Checking in..
Hello everyone out there. Sorry it’s been so long - I have so much to say and no time to do it! For all those who are not sure – we are now in Melbourne. We’ve been living here since mid-January where our beautiful 2 month home trip ended.
We’ve got a lovely, albeit noisy 2 bedroom flat 3 blocks from the beach. The second bedroom is available for visitors – you’re welcome to come and stay! We had a crazy time finding this spot –we saw 36 flats in a week – and had to beat back all the other prospective tenants to have a good look around whichever place was open for inspection.
Life in Melbourne has been a whirlwind of admin, work, study and some small amount of exploring. Most of our explorations have been of the eating establishments – and boy are there some gorgeous places to eat out. Happily for us we have 2 scrummy places across the road – although there is a constant enticement for amazing desserts and homemade hashbrowns!
We have been cycling everywhere – it has been quite an education – neither of us had cycled in proper traffic before – and I have to cross town to get to work! It is quicker and more reliable than taking the tram or driving. It’s pretty funny some of the things we have transported. Tim lugged our new printer home on his back like some mutant ninja turtle. We literally stuffed a taxi full of bean bags – the driver couldn’t see out the rear windscreen and one of the bean bags was limiting his access to the gearstick. Thankfully he was an imported taxi driver – we reckon an original ozzie wouldn’t have transported us in such conditions! Anyway – 2 weeks ago – we turned all this cash into a car.. It’s the only photo we have – but please meet our lovely Fritz.
Speaking of taxi drivers - it's one thing we've noticed as an Australian peculiarity - they have no idea where they are going! We have to direct them on the whole - had to travel with a map in the beginning!
Other 3 photos - images of Melbourne.
It's good to be back.
