Planes, explosions and rainbow ice cream

---

G'day folks!
So, I've finally arrived! The flight was relatively painless. I managed to sleep enough, listen to "greatest number one hits of 1996"...including everyone's favourite...mr blobby! (Argh!), eat and watch the little mermaid! It was all good! I arrived at about 3am...so went to bed at 4am and woke up thinking "TURN THE HEATING OFF!" but it was actually sunshine shining through my window....then the reality kicked in..."wooohooo sunshine...im in australia!" I could have slept all day but decided to get up!
Plugged in my adaptor and there was a huge green spark! Hmmm!!!

Basically just toddled around with my cousin today...met a couple of her friends, they seem fun...and very australian! :P
Went to a shopping mall type thing to get some 'sunnies' (im already talking the talk! :P) and a new sim card- don't try to ring me, i have a different number! Oh and of course a new plug!grrr!

The most exciting thing about today was RAINBOW ICE CREAM! my god! its like every child's dream! If i see some more...I will take a picture! It's like pink, blue, white, yellow! so pretty! amazing!

Just had a 'baabie' (bbq)....delicious steak...i mean like...actually tasty! and even better sausages! yum yum yum!

Well, It's 7pm, this is laura down under...in a completely but surprisingly un-jetlagged state...from sunny sunny australia! 😊

Bye bye! x

From the title I was fully expecting that your plane had blew up. But then how would your blog get wrote?

melting in oz
glad you have survived your first day in oz. Hope you are using the mozzie repelent on your pink English skin.Did you enjoy the day out with auntie Jeffie? Bet you were a right pair of poms. Dad back from helicopter jaunt and standing over me reading about your adventures. He'll be a proper candidate for your school before he hears from you again! You will be really jealous of our 80 mile gails due tomorrow. Better tie the hatches down now . tarra for now.
