Last day in Melbourne


Our last day in Melbourne

Sunday 5th June 05.
After we checked out of our hotel in South Yarra we had about 2 hrs to kill so I dragged the boys along to the beautiful Botanic Gardens, which were less than 2 klms from our hotel. I couldn't help remembering our family visits to the gardens as a child. Our step-father was an avid gardener and couldn't resist collecting cuttings, causing me to cringe and try to make myself invisible!
As we were leaving the gardens MDR realised he didn't have his glasses. After we all had a turn searching the damn car and all the luggage he rang the hotel, they checked the room and luckily for him he'd left them in the room. We drove back and picked them up and still got to the airport with plenty of time to spare. I was also the lucky recipient of MDR's wonderful backseat driving "assistance" on the way to the airport, as if Cherie wasn't good enough! Flying home direct on Jetstar was excellent, we scored front row seats and got to visit the Tullamarine Qantas Club lounge before we left. Mumsy xxx

Tell Marc, he should have the operation on his eyes and be liberated. I can see the counter clock on the dvd from the other side of the room now. So it was the agony.
