Arrived in Melbourne

I arrived here about 2 days ago.
On Tuesday night i got about 1 hour sleep, it was a little hard as the next day i was pretty exhausted. But, i wanted to make sure that everything was done before i left. So me mum and josh got to the airport at about 5:00 and check in was at about 6:am. But i was way early, its so cool you can check in at a computer now i was like.. and this is all you do and now i can go hahaha..
We then went and had something from mc donalds and that was nice. Before i new it mum needed to go and so me and josh went on the vibrating chairs. Trust me it wasnt easy to get him to do it.. hes like awww this is so embarrassing hahha... and im like do it!
And it was honestly the strangest feeling in the world :)

But then Josh had to go so i gave them both a hug and then i walked upstairs where i filled out my forms to board the plane.
I talked to this lovely man, he has just started reading a book called the shack.
Hes reading it because his father and law just passed away and he wanted him to read it. And i let him know that its an amazing book!

We chatted for a bit, and i finally got my form right after filling it out like 5 times hahaha..
I went through the gates and looked at all the beautiful places... oh the joy of having money.
But not being able to spend it haha :)

I sat down for a while and then before i new it i had to board.
So off i went, entered the plane and i got to have a window seat! YAY!!
hahaha...
it was so awesome.
So i looked over the whole of auckland it was so beautiful! :)
When we got into the air properly it was so beautiful, it was sunny the whole flight, and i loved the fact that the clouds looked like massive bundles of cotton wool, hehe
i just wanted to grab it and brake the window open hahah..

There were so many movies i could watch but i couldnt really get into it, all i wanted to do was look at the clouds haha.. i eventually went to sleep for about an hour, which was lovely.

Before i no it we landed and i couldnt believe how much land there was that we flew over it was insane!
It took forever to get out of the airport , and its so small with like nothing there at all haha...
and the escalater had broken and i was hungry so i couldnt get upstairs, but they finally worked it :)
went up and it was all so expensive so i came bck down, brought a sim card and txted jan and told her that i had arrived.
I then decided to walk over to the bus bay and i caught a sky bus. I sat next to this lovely man that helped me to get on the right train, (i cant believe how friendly people are and how much they want to help me!! its insane!)

I then caught a train from the city to place called ringwood where im stayin. And the name of the train was called lilydale and im like lol, thats a cute as name for a town! :D

I met this guy and his name is Tom, he was so friendly it was awesome.
It took about an hour to get back from the city. When i got their Jan was there waiting to pick me up.
It was amazing!
I then got home at about 1pm. I went to the main shopping centre in my home town and its massive. Its called eastland, i must say i got lost yesterday hhahh... was so funny!!
But hve been getting quite lost in general which has been hillarious.!!
but everybody helps me so its all good!
havent felt lonely at all and made my first friends today at this place im going to be working at called the vox company. They work for Victoria electricity and they offer cheap as rates for electricity and gas so it was awesome. the culture there very party party, very social and chatty, fun and awesome loved it!
