arrival!

safe and sound we have arrived in melbourne, aus. flying across canada was beautiful.. and we were lucky to have a clear enough day to see the lakes of manitoba, the plains of sask, and the rockies.. and got pictures of all. a quick stop in vancouver informed us of an addition to our flight plan that was not disclosed to us that we would be making a short stop in honolulu.

we slept on the plane like it was our job and still needed more after an abbreviated first day on the ground. we'll be heading to the yarra river and central melbourne for the day today which features an art gallery (showing picasso) an aquarium and various other sights.

there are new pictures up on flickr that can be found at the link on the right side of the page.

cheers!
