Last week we had a fleeting visit back to Melbourne for five days for Tim & Sarah's wedding. We crammed in as much as we could into the five days and loved every minute of it. Fatigue and jet lag turned into the new 'normal' and certainly didn't slow us down.
We had a great time at the wedding. It was a lovely setting in Tim & Sarah's backyard and Maz did a wonderful job (again) with decorations and flowers. Who would have thought it would be possible to have a golf & touch of pink theme and still make it look classy!
It seemed like a novelty to be able to walk the streets of Melbourne at night without hesitation, and we enjoyed visiting all of the shopping strips lining the roads of High Street, Chapel Street and Glenferrie Road. No surprise that Jen thrived on the shopping. Ahh... to have so much choice and not get colour blinded when entering the stores from the hideous coloured patterns. Oh, and the coffee.... so nice to be able to get a good coffee.... and everytime!
As much as we loved our time in Australia, when we boarded the plane to return to South Africa, it did feel as though we were returning home. Well at least home for now. There is still so much of Africa that we can't wait to see and explore.
