G'day all!
Well here I am in OZ, having an absolutely fantastic time.
The 3 plane journeys over were very long and boring. I was quite ill on the second flight and didn't manage to sleep on the first two flights. My body gave up on the third flight and let me have a bit of sleep! It was kind of interesting seeing a little bit of Dubai and Brunei, but you can't really tell a lot about a country from the airport departure lounge.
I arrived safely on Sunday night to a big hug from Carmy and lots of introductions at the airport. Don't seem to have stopped since then! We hung out for a couple of hours before I tried to get some sleep with much difficulty due to the heat and jet lag. Yesterday we hung out for a couple of hours and I introduced Carmy to the delights of the great British Game Top Trumps which she managed to thrash me at :)
Last night we went to the beach and I got introduced to Carmy's friend Rachel who I know a tiny bit about and have spoken to breifly in the past, but it was nice to get to meet her properly.
Today I got a full nights sleep, but I got up early, because I read the time wrong on my phone, and I know we have to be up to get to Australia Zoo at some point, where I'm hoping NOT to run into Steve Irwin!
So, yeah, Carmy and her family are just utterly fantastic and I love them loads. :)
