Cold And Windy In Melbourne

Our plane touched down at Tullamarine just after 1:15 pm. There was a 50knot nor westerly blowing and everyone was quite pleased we landed so smoothly. Tiger are a budget airline and some of the facilities it has in Melbourne are best described as primitive, especially where you collect your luggage. The temperature hovering around 12 degrees did not help. But soon after we were collected by Wendy and our grand daughter young Emily and whisked away to their home just a few minutes away. Soon after Andrew arrived home from school followed by Chris home from work and our youngest daughter Kim then arrived too. We enjoyed a great evening meal all together.

About 8:30 pm we said our farewells and Kim drove us across Melbourne to Kate and Arj's home where will be spending much of the time in Melbourne. They live about 80k's from Chris and Wendy.

After a quick chat it was time to catch up on our sleep. Thursday would be a day spent getting organized for the two weeks ahead.
