I’m in Melbourne tonight, ready to do training here tomorrow. I flew in from Sydney this morning, a 90 minute flight, and immediately went on sales calls. I got to visit the official company office here in Australia, which was nice. I also met the rest of the team here. We’ve got very good people here, that’s for sure. They’ve got a handle on things. It doesn’t bode well for me returning any time soon. 🙂
We ate dinner at one of the many riverside restaurants. I had a decent pasta dish, served by a waiter from Green Bay, Wisconsin. It was kind of nice to hear a proper accent, really, even if it was a Midwestern one.
I didn’t get a chance to see much of the city, though I’m told it was a planned city, rather than the jumbled mess that Sydney became. Melbourne is surrounded by large parks. Beautiful parks from what I’m told. I’m hoping I can carve out enough time to visit them.
On the photography front, I took a few shots from the 767 as it flew into Melbourne, but not enough to qualify for uploading now.
My day starts early tomorrow as the certification training goes all day. I’ve been promised that tomorrow night we’ll go out to dinner at a place off the beaten path. I look forward to that.
G’day and g’night for now!
Mark,
Do you remember a British guy from my Stag Night/Wedding named Duart??? … he lives outside of Melbourne in Bangholme now … runs a horse ranch there.
