Melbourne

I arrived in Melbourne last night after a long wait at the airport. My flight was somehow over booked by 20 seats and the airline had to tell 20 people desperate to leave Christchurch that they couldn't fly. It was terrible. Flight was delayed by over and hour and a crying baby in front of me kept me alert the entire flight!
Elise picked me up from the airport and we enjoyed a lovely dinner out with much needed beverages.
Today I caught the train from Melbourne to Geelong and was lost as to what I was doing. Some kind men offered to carry my bags and I was so worried they would run off with them, luckily they didnt!
I am catching up with friends in Colac for the next 5 days and can't wait!

Getting ready to leave..

It's two days to go until I leave. The Earthquake has changed things. I am so thankful that my family and close friends are safe. I am feeling anxious about leaving everyone behind when the city is like this. At this stage my flight is still leaving at 3.30pm on Friday. First stop: Melbourne.
