My Trip.........The Conclusion
And now for the exciting conlusion of my story, read on.......
There is one more thing I would say about Marysville. The people there are very friendly and welcoming, including the business owners. My favourite restaurant in the town would be a place called In Neutral. It is sort of a biker-come-American-roadhouse style of restaurant with a fireplace in each section of the place. I spent the majority of my time in the restaurant in the back lounge, the only part of the place where smoking is allowed. This is because they don’t usually serve food in there. I was lucky in that I made such a good impression on the owner of the place that she allowed me to eat in there, as there was no-one else in that area. I went to In Neutral twice, on the Thursday night and on the Saturday night. I spent the Thursday night chatting and playing pool with the owner and on the Saturday night I did the same, only her boyfriend was in Marysville for the weekend, so he joined us when he wasn’t tending the bar.
I caught the coach back to Melbourne on Monday July 19th, leaving Marysville at 9:45am and arriving in Melbourne at 1pm. From the coach terminal, I went straight to the hotel I always stay in when I am in Melbourne. I spent that day relaxing in my hotel room and in the hotel restaurant that night I met a lovely woman whose name is Corralie. She was staying in the room two doors down from mine and was in Melbourne from the Gold coast, about an hour and a half from where I live. She was there because her son Sean was there from Darwin to see a heart specialist about surgery. We joined up to explore Melbourne together when she and Sean weren’t at the hospital. On Wednesday July 21st, I decided to go clubbing. The first club was called the Star hotel, which was supposed to be a gay club, but mixed sexes. From the time I arrived (around 9:30 pm) to the time I left (around 11pm) to go to another hotel, I was the only female in the place.
While at the Star, I encountered a bi-guy who tried to chat me up. He took it well when I told him that I wasn’t interested in meeting a man, and was content just to party with me while I was there and even helped me to find another club to go to. From the Star, I went to a club called The Peel where I had an absolute blast. Unfortunately for me, almost all the women there were straight. It seemed as though it was a gay guys bring a straight female friend night. It was so much like that, that one gay guy sat next to me and asked me which gay guy I was there with. He seemed rather surprised when I told him that I was alone.
On Thursday July 22nd I went to a club called the Market. It was also a gay club which was mixed sexes, but just my luck, I got a straight guy who made a beeline straight for me and wouldn’t leave me alone. I didn’t mind chatting to him at first, and I thought it was strange that a straight guy would be in a gay club until he told me that he enjoyed watching the drag queen shows. But as soon as he saw my wedding rings, he decided that I had to be looking for a gay to sleep with and wouldn’t believe me when I told him otherwise. I have a husband who has no problem if I get a girlfriend, but I have no desire to sleep with a man other than my husband, but this guy didn’t believe me and was convinced that if he stayed close to me that he would be going home with me. I wound up going to the ladies room and sneaking out of the club as soon as his back was turned, just to get away from him.
I was going to go clubbing on my last night in Melbourne, but by the end of the day’s sightseeing, I was too tired so I had a relaxing night in my hotel room. Corralie had caught her flight back to the gold coast earlier that day and Sean had caught his flight to Darwin a couple of hours later. They both had arrangements to make for the time that they would be back in Melbourne for Sean’s surgery. On Saturday July 24th, I checked out of my hotel room at midday and caught a taxi to the train station to book my luggage through to Brisbane, and to put my overnight gear that I was taking onto the train with me into a storage locker for the day. I spent the day wandering around seeing the sights that I hadn’t yet seen before heading back to the station to catch my train to Sydney, which was due to depart Melbourne at 7:45 pm but was an hour late due to the late arrival of the train from Sydney.
I arrived in Sydney at 7:30 am Sunday July 25th and spent the day on and off the Sydney city sights tour bus. On the bus I met a lovely girl from Germany called Alexandra who was also travelling on her own. She was in Sydney on Business and was due to fly home to Germany on Monday July 26th. She had completed her business and had decided to spend her last day in Australia seeing the sights in Sydney. So we decided that as it is more fun sightseeing with someone than alone, that we would spend the day together. When we got to the point that I had to head back to the station so that I would be there in time for my train, she came with me and sat with me at the bar that I had sat at on my previous day in Sydney until the next bus would come along for her to catch. I saw her onto the bus and then headed to my train.
My train left Sydney at 4:25pm Sunday July 25th and was due to arrive in Brisbane at 6:30 am on Monday July 26th but due to an incident at Taree, the train was delayed for over an hour and arrived in Brisbane at 7:45am Monday July 26th. I collected my checked luggage and made my way to the nearest taxi rank to find a taxi home. I arrived at my home at 9am. The first thing I did after getting all of my gear upstairs and inside the front door, was to wake my darling husband to let him know that I was finally home and to have my first hug in two weeks. I spent a lot of time that day and for the rest of the week when he wasn’t at work, catching up on all the missed hugs.
So that was my trip, I hope that you have enjoyed the story. I will be making a proper post once I have posted this and read all the posts that I have missed while I was away.
Take care of yourselves and your loved ones, tell them now how you feel about them because later may be too late.
Peace to you and yours.
