the meaning of travel

Resently I've got a chance to travel around MEL with a friend, exactly he is my friend's bf, came here for a so-called international conference or whatever, none of my business, what i care about was he would play with me rather than for that boring and meaningless 'no show'.
In the first day i picked him up at the Avelon airport -- a very small and cute internal airport and very far from the city, cost me 50minutes to get there. i remember there was a heavy fog that day, but when i reached Avelon, the fog was blowed up, the remoting mountains was around with the fog, it's so beatiful that made me forgot the tiring of getting up so early in the morning.
He's a tall and thin man and very easy-going, we talked a lot, but most of contents are about the knowledge of MEL, and to my surprice, he knows a great many information that even more than i can imagine!! Shame of me..friend told me that he read 3 books about Australia before coming here...wow... then i got to know what is the real attitude a travellor should have..pf....
In the first two days, i showed him the prospectus city in the centre of MEL where he also lived in. He said it's far more better than Sydney for the clearness and better setup. I haven't been there so can't comment on it for a while, but his critize dispel my idea of travelling there more or less. At the third day we went to the Great Ocien Road where sit in the surburb that almost 3 hours from city. I'm not sure whether it was lucky or not, with various weather condition we appreciate different sight of seaside, while it also brought out big trouble that walking and photographing in the rainy and freezing day really feel not convient, althougth still excited about 2 rainbows appeared over the sea at the same time...
