My Great Auntie lives in Melbourne so ofcourse we couldn’t go to Oz
without seeing her. I felt bad that we gave her such short notice when we
decided we are going home and doing Oz after the summer last week. So we
decided we would just stay 3 nights and next time we come away and do Oz
properly we want to stay for 2 weeks but gave her more notice to plan for us.
We
got the flight from Cairns on Thursday where we left the hot weather behind!!
Melbourne is south on the East Coast and gets 4 seasons like at home. At the
moment with it being May it’s their Autumn, after being in the heat for so long
it was beautiful to see all the leaves from the tress scattered on the floor,
it really felt like we were back at home in October time! Only we have limited
clothes suitable for cold weather so we were back to living in our Hanoi
outfits! With a bag full of bikinis and shorts me and mister Alex are defiantly
sun worshipers!
It
was lovely to see my great Aunt again, I haven’t seen her since I came to Oz 2
and a half years ago. She loved Mister Al and we told him tales about our
family and we showed her photos from our travels and of course our skydiving
dvd’s, which mine again had us all in hysterics!! I think all 3 nights we were
there ended in us being a little tipsy, my auntie has a fab sense of humour and
all 3 of us had a good laugh!! Last night we went to an all you can eat buffet
restaurant (right up mister Al’s street) we all had eyes bigger than our
bellies!!!
I wish I hadn’t worried so
much about giving her little notice of our arrival and we had stayed longer
especially as, unknown to me beforehand, today (the day we left) is the
Australian mother’s day. But we will be back, and the weather will be better so
we can spend more time with my auntie and also see the sights of Melbourne.
I’m writing this in Kuala Lumpa airport on our stop over to Bali our
last country on the 2 Alex’s abroad part one. It’s weird because we were here
sat in the same café about 2 weeks ago after we said bye to my parents in Bali and
we flew on to Oz, how our plans have changed since then. I’m really excited to see
everyone at home (and my gorgeous doggie although have a feeling she will not
be talking to me straight away for leaving her!) It’s going to be lovely to
spend the summer with everyone and get some pennies and plan part 2 of our
travels, I’m excited for it already J.
Lots of love to everyone at home
