Day +2245 : Melbourne Retreat - Rev. Lau's Bungalow

I am fine today.

We reached the airport about 8:30pm yesterday. Both the baggage drop-off counter and immigration counter were clear, so we managed to get to the boarding hall without much waiting.

The flight was slightly delayed, departing at about 11:05pm. It was an 7 hours 40 minutes flight that covered a distance of 6500km with a speed of 850km/h. There is time different of 2 hours between Melbourne and KL, so the arrival was about 8:30am Melbourne time.

It was the end of the Winter in Melbourne. The weather was reported to be 9 to 16 Celsius. It was really cold to us especially when the wind blew.

Rev. Lau and Mrs. Rev. Lau picked up us in the airport. The immigration officer asked me what places would I visit in Melbourne in an attempt to find out if I am really having holiday here. I didn't have an good answer as I really didn't know anything about this. We relied on Rev. Lau completely. So I told the officer frankly that I have no plan but Rev. Lau must have one, and this answer seemed to be good as no further questions were asked :-)

The journey from the airport to their house at Dendenong took about one hour. We will be staying at their house for the rest of our days in Melbourne.

Expensive mineral water in inside the departure hall 

But we find one drinking water that cost only RM1.50 :-)

Checking the price of Ferrero Rocher - 30 pieces cost RM44.90

Boarding - Airbus A330
