited for a bit and then we all went inside. I was on one of the first lifts to go up there. We travelled on the elevator with Mrs. Ireland who encouraged us to jump when we got near the top. We all jumped and the elevator ended up going down a floor, it was funny. When we got to the top I had a look around and saw the "edge". I didn't end up going on the edge because I thought for $8 it wasn't worth it. I got lots of pictures though. After all that we walked to Bourke Street and had some time to go shopping and get something to eat. I had KFC for tea. Then at about 5:30pm we went to the MCG to watch Geelong flog Melbourne which they did. Melbourne didn't even get a score until the second quarter. I had some chip at the football which ended up being really expensive for one box of chips. After that we all piled on the bus and headed home. The first movie on was National Treasure 2 and then The Benchwarmers. We got home at about 2:45. That night I stayed at Anthony's house to save mum coming to pick me up.
