Cold Melbourne here I come!

An article by Elahn    1 Comment

3 months after leaving Australia I have returned to cold and grey Melbourne! Awesome! Hong Kong humidity behind me I said my farewells to Jacob and chicken feet and boarded a Cathy Pacific plane for a 9 hour flight home.

Sad me on the plane. Narrow seats and a large armed passenger sitting next to me. Dang!

The flight gave me time to gather my thoughts and take in the wonderful time I’ve had over the last 3 months, the places I’ve been, food ate and people met.

Some stats -

• Planes flown in – 10
• Beds slept in – 18
• Countries visited (including airport stop overs) – 6
• Oceans/bodies of water swam in – 5
• Haircuts – 2

Arriving back in Melbourne Dana and Russell pick me up from the airport. Dana, looking like she’s about to pass a bowling ball, and Russ looking like an excited expectant father drive me to Lara and Julian’s place where I finally take my shoes off to allow my feet to recover from the hundreds of kilometers walked.

For now I’m happy to rest up and get back into a routine. I’m happy to be home and to be here for Dana and Russell’s new arrival (hurry up!) and to spend some time saving up money for my next big adventure overseas. But that won’t mean the end of my blogging escapades. Be on the look out for my new site coming soon. It’s a surprise but I’m sure it will still entertain and educate. For now I call it “Chapter 2″.

Thanks to my blog commenter fanclub. You know who you are. At least 2 people were reading and cared. Either that or it was a slow, boring day at work. I think the latter.

Elahn.
