Frankston, Melbourne 25/10/06 10pm
I made it here in one piece!! The flight from Heathrow was delayed by 1hour cos half the crew got stuck on the M25 and so it was a long long flight after that and not very comfy! It was 30 C in Singapore when we landed but I was only there for around 1 and a half hrs before the next flight. I met a girl at Heathrow who was flying home to Perth so stuck with her until our flights left Singapore and then onto Melbourne!! I had a window seat but couldnt see anything at all as it was pitch black! So basically just settled in and watched the films and tried to get some sleep which was easier said than done!
I was so relieved when we got to Melbourne (4.20am!), it was such a long flight I dont know how people do it when they're not staying for very long before they head back! Once in melbourne everything was really simple, i cleared immigration, my bag was on of the first off, and thru customs so was out in about 15mins where Paul & Michelle were waiting for me! They live about an hour from the airport so i got to see Melbourne City as we drove past, not people around at that time in the morning tho! Pauls house is lovely and so cosy, today has really been a bit of a blur with lots of tea and naps!!
We have been to Frankston and to Phillip Bay which is a lovely beach about 15mins walk from Pauls house, its a really nice secluded beach that stretches for miles and you can even see Melbourne when its cleared! Had a look round the shops too so hoping to sort out a phone card and mobile soon. It was raining when I got here - typical!! But then cleared up, its been quite chilly tho cos its near the coast and is pretty breezy (no bikinis yet!) The weather is supposed to get gradually warmer over the next few days tho!
I'm off to bed now, this jet lag is a killer, i managed to stay awake until lunch time but its been a struggle since then!
Take Care All! xx
