Leaving On a Jet Plane

---

Caught Sky Bus outside appartment which whisked us off to the Melbourne domestic flights terminal in half an hour. The C.O. always likes to be early, so we waited and then waited some more at the terminal for our gate number on the departures display screen. The domestic terminal at Melbourne is quite well appointed but a comfortable seat is a bit tricky to find. We eventually got to our departure gate and hallelujah! Jet Star have lived up to their name and provided a jet aircraft for our short trip which avoided a propeller phobia meltdown. Flight was smooth and lasted about 50 mins and we arrived in Adelaide a bit early.

It is hot! About 35 degrees C so we noticed it. We were grateful for the air conditioning in the taxi and our hotel. The forecast is for 38 degrees tomorrow. Thought you might like to hear about our discomfort as you luxuriate in your temperatures in the U.K.

Can't believe that the time difference between Melbourne and Adelaide is 30 mins. I only thought time differences were in complete hours but, like a lot of things, I am mistaken. Hardly seems worth bothering about, but the Ausies obviously disagree.

Sightseeing day tomorrow.
