Off to New Zealand today.
Hello.
Woke up this morning with a spider on my face. Mmm, rural Australia…
Off to see Cirque du Soleil!
Genius
Would just like to point out that my 4 year old nephew is now doing Sudoku. I am a proud uncle.True Story
Went upstairs to the lounge for some late night snacks. On the way back down in the lift, I forgot which room I was in.
Had to call the front desk but had no ID on me, so security had to meet me and walk me to my door to check I was who I said I was.
On the way we met AJ who’d figured I’d got lost and came looking for me. Nothing like hearing the security staff radio in, “Nah, his wife found him wandering the corridors. It’s okay now”.
Occupational hazard I guess (forgetting which hotel room you are in, not getting walked to your room by security!)
Ouch - Abi fell and smacked her face off the corner of the bedside table. There’s a one inch gash underneath that plaster with 3 stitches on the outside and 4 on the inside. Poor little chicken.

Gloria Jean’s = Second Cup = Costa. Can’t find a Starbucks any where in Melbourne.
And... We're Here!
So what a lot of fun we’ve had. Flights went without a glitch. In about 25 hours of traveling Abigail had a 10 minute melt down on the last flight (Sydney - Melbourne) as we were landing but apart from that she was a darling. She managed to nab about 10 hours of sleep from Vancouver to Sydney (it helped she had her own lie flat bed - thanks Air Canada!) which was more than mummy and daddy did.
We’re now in Melbourne where it is raining and reminding me of Scotland. About to change and go out and teach on evangelism. Feeling really good - not as jet lagged as last time - I think our time adjustment game of last week might pay off. Thanks for all the prayers people - we appreciate it!
Praying for upgrades. 20 hours of flying - would be nicer up front!
