We have returned from a brief visit to Melbourne. We stayed in the Melbourne CBD and had two free days to explore the Melbourne downtown. We like the Melbourne CBD, the trams are convenient transport, it has interesting architecture, endless choice of inexpensive places to eat, etc. It was rather cold and windy though. On the last day we drove a hire car to a conference centre (Lyrebird Park at a country location near Melbourne) where Pioneers (mission agency) was holding an orientation week, and we had a meeting with Christine Perkins, our area leader in Africa who was visiting Australia for the conference. Christine is mainly based in Sudan which is next door to Uganda and has had over 20 years of experience in Africa, mostly in the area of education. We had a great chat and got to know each other a bit. We got lost on several occasions driving back to Melbourne airport to catch our return flight - we only managed to catch the plane because it turned out the flight was delayed by 45 minutes!
