The final countdown

Well sort of, it was my last working day before we go and the last one for 2022.   It was a feeling of relief switching the laptop off, but previous to this steam was coming off the keyboard. 

So 4 sleeps to go and we are off.

Day 30/31- All good things come to an end

Image
Final days of the holiday day 30 we had the morning free in Melbourne so visited the art gallery and immigration museum, very interesting place.  After grabbing lunch and a coffee it was time to leave for the airport to start the long journey home.  Flight 1  Melbourne to Singapore about 7 hours, so I watched Elvis and Maverick again.   After a three hour layover. Flight 2 began Singapore to London - 13 hours.  Managed to get some sleep but not much.  We arrived at Heathrow just after 7 am, and immediately noticed the temperature drop.   And just like that the adventure was over 😪.    Its been an amazing month with lots of memories created.   I would like to thank Lyn for the opportunity to join her on this trip.     So Monday will be back to work and saving for the next holiday.

Walhalla is an interesting place, gold was discovered here in 1862   At its peak Walhalla was home to over 3500 residents. in 1914 as the gold yields dried up it was abandoned.  Today there are 20 living  residents, with the properties that remained restored to how they would have been during the gold rush.    We had a walk up and down the one street reading all about the history,  we even braved one of the old tracks that was quite over grown.  Scared faces in case there were  any snakes.  We are staying at the star Hotel after dinner we went on a ghost walk in the pitch black and back along some of the tracks that we had been so scared of.   We also learnt alot...
