A long day travelling yesterday, Changai Airport for 8.00am then on to Melbourne and didn't reach our hotel until gone 11.00pm local time.
Changai is an amazing airport, so modern with large floral displays as well as a butterfly house where you can wander around and see native butterflies flying and feeding.
Check in is all done by machine, which is fine when it works!
A good flight, we were upstairs on a new Airbus A380 and we arrived slightly ahead of time, however the baggage seemed to take an age to arrive, then we were pulled over by immigration. They are very strict, its rather difficult not to tick the box asking if you have been near water in the last couple of weeks when you live in the Cotswold water park and had been sailing, still we got through.
We were a bit confused when we emerged and could not see a taxi driver holding a board with our names but then Tim appeared. He had driven down at the weekend to surprise us. Tim drove us to our hotel, he has to work in the Melbourne Office for the next couple of days so we will not be seeing him again until Friday, but it was a lovely surprise.

Today we are feeling rather Jet lagged, we walked into St Kilda (a district of Melbourne) to get breakfast, then this afternoon we have walked along part of the shore of Port Phillip Bay though it has been very windy with sand blowing into you eyes. In the distance we could see the towers from the city centre.
