I am not ready to leave Indonesia; I am not ready to leave Asia. I
am not excited about Australia.
Luckily for me, I have been invited to stay with a friend of my
parents. Alison, knew my parents from their days in Sheffield, when they were
all in their twenties. Alison is Australian but spend a few years living in
England and when my parents mentioned to her that I would be visiting Australia
she very kindly invited me to stay with her and her husband Robin. And so for
the next week they thoroughly spoil me and after months of guest houses and
hostels it is such a luxury to be staying in somebody’s home. For the first few
days we are at the family’s holiday home in Torquay at the start of the Great
Ocean Road, and then it is back to Mentone in the suburbs of Melbourne. I have
a really wonderful week with them.
