Our trip to Adelaide & Melbourne is to celebrate our 40th year together ( Glen deserves a medal for sure ),the Queen has been notified! of England that is.
We will fly to Adelaide on the 29th of April where we will stay for four days with our oldest friends Allen & Dermott at there lovely home in the hills just outside of the city.
I have know Allen for more than 40 years, I met him when I was about 19 when I stayed at his brilliant old 1920's flat in Kings Cross for a while.(apartments weren't called apartments in those days they were all flats)It had one of those fabulous old lifts like a cage with incredibly heavy noisy steel folding doors. It made a terrible noise. It was a bit like the one in Suddenly Last Summer.
We stay in Adelaide from the 29th April until the 1st of May when we hire a car to drive over to Melbourne. We plan to take four days to get there and will stay in towns along the way, taking the Great Ocean Road for some of the trip stopping off where we feel like it.
We now have a map, it might come in handy. People say this drive is one of the most beautiful, so we really look forward to that.
We drop the car off on Friday 7th of May in Melbourne and stay here for four nights then we fly home.I don't know anything about Melbourne but we are staying in Docklands.
We will visit Glen's nephew, Anthony and his other half Hayden and hope for a guided tour. Maybe we can do restaurants. That weight we lost ? well forget it !!!!
Should be fun I hope, and we are hoping the rest of our lives will be fun !!!
It seems at present our lives are quite idyllic now that Glen has retired.
