Ho Chi Minh to Sydney

At only 8 hours from Ho Chi Minh to Melbourne, the flight time didn’t leave us a long time for sleep, but we made the most of it, boarding in our jammies. 






It was pretty comfy, but not as nice as Air Canada. :)

I was still pretty full when I woke up and only ate part of my breakfast. 


Arrival in Melbourne was uneventful, apart from being selected for additional screening at immigration. We all had to stand on a wide red line with our bags in front of us, and a dog checked us all out. Not to worry, we were passed along and entered Australia for the first time. Unfortunately, our next short flight only had two business seats available, so Isabelle and I are sitting in the back. We grabbed a few snacks for the wait!


We sat next to a very pleasant Kiwi working in Sydney and had good chats on the flight about restaurants, indigenous reconciliation, travel, small country syndrome, and soccer. An easy Uber ride later, we arrived at our Airbnb next to Hyde Park in Sydney. It’s no Fairmont, but will do us nicely! We cooked a pasta dinner and are relaxing with a movie. Tomorrow, I think it will be the Taronga Zoo!

Cultural Thoughts

Turkey: Istanbul was a culturally varied, welcoming place. At restaurants, the hustle performed by the servers waiting at the street was intense. Everyone wanted your business! At our first restaurant, the server proclaimed that he loved Canada and that his girlfriend was from there, but he couldn’t name the city she was from. 😂 Other vendors played a similar game, trying to engage you in conversation. The easiest approach was to ignore them, unfortunately.  Most places tell you not to flush toilet paper, but to instead put it in a small waste bin. Smoking is MUCH more common than at home, and we are very unused to smoke at restaurants.  Lots of seagulls and hooded crows were to be seen around town.  Greece : The restaurant service flow was a little different from in North America. When we were done our main courses, we had to signal the server that we wanted the bill. They simply wouldn’t bring it until asked! Once we asked, though, we would often get a small dessert, f...

Whirlwind Melbourne

Image
After a lovely sleep (well, I woke at 5:30, but that’s just me), we headed out to explore a bit of Melbourne. Breakfast was at a tiny coffee shop and the girls loved their hot chocolate.  The cafe was in a narrow alley typical of the Melbourne CBD.  It must have been some breakfast to make a sign about it! Next up was the National Gallery of Victoria. It was free! Unfortunately everyone was tired at this point.  But Isabelle still managed to climb a tree! Poor JL.  Such a pretty city: Then it was back to the airport! We had a TON of time to kill, first at the Singapore Airlines lounge. They close in between flights, so we snuck a few minutes in the Air New Zealand lounge: Once boarded, the girls slept pretty much right away while JL and I had our preselected meals. I had a lovely barramundi.  We’ve now arrived in Singapore and are waiting to board our flight to London. This one’s a monster 13.5 hour flight! See you on the other side.

Second Day in Wellington

Image
After another lovely breakfast, we took a walk up Mount Victoria to find a couple of the Lord of the Rings filming locations: Next up was a visit to the Weta Workshop where they make special effects for lots of movies. Unfortunately, photos inside were forbidden, but it was really cool to handle actual prop swords and helmets used in the films.  Watch out, JL!!!
