Aquarium & semi-finals

Thursday morning we slept a bit longer and then we went for a breakfast-lunch to a little restaurant in one of the cosy little streets in Melbourne close to our hostel. We had a good breakfast and coffee, a nice start of the day.

Then we walked on Southbank to the Melbourne Aquarium. The Melbourne aquarium is huge and very nice! First we saw some penguins, then we went saw a lot of stone fishes, crabs, jelly fishes, sharks,... They also had some baby hammerheads in the aquarium. The last part of the aquarium was a big tunnel so you could walk through a glass tunnel with fishes on your left, right and above you! We spent more than two hours watching the fishes and we enjoyed it!

In the evening I went to the mens semi-final @ the Rod Laver arena. Federer played against Djokovic. The first set was very close and Djokovic won in the Tie Break. Djokovic was playing very well. In the second set Federer was leading 5-2 but he could not finish the set and Djokovic won 7-5. In the third set Djokovic was leading 4-2 and the crowd went crazy when Federer came back to 4-4! What an atmosphere in the stadium! But then he lost his own serve... 5-4 and then Djokovic served for the match. I hoped to see Federer playing his best level...

Djokovic was better today!

After the mens semi-final there was a legends double match. Henri Leconte and Pat Rafter against Haarhuis en Elting. Henri Leconte was so funny! He was making jokes all the time! And he is still a good tennis player. It was a good game and lots of fun to see.

But Rafter left Leconte for a while!

Crazy Frenchy! Leconte!

Now I am back in the hostel,  waiting to hear how jill enjoyed the pub crawl that was organised by the hostel!


I am having trouble to upload pictures at the moment... but I will add them as soon as I can!
