Well
where to begin??
I
am now in a fabulous apartment almost down town Melbourne relaxing
after a very easy travel day everything worked out with the exception
of my new suitcase.....as I was fastening it this morning both zip’s
broke....at the airport I put the whole case in a large plastic bag
and the contents did not spill during the flight.... just means I
will have to buy a new suitcase this week.
Two
and a half months in New Zealand where did the time go??
I
can honestly say I did not have one problem in that time....the local
people were amazing and so friendly, the vistas that I saw out of
this world....the wonderful house sit...there are just so many happy
and glorious memories that I shall in years to come enjoy looking
back through the blog and reliving and enjoying the times I had.
So
now a new adventure begins..I have the apartment booked for a week
and will enjoy the sights and of course the tennis......My tennis
ticket is not till next Sunday so more on that later......the
tentative plan is then when I leave Melbourne hire a car and go
explore the Great Ocean Road area west of the city and then work my
way up the coast to Sydney and around the 27th February
fly from Sydney to Brisbane where I have another house sit position
for about 10 days before I go back to Sydney where I also have a
house sit job starting 14th March for two weeks...so this
means I will get to travel and see some of the country but also be
able to relax and stay in a couple of beautiful homes and both have
pets so another bonus for me.
Around
the end of March after Easter I am flying to Johannesburg in South
Africa where I shall tour for about 4 weeks before hiring a car and
driving to Cape Town where I have yet another house sit position
lined up in May...so a busy schedule ahead.
Melbourne
is hot 30 Celsius when I arrived but will cool down in the next day
or two.
So
I think we are up to date now.....
Thanks
for being regular readers and also for the e mails...

We visited Melbourne in March 2012 when our son was living there. It's a beautiful city, we loved it! It feels a bit like a Canadian city, lol. The old brick architecture feels very Toronto-ish. The tram's a great way to tour, just hop on and off at will. I will never forget the day we did it, it was 40C and we just about passed out!
Be sure to get down to St Kilda's to see the Fairy Penguins, they're adorable :-)
will do thanks loving it had a free greeter tour this morning and tennis tomorrow cheers les
