I have been in Melbourne for 6 days and it has been amazing!. The flight was okay apart from the turbulence which was insane from Dubai to Kuala Lumpa. We sat with our seatbelts on the whole leg of that journey. The novelty of flying quickly wore off after 4 hours but it was fine. I'm quite happy not to get on another long haul flight for a while as well. On the first day I went to bed for a few hours and then got up around 7am Oz time and Tash, Audra & I ...

So I only have two days left at home before I start my travels. On Friday I will be dropped off at my best friends house and I get to spend the day with her & her wonderful family.
