Hello! oh you don`t know how much trouble we have gone to to get this blog done today. No wi-fi at the hotel so we went to McDonald's on George St and that was hopeless. Anyway we have found a bar and at last were connected only to find it was so slow! I know Jo will tell me off because she said not to spend to much time on the Internet but it`s such a shame if we give up. I am a bit worried as to how we will get on when were in the camper van. Anyway we are becoming a couple of winging poms!
Lorraine had got tictets for the Western Bulldogs against Collingwood in the Australian Rules Football League at their new Etihad Stadium. Brian said there were nearly 50 thosand people which created a brilliant atmosphere. Unfortunately they lost but a great day was had by all. I had a shopping trip with Jodie and Bethany to High Point ,it`s a bit like Merry Hill.Had to get some t shirts for the sunny weather we are expecting! then had to send the winter clothes to local charity shop.
Well after 4 weeks without a decent curry Paul suggested we tried the local Indian cuisine in Sunshine Melbourne. It was Delicious and enjoyed the company of Paul`s friends Debbie and Richie and of course Jodie. All had plenty of vino as usual but no bad heads.
It was up early in the morning and had to say our goodbyes to Paul and Lorraine. It was tearful but had had a great time. We will miss Lorraine and our water bed. Bri kept dreaming he had been ship wrecked on a desert island until I got in and he thought there was a tsunami ! he`s no lightweight after all this travelling.
We have now left melbourne and arrived in Sydney and looking forward to having a good look round tomorrow.
