Hi Everyone
As most of you know today was the day when I travelled to Melbourne. Pictured is the plane we went on. It is a very small plane and seats about thirty people. It was a bit squashed inside.
I am a bit scared of flying and prayed all the time that we would arrive safely. We had very little turbulance which was good.
We then had to get on two different buses to find our hotel. The hotel is nice - four stars - and has a TV with Austar and a pool. I forgot to bring my bathers though.
We went to a lovely Indian restaurant called Balti for dinner. I had beef korma which was just exquisite.
There were many frustrations. I am not very fit and I walk slowly. Also we kept getting lost despite having a map. Sometimes it got so bad I just wanted to go back home. I'm not used to having so many things jammed into a day.
Anyway we went to the Comedy Festival after dinner. The picture above shows me outside the theatre.
The first act was Dave Hughes. He was quite funny - lots of blokey Aussie humour with some topical stuff. He also talked quite a lot about relationships and his wife which I thought was quite sweet.
The second act, Wil Anderson, was much, much better. He commented on mainly topical stuff -our Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, the global financial crisis, drugs, the Victorian bushfires, religion and gay marriage. He was, like a lot of comedians, a bit anti Christian but he was very, very funny. I laughed nearly the whole way through.
Anyway I need to sign off now so I can get up early to go to the Acquarium.
God Bless

I'm glad you had a good time. I hope you enjoy your stay!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are well on your way to a fun vacation! I love Indian food. As I remember there was a place called the Bengal Tiger which was quite nice.
ReplyDeleteHave some good laughs!
Thanks Laurie Ann and KJP for your encouragement.
ReplyDeleteStay tuned!

Sounds like a fun evening, though I'm sorry your day was a bit rough. Praying for the coming day!

Hey there,
ReplyDeletethanks for all the comments on my blog, i appreciate the reading :)
Im kind of at a loss right now in my life, unsure of what to do. So far everything has been working out by a plan, and then one day CRASH and its all off course. So Im just trying to sort things out now... but really I think I come off as a much more gloomy person through my blog than I really am. The thing is I only really write when Im upset or confused,and when Im happy I just live the moment, no point analyzing anything.
I hope everything is good for you :) Take care!
Ambersun, sooooooo very glad you had a blast! Get your rest. Looking forward to the updates! Blessings dear!
ReplyDeleteThanks insomniac and just be real.
ReplyDeleteInsomniac hope you feel better really soon. Don't worry about appearing too gloomy. Just be yourself.
God Bless
