Well... It was a very long flight, the first half up to Singapore was ok as it was time to sleep and that was exactly what we did (as best you can in a seated position). There was a short stopover in Singapore, only an hour ish. The next section of the flight was a bit harder, the seats felt less comfortable even though they were the same ones (muscles started to cramp and ache), we should have slept again but the ol' body clock was saying it was time to get up and awake (so many films were watched).
The flight was 20 hours ish, so having left the UK 10pm Sunday and taking into account the time difference, we arrived in Australia, Melbourne at 7am their time. The weather was hot, hot, hot and reached 34 degrees.
We found our hotel, but there were no rooms ready. So we left our luggage and ventured out into the city. We decided on a drink to start, only orange juice *vitamins and minerals* to keep us healthy (this is a joke as you will find out). Decided to find the tourist information and pick their brains and leaflets/maps. Found out about the free bus and tram tours around the city, these were popular with andy and myself as it involved sitting down. 1 and a half hours later and we had seen all the major sights (at least I would have if I hadn't fallen asleep on the bus). At this point we decided that we would have lunch and then go back to the hotel and demand a room as neither of us was capable of doing anything else without sleep.
By 2pm we were asleep tucked up safe and sound in our hotel room. Zzzzzzzzz
