My travels have now brought me to Melbourne, the first real city I've been to for a good 9 months. Admittedly I've been to Ruteng, Jogjakarta, Dempassar, Darwin & Adelaide, but for one reason or another none of them really felt like cities. But Melbourne does & I'm loving it!
It has the decadance, the style, the noise & the anonymity that is only ever possible in a real city. At last I have the privacy I've been craving (despite being in a city of x thousand people & sleeping in a dorm with 10 other travellers). I'm able to wear shoes & makeup that put a swing in my step & I've been able to get my hair fixed! So I'm sorry, but I am no longer a blond bombshell, just a regular girl with regular hair & a nice pair of heels!

Hey Karen,
So glad you have made it to Melbourne. It's the only bit of Aus I've seen and it reminded me of London, only much cheaper, warmer and way more managable! Hope you are having a fantastic time, being your other self.
Does travel give us the chance to try on other skins for a while, and come back to a version of who we were before we went, rediscovering why we are happy as we are?

This from Edward Monkton sums up Karen for us:
The GIRL who was BEAUTIFUL INSIDE
Such was the power of the BEAUTY INSIDE her that Winter turned to Spring in her path and flowers grew in her footsteps
