The Journey : Day 1 Darwin->Melbourne->Geelong

Singapore to Melbourne transit via Darwin at 10.30pm flight. It was kind of QH to send me to airport ( so called send me off :P ). Quickly checked in and then grab a quick ramen dinner at Terminal 1 where I'll be flying with Jetstar.

Reached Darwin around 5.30am Darwin local time...was not able to sleep much as the sit is upright and yea, you can't lower it at all! Was still half asleep while going through the customs clearance. After clearing everything, went for a quick bite at the cafe there while sipping the hot chocolate as it's freezing in the airport even though its small. Lift off around 8.15am and reached Melbourne 2pm Melbourne time. All in all it took almost 12 hours to reach Melbourne from Singapore!!! :(
My parents rented a nice Toyota and awaited me and my brother at Toumaline airport. The Toyota is known as Corolla Ascent while Malaysian knows it as Altis. It's a powerful car and really good 2 move about on OZ roads since it's Freeway connecting within cities are far and apart. We moved directly to Geelong; second largest city in Victoria. Just cruise through by the sea side and take some snap shots before going back to my sisters place.
Upon arriving her place, take a quick shower and KO!
