Day 2 November 01 - Catching up with the family

We had a much needed and well deserved slow start to the day.

We eventually ambled off to the outlet shopping mall to find a shirt for John and some comfortable shoes for Erin.  The first part was easy; the second part not so. The only flat shoes we found had paper-thin soles.  So, off to Eastland Shopping Centre we went – and successfully accomplished our mission.

Back at Ringwood we enjoyed a scrumptious lunch and then all had an attempt at an afternoon nap.  Tonight’s flight leaves at 1.25am, so we were expecting to feel a bit droopy by then.

After naps, we headed off to Ascot Vale for dinner with the family (13 of us!).  It was great to catch up with everyone and we all ate more than was good for us.  (Or I could possibly be just speaking for myself).

Lindsay and Gus then dropped us off at the airport where we went through all the tedious procedures.  We’re now sitting with giant cups of tea waiting for our boarding call.  Getting closer!
