Arrived Safely

What a difference 6 hours makes.  From leaving Caloundra late in the afternoon to being at Kate's home 200ok's away in Melbourne.  It was actually warmer in Melbourne upon our arrival last night than it was at the same time back in Caloundra!

But that isn't the case right now as I type away.  It is around 20 degrees here and quite overcast.  Click on the photo for a larger view. It isn't going to get much warmer over the next couple of days.

That late afternoon flight has its advantages.  We get a whole day to get ready so nothing is rushed.  The plane is half full at best but you do miss the footy if your team is playing.  I switched my phone on to get a score as the plane was taxiing into its parking spot.  It was close at that stage but by the Bolte Bridge my team had won comfortably.

Despite now having been here for 12 hours my ears still haven't cleared from the flight.  It is quite frustrating actually.

The kids are all at school now so we have the place to ourselves.  We will check out having our new glasses made while here so that is the first job this morning.  We are on our own tonight and look like we are baby-sitting tomorrow evening.  that gives us time to settle in and find our feet.

The old car we have down here is running very well indeed.  It will get a good work out when friends Ian and Kerrie arrive mid next week.
