I said i wouldnt travel 10000 mls for coffee i did

I'm back from Australia about a week now and finally getting around to this blog .Went to meet a wonderful person from here,Abagail,to have coffee, and had a fantastic time,saw some amazing scenery and must say totally enjoyed the weather as well.I stayed in Victoria and we visited Melbourne not long after arriving as we had promised to meet another member of cs who we had promised we would have coffee with.He was a gent and great company the time went too fast the only regret is that we didnt have a chance for another coffee but he had get back to work and we had to go .We had said we would try meet again before i went home but time went so fast but who knows we might meet again ,i havent named him but he knows who he is and i respect his privacy unless he wants to mention who he is ,so i just wanna say thanks for the coffee mate ,now back to my visit with Abagail we had a great time and i just want post some photos so enjoy some of my first sights of Melbourne

Well Simmo i must say he was good company and the time did seem too short and although one person had to leave getting time with the other person was great pity he didnt wear a hat as he could have been more easily recognised lolwave
Thanks Simmo and who knows we may meet again wave
Mike,
Yeah, that was a bit of a slip up.
Forgot all about my hat.
I'm pleased that you have gone back with so many great memories of Melbourne.
After all it has been voted "most liveable city in the world" the last 3 years.
doh
The good thing about memories,
No one can take them away from you, they may fade slightly, we may even embellish them from time to time,
But memories are ours to keep.
I'll smile fondly when i look back at our meeting.
2 guys having a good old chat and soaking up a new found friendship.
Yes mike, that's the trem tram.. Aaahh..so it does still go round and round.. thumbs up
And I think your great guy is here, isnt he? grin
Kalpataru
If you are referring to me as the un named great guy, Thank you.
But alas, i am far from great.
sigh
It would appear also Kalpataru that you yourself have graced our fair city.
How long ago was it that you were here?
Mike,
the tax man is now after me.
He didnt know that i was working for the tourist board.

I am a proud Aussie yes sir, but an even prouder Victorian/Melbournian.
And as such, when a gentleman that has travelled 10,000km to have a latte/coffee, the very least i can do is to point him in the right direction to Southern Cross station....lol laugh laugh
Mike,
Sorry, whats the chance of sharing the photo of the 3 of us.dunno
Great stuff Mike!

PENGUIN PARADE ON PHILIP ISLAND when thousands of Fairy penguins march from the sea to the beach to nest and mate

This is not my photo its from a postcard as they no longer allow photos .They had to ban them as no flash had been the requested in the past as it confused the penguins and been ignored by tourist
Abagail
I say you run off with tongue firmly planted in cheek.
As i said in person to both you and Mike,
I considered it my privilege to meet two of natures better people.
Although it was only for a short time, i have been left knowing that there are still good people here.
handshake cheers
Thank you, Simmo. blushing

I like to believe there are plenty of authentic people still around, it's just a matter of digging the bodies up.grin
