G'day Melbourne
We arrived in Melbourne yesterday, it's autumn here which is weird. We went from extreme winter to a couple of days of spring, to extreme summer to autumn in 2 months. No wonder we're tired!
It's approx 20 degrees which is nice but the leaves are turning orange and falling to the ground so yeah it's autumn.
The trip here went ok, although the night before we were leaving Andrew got ill, threw up all night, all morning and more or less all day. Poos him. We took a bus to Trat airport (incl the ferry), plane to Bangkok airport and then we found a pharmacy so Andrew could get some pills and stuff. Then we had a 6 hour wait. Andrew started to feel better and we found a relaxing area so he could get some sleep and he also had 2 cups of tea and as you know tea cures everything ;)
The flight to Sydney went well, we were in seats of 4 and luckily the 2 next to me didn't show up so we had all 4 seats to ourselves (so we didn't have to sit too close to each other ;) ). We watched some movies, had some food (unfortunately they ran out of beef and we had to eat Thai fish, we are getting sick of Thai food). We also managed to sleep a bit.
Unfortunately the flight was 30 min late and going through customs in Sydney took forever and due to some stupid Australian rule, even though we were getting on another flight we still had to go and pick up our bags and check them in again!! So we missed our flight to Melbourne. We weren't the only ones and luckily they were very nice about it and just booked us onto the next flight which was an hour later so we got here eventually.
Today we have opened bank accounts, I've had an interview and I've applied for another job and found 2 more which I'm gonna go and see later.
Now we're gonna go and find somewhere to live!
Hope you are all well and enjoying spring!
