We Made It!

Another one I wrote earlier... This was written on Boxing Day.

We're here in Melbourne, at last. We picked up our hire car at the airport – a Holden Commodore station wagon with such a capacious luggage area that we didn't even need to stack up the suitcases in the back to fit them all in – and drove out to our accommodation. We've booked in to The Guesthouse, and it's lovely; a nice big old house with wonderful high ceilings and décor to match the character of the house. The only down side is that we don't have any internet access here, so I won't actually get to post this until I can get wireless access at the yacht club, which might take a while to get organised.

When we got off the plane we found a text from one of the other people with a boat in our container to tell us that the container had arrived safely and she'd checked that it was all OK – the only slight problem was that getting to the container required climbing through a hole in the fence next to the Police Station. Hopefully we'll come up with a more respectable arrangement once the yacht club opens up tomorrow...
