City Experience Day 1 Summary
June 7, 2006Well to start the day off i woke up and got breaky and started walking to the station at 8:00, when i got there i went to get my ticket and then we walked to IGA to get a drink and it was pretty bloody cold. We all got our names ticked off and went and got on the train, that's was about 9:02. The train ride was boring as anything but thank god i had my MP3 player. We had to get off at Richmond station because we had the tour of the M.C.G.
When we got there we walked around it like once then we had to go back and go to the bottom and enter there so it took us about 20 bloody minutes to find where we were suppose to go. We entered the M.C.G and then we split up into 2 groups, our tour guides name was Malcolm and he is a volunteer there and he has been a M.C.C member for 38 years. We got to go into the Richmond change rooms and look around then we went out onto the ground which sent a chill up my spine because i hope to play cricket on that ground one day, i took some grass lol and put it in my pocket. We went to the members area and had a look around at the special seating they get which is awesome and i hope one day i can become a member myself. The tour went for about 1 hour and a half and then we had to go.
We got on a tram and went of to SouthBank and had lunch which was really expensive so i didnt bother to get anything. I just had a sandwhich and a drink and some of my mates chips which they bought.
We went off to the Rialto tower which was awsome you could see everything from up there. Then we went to the G.P.O which was boring then we went to the QV centre and then we had to walk back to Flinders station to catch the train back to Croydon.
