Arriving In Melbourne!!

OMG that was the longest flight in the world! And I love after the stop in Hong Kong where we have already been flying for 13 hours the air hostest goes...'Okay guys, only a short flight now...8hours and 7mins to go'...SHORT FLIGHT HE SAYS!!! The flight was not too bad, I watched Harry Potter so I was happy, except when I was moved to sit next to a baby, not the most enjoyable when it crys for the next 8 hours!!

Due to the delay, I reach Melbourne at about 1am and am met by Simon Dorrington, the programme co-ordinator. He is a very funny guy! When we arrive at the hotel, I meet my room mate Harry and we chat for ages, he is really nice so this is good!! I finally get to sleep at about 4am!!

On Fri 18th, I go for a wander and find myself very lost in the supermarket. I never realised how hard it was to think about what food to buy. I try to remember the ingredients of the one and only meal I can cook and struggle at the bacon section where none of it looks like English bacon. After two hours in the supermarket (I purchase about 12 items) I struggle back to the hotel with 3 plastic bags, praying they will not split.

In the evening we watch the tennis and films. Hopefully we will get some tickets to go and see the tennis on Sunday! We can see Melbourne Park and the Tennis Centre from our apartment. I cook dinner and Harry and Michael (Harry's friend who is struggling slightly with finances having only $4 to his name!!!) and they are impressed!!

I hope these blogs become more exciting!! I am so tired but we are raving up tonight and hitting the clubs!! Can't bloody wait!! Love to you all!!! xxx
