Melbourne... I have arrived !

Waiting for the bus this morning

Monkeying around at bus-stop.

We haz arrived !! Melbourne watch y0 back.
Honestly I was a little nervous before the flight. It has been 7 long years since I have been in Melbourne. 7 years since I have seen any of my old friends and 7 years since I have been in the presence of Dave's Mum.
Our relationship didn't get off to a very good start back in the day (to say the least) but I am willing to let bygones be bygones. I don't see the point in holding a grudge for years on end. It takes more energy to hate than to forgive & forget.
We were picked up at Melbourne airport and it took the little guy all of about 30 seconds before he was over his nerves of meeting Grandma. I think the entire car ride back to her place I smiled. I couldn't help but look in awe at how the city had developed. It was the same and yet it wasn't.
We didn't do too much today, it rained and was kinda bleurghh but we did have fish & chips for dinner. God that was good. There is a certain taste to Melbourne fish & chips that Brisbane just can't quite match. Anyway that's about it for tonight I am kinda sleepy, I think we should be going out tomorrow night to catch up with old friends.
