Great day in Melbourne and the surrounding area. John showed us more sights, more beaches, and some fantastic views.



We were so lucky with the weather, as Martin said yesterday we escaped from the West Coast of the South Island just in time. They had an awful lot of rain, that closed roads, schools and generally caused chaos. I just hope as we depart tomorrow we don’t inflict the same fate on poor John, although he does say he doesn’t mind the rain!



So an early start tomorrow folks (5am) for the seven hour flight from Melbourne to Singapore. Sleep well, many thanks to John for his amazing hospitality and spending so much time with us. And many thanks to all of you for reading.

Love that photo of you both. I expect you can’t believe that the trip you planned for so long is nearly over. How quickly time flies when you are enjoying yourself! Still, great memories. Sandra
Yes, how true. How we pick the best of the photos for the book, I have no idea. Back in harness Sunday evening. Listen to the show if you are really bored at http://www.radiofrimleypark.co.uk and push the ‘listen now’ button, between 5 and 8pm. So long and look out Singapore, I’ve got my drinking hat on!

Thanks Jos. In Melbourne airport lounge, waiting for the flight to Singapore. The traffic getting here this morning was like the Hammersmith flyover and M25 all rolled into one! Was hoping for a more gentle re introduction to cars and traffic lights, after spending 5 weeks saying, “oh, look, there’s another car!” But alas not to be. I am not driving in Singapore thank goodness. Now where did I leave that G & T!! Malcolm
Well travelled you two. Its been good following you around, some sites and events have been very familiar to us. It revived some wonderful family memories of happy times finding our way through a grand landscape.
Bon voyage home and a good rest!

But was it the same pianist on the ship? And so glad you enjoyed it.
