Touchdown In Melbourne

My flight from Adelaide got in just after 3 this afternoon but I didn't get to my hotel until almost 5!!

I caught the shuttle to Southern Cross Station and then had to wait 45 minutes for a shuttle bus to take me to my hotel. I literally tossed my suitcases in the door then headed out again - I was meeting my friend Cheryl at the Crown Casino which is on the other side of the CBD.

I managed to find the City Circle Tram (in the dark without a map!) just by chance and was standing in the pouring rain for 10 minutes before it came.

We went for dinner at the restaurant they have for Crown Casino members - she was using her mother's card as it had more points which gave us access.

We had a few quick games on the pokies before heading off home - I had to find my way again in the dark & pouring rain, but luckily Cheryl gave me good advice with regards to the trams.
