Melbourne – first day and graduation

My poor feet! Have been doing a lot of walking yesterday. Melbourne is really a lovely city. And you sure need to live in a city with a skyline. Very important. And if that skyline includes beaches I will be perfectly happy and satisfied. Got in touch with that Australian sun as well. Burned my shoulders and nose just by spending like an hour in the sun in the park. Sun block really is a must. As well as sunglasses (or sunnies as the Aussies say). Cant see a thing without them in the bright sunlight. Had lovely Thai dinner with Em, reunion was perfect. Had missed her sooo much. And for Heli and Emelie – the best Pad Thai is to be eaten here!!! Couldn’t believe it so good was it. Yum yum yum. So girls, come down here asap! Today we spent the day with Em as it is her graduation. The ceremony itself was in a huuuge stadium and they all wore their Harry Potter capes and the hats. Very cute. Weather wasn’t too nice though, a bit cold and drizzly. That wasn’t what we had signed up for when we booked our tickets for the Australian summer really. But hey – not much to do about it, is there. The drought was on in Melbourne for over 10 years so they are quite happy about the rain. Tomorrow we’ll be spending more time in the city whilst Emma is at work. And then its one more day before the roadtrip starts. So excited! That’s for now, more tomorrow. Lots of love from Melbourne! /H
