A few days ago we got up at 5:00 am to get ready so we could get on a train to Melbourne!
We got on the train at 7:33 am and we were off, in First Class Daytime Sleeper!
STORY TIME... It all started on a Thursday, we were walking back from the Sydney Opera House
We booked the tickets for the train, so they sent my Mum an e-mail letting us know what seats we were allocated.
Mum: Seat 46
Daddy: Seat 43
Me: Seat 25
Jera: Seat 19
Crazy right!
Back to the call... so the ticketing agent called us, (we called him before), and my Mum asked if we could change seats.
He said, "It's a really a very full train"
My mum said, "We have kids, who wanna be near us"
He said he would look into it. After he checked, he answered, "I know you wanted to be with your kids so there are some spare seats in the Sleeper First Class!"
So that's how me got THE BEST SEATS ON THE WHOLE TRAIN!
Next day, we got up at 5am to be ready to leave on the train. Our journey was from Sydney to Melbourne and it would be 10 1/2 hours. Although it was supposed to be only 10 and1/2, it actually took 12 hours!
On the train there was a Buffet Carriage, so Jera and I got lollies (candy) and Australian pies. Yum!
We also played Uno and looked out the window a lot :) We stopped at 20 stations along the way and a few times the train even had to stop for horses on the tracks.
When we arrived in Melbourne,we got a taxi and got our NANA AND POPS!

As I explained we haven't seen them in 3 YEARS!
Now I'm enjoying my morning with my Nana and Pop :)
It's full of hugs :)
