In Boring, Cold Launceston…

We arrived in Adelaide about 8 am in the morning. Had to wait around until nearly 3 pm in the afternoon before we could get into the room. We walked around and did some shopping and had lunch. The room was nice with a separate bedroom. Much better value for money that the Hyatt in Perth. We went to Meegan’s house and had dinner. She was a mum in Sumbawa a long time ago. It was interesting to see how her kids have grown up. They live in a stunning house close to the city. Later on met a guy called Josh who is in his final year of studying medicine. He was sweet. Next day we had a leisurely breakfast and did some more shopping. Found the white trousers I was looking for and bought five pairs of Calvin Klein underpants. Got a taxi to the airport and flew to Melbourne. From Melbourne to Launceston then picked up the rental car and drove to Mum and Dad’s. Mum sort of pretended it was a surprise. Slept in late the next morning. Launceston is so boring though. I have only been here two nights and I am ready to go back to Indonesia. Have found out that I have been allocated a single apartment and I emailed my boss and telling him that I expected Oliver to start school on the first day of term. He replied that yes he would, so that’s all organised. Ade has said he wants to come back to Sumbawa with us. Not sure how I feel about that. I am going to have to spend at least two or three nights in the apartment so he would be at Yoyo’s by himself. A friend who teaches with me wants to rent out Yoyo’s one night a week so having Ade there wouldn’t work. He said something about coming for 2 months. We’ll see. Supposed to be catching up with a friend for dinner tomorrow evening…
