Welcome to Melbourne!

Well I made it to melbourne!

I got her at 6:00 am Melbourne time, so around 1:00 pm california time. It was a looong flight but it was good! I had a good window seat to sleep against, and all the chairs had tv's on the seats in front of them- with tons of new movies, tv shows, music, games and lots of stuff! (good thing since my computer died I would have been soo bored). Melbourne airport was confusing, especially baggage claim and going through customs I was so lost. But I made it through and got taken to our apartment place. The apartments are really nice- I have a 3 bedroom apartment with 4 other girls. We have a nice full kitchen and living area downstairs, and 3 bedrooms upstairs with 2 bathrooms. I was so lucky I got the bigger room with a bathroom in it and a nice closet.

It's so surreal that I'm here. It hasn't hit me yet that I'm halfway around the world right now. I've explored the surrounding streets a little bit. This morning me and a few other people in the program had breakfasts at a small little cafe. The ham and cheese croissants were delicious. We looked super foreign walking into it haha the waiter knew we were not from around there. It was really good though. Later a few of us had lunch at another small cafe down the street. There are a lot cafes, bars, and small boutiques near by which is nice. The weather isn't too bad here but I wish it was HOT! It was pretty chilly in the morning, but I was walking around in flip flops (whoops). It' was a little warmer this afternoon. Tomorrow we are going to tour around the city a little bit I think!

First day in Melbourne almost complete!
