We left Tuesday evening from Houston and flew to LA. From there we got on a huge double decker plane (we were on the 2nd floor-- cant say Ive ever even seen a plane with 2 floors!) It took about 14 1/2 hours from there to get to Melbourne. It honestly was not a bad flight at all (we did get to fly 1st class so that probably helped!) I slept a good 6-7 hours, we got pj's, a toothbrush and hot towels to wash our faces, ate Minestrone soup (Brian had rack of lamb haha) at what felt like 3 in the morning, watched Love and Other Drugs, Keeping up with the Kardashians, Modern Family, had a delicious breakfast of fruit and coffee--then next thing I knew we were in Australia!! We got there at what was about 10 in the morning Thursday (about 7pm Wednesday Houston time)
It was a little strange getting in a cab with the driver in the passenger side but thats something I will have to get used to! After we got a little settled we went out for a quick lunch! We decided to go into the downtown area to a little cafe (very little!) That is when I realized were not in Kansas anymore Toto. It was so different. We were in this tiny little alley-- it was all graffitied and a little dirty and off it were probably 30 cafes! All about the size of a crackerbox! We sat RIGHT next to people that had to move their table over for me to fit in the booth!! I kept looking out at the alley and thinking "where are we!?" But... I have to say the food was amazing!! I found a few pictures of where we were....
Anyways, thats all for now!!!
So exciting! Is the food similar? Glad you made it safely--can't wait to hear about all of your adventures.
