We are on Tuesday nite .... you a on Tuesday morning....

"To reach a port we must sail, sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it. But we must not drift at anchor! ... OLIVER WENDELL HOILMES

Well, after $200.00 dollars in extra tariffs with Jetstar we mad it o Melborne. JETSTAR is a rip-off and w Were angered with the charges they put on our luggage. But we made it to Melborne. e arrived at about 330 pm and began to plan our trip on the tramway dinner. We stopped downstairs for a quick drink and to ask directions and then went to t the tramway. Well...... I got on the tam but Justine did not....... after about 30 minutes I was able to make my way back o collins street to pick up justine and w both mad our way to the Melborne Tram dinner at 5:45. It was awesome Justine had the chicken and I ha the steak and we hared the portions between each other! We traveled he city and took pictures to return home with. This country is years behind in the internet so it is hard for me to download photos of our travels... They are s concerned with viruses that they close t desktops to only internet access. Sorry, but when I find a open unit as I did in Sydney... I'll send more picture.
ell. later. leaving our hotel inquired of the tram driver as to what station I was t get off..... and he closed the door and took me but left Justine behind. I waited for her t join me but she didn't..... s I went back up the street and found her and we went on to dinner in the train. Had an excellent time... we'll send pictures and w r safe! All is well. lOVE YOU ALL AND WE WILL MADE MORE ENTRIES A S POSSIBLE WTH BETTER CONNECTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!
