Finished with a 2-for-1 beer at Happy Hour which probably defeated the purpose of the ride. Getting myself a bike as soon as I&#8217;m permanent here - great way to see the city.</p>http://nickjharris.tumblr.com/post/558812495http://nickjharris.tumblr.com/post/558812495Thu, 29 Apr 2010 13:30:36 -0400<iframe src="//www.tumblr.com/video/nickjharris/551160212/400" id="tumblr_video_iframe_551160212" class="tumblr_video_iframe" width="400" height="300" style="display:block;background-color:transparent;overflow:hidden;" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>Unimpressed.</p>http://nickjharris.tumblr.com/post/551160212http://nickjharris.tumblr.com/post/551160212Mon, 26 Apr 2010 13:28:54 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l1huuyNmZC1qb21l1o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l1huuyNmZC1qb21l1o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l1huuyNmZC1qb21l1o3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/>http://nickjharris.tumblr.com/post/551146660http://nickjharris.tumblr.com/post/551146660Mon, 26 Apr 2010 13:20:58 -0400<p>Mel and Manny have arrived from Melbourne!
