After a marathon 26-hour journey from Paro, via Calcutta, Bangkok and Sydney, to Melbourne, we caught the airport bus into Melbourne to meet up with our friend Chris who has a lovely flat in St Kilda, a buzzing district which proved a massive culture shock after Bhutan!

It was great to see you Chris and hope everything sorts itself out. Keep in touch.

We ate some fantastic food, beer and wine in the local restaurants (though somewhat more expensive than we'd been used to). Maggi also got in some retail therapy by buying some jewellery at a small market on the seafront.

On the last evening we joined a friend of Chris' celebrating her birthday with a few of her friends and went to a chilled music venue where 4 female singer songwriters were performing. A very nice change for us and very enjoyable.
