In oz at last!!!!!!!! very happy, beenm here bout 10 days- sorry only just writing!
So when we arrived we werent sure wot would happen as we hadnt got around to organising somewhere to stay- we prayed we might bump inot the del rios at the airport who live in melbourne as they laft the same day as us, but no need as rachel and baby sylvie (uncle toms wife and daughter) were there to greet us!! result!! they didnt come the wedding as sylvie is too tiny still- sooo cute!! she dropped us at cess's mums cousins house, wendy, who sons alastair (Cs 2nd cousin) would pick us up after work to stay with him- very complicated but went smoothly! For those of u familiar with Melbourne it may surprise u to hear the weather was gorgeous and got hotter the next day 36degrees! That night we went to the melbourne fringe festival to see his mates show (was well funny as it goes) and went to lil vietnam for a tasty munch!!
The next day was Dubs birthday!! happy birthday dubs! during the day we had a picninc in the botanic gardens then in the evening went to St Kilda for dinner and drinks with Alastair, his girlfriend sam, the del rios and Andres' girlfriend Emma, and Marcus and his girlfirend hannah joined us at the end. They have a vineyard and bought some of their wine and champagne (sparkling wine to be pc)- was lovely!!
Jet lag caught up tho and whilst dubs went to alastairs show at the fringe festival and met alexandra, alastairs sister, cess went to bed, and stayed in the nxt day too watching sopme qualtity dvds- can u believe he had all the series of press gang on dvd!!!
