The Train Ride Home

Today I was my last day in Melbourne. I got up at 5:30 am simply cause I couldn't sleep till 6. Got on a train at 7:30, ate breakfast with Jacqulyn and got on a train. Then a bus, and yet another bus. It amounted to something like 9 hours of transit today. Getting up in the wee hours of the morning and then spending the whole day moving across a country is exhausting. My arms are shaking as I attempt to type out this blog. But for the enjoyment of my viewers, I will persevere!!!! Hahaha :) This is a photo of me and all my luggage at the Mordiallic train station as we waited for one of the many trains I would catch that day. It's roughly 7 am. I look unbelievably happy for it being 7 am. . . I am NOT a morning person. . . :)

On the final bus, I met a lovely old lady and her grandchildren. She is originally from Germany and now lives in Melbourne. I spent the three hour bus trip talking to her and her grandkids. The one one the left (Murphy) goes to school with my host cousin Jacob. He was in my blog from Mount Gambier. Marlie is the older lady and the one the right is Micheal. They were a very nice family and it made the ride home seem shorter. It was nice, cause bus rides are LONG!!!! :

Last night was amazing. Jacqulyn and I went out to the pier and laughed out hearts out about everything and anything. I love spending time with her. I can't wiat to see her again in December. This is a photo of me eating Bananas and Nutella on the pier. It was a wonderful way to spend our last night. I loved it.
