We made it to the airport for 6a.m on Monday 11th April just as Jane, Olly and Alice walked through the doors. They had had a good trip, stopping off at Singapore for a couple of days to meet up with Jane's sister, so weren't too jet-lagged.
Since we were home by 7.30a.m and because the weather was going to be good, we headed straight out to Healesville to show them the wildlife of Australia and this time, actually got to see a wombat! She was 7 years old and called Florence!
The week was full- on - city trips, Mornington Peninsula, parties etc and Jane even took herself off on a one day trip down the Great Ocean Road, including a 10 minute helicopter ride over the 12 Apostles!
On Saturday, we met up with some other English friends who have just moved out here from Romsey - the Pockneys. We met them at the MCG and watched a FANTASTIC Afl game between Carlton and Essendon, which ended in a draw. This was followed by a trip to Wagamama for dinner, so it was a great day.
The week was over all too quickly but we had a great time, sharing our experiences with the Jordans, with the result being Alice and Olly want to move out here because they think it's so fantastic!
