District office of the South Bank

Thursday was my last day in Melbourne. Every morning at 8 low. Up to 10 clock vacate the apartment and I need the flight is late at night. So I bring a suitcase in a locker in the Southern Cross station just around the corner. Then back to the apartment. The remaining items in the backpack. At the reception call, which is located in another district. The bill was already in the room the night before. I say this only modest, that I will be the key in the room. Then for breakfast.

Michael Schumacher

On Sunday took place in the Melbourne Formula 1 Grand Prix. The race track at Albert Park is located in the city. From my apartment I need 10 minutes by tram to this place. The Shuttle, by two central train stations starting, Flinders Street and Southern Cross are very well organized. The trains run virtually every minute and are included in admission price. Therefore, no one goes with the car out there, especially since there is no public parking near the track. I have a "General Admission" ticket purchased. This is the least expensive and allows an inside the park to move freely and to post somewhere on the track. Of course there are grandstands tickets. But the cost of the double well and it looks even more real. The entrance fee of 60 € was ok. It has not so often the opportunity to join the circus time to look up close.

Helicopter flight over the 12 Apostles

On Saturday there was finally time to get a little "country" look. In that case, I've decided a bus tour along the " Great Ocean Road to do. " It started early in the morning at 7:00. About 100 km to the start of the road. So still a little time to sleep. Not bad, since I was in the evening from Sydney back until late. Unfortunately, on this day the weather somewhat modest.

Fat Yak

Unfortunately I am not yet come to write this much. This has to do mainly with the fact that we have a lot to do. The day begins at eight and ends often before midnight. What is on the weekdays but on weekends there is not much better. However, there is every day a small bright spot. This is the afternoon "meeting". Can be put in the "New York Tavern" instead of right at the foot of the Rialto Towers. In bright sunshine a few bottles of "Fat Yak" to be taught. This gives us strength for the rest of the day.

Stay cool

Rather strange for Europeans, that the sun is at noon in the north. But if one pays no extra on it, you realize it does not. Have now completed the first week in Melbourne behind me. "Unfortunately," was the most work. The days went by until the next morning at 9 in the morning to 1 or 2, and this is as challenging as in Berlin. On Saturday and Sunday I had then but a little time to myself to look at the city.

I started on Saturday at my next "outing". About Doha to Melbourne. On the night of Sunday to Monday at midnight, I arrived here. The flight was really long, long time. 6 hours to Doha and then again to almost 14 in Melbourne. Then again 3 attempts until finally it worked with the landing. The pilot had to learn a bit longer. Naja. 3 times rather than once tried next.

Even if it rains occasionally, the weather is still a lot more fun than at present at home. After all, about 20 degrees. The locals here complain about the cold. Have once again been lucky and the first day in Australia is the same holiday time. This gives me the opportunity to look at me like the city more closely. I will write about it as soon as possible. Until then, for now. I must start times maintain the jet lag.
