The first day

 

When we arrived to the airport in Melbourne (at 8.45 PM) we were extremely nervous to meet "family Brown", but also very exited. Everything felt better when we saw the welcoming sign that Magnus and Freya had made for us (check out pictures). The drive to our "new home" took 45 minutes and we drove from north of Melbourne to the south-east. The distance from the home to the city is 20 km by car.

We get to sleep in Freya's bedroom and she and Magnus share Magnus' room. After such a long flight we both were in need of a shower and then we tried to sleep again (but of course we needed to talk through some things first...).

 

Sunday 

14.06.2015

 

Today we woke up 8.10 AM, because we wanted to go watch Magnus' soccer match. Breakfast today: Aussie Pancakes!!! Then soccer. We were a little bit worried that the team would lose, because we did not know if Magnus was a "bra eller dålig förlorare". But we did not need to worry, because they won 9-0 and Magnus scored 2 goals.

After the match we test drove our bikes to a great playground. We can take a picture of it later, because you have to see it.

Then it was lunch time. Scrambled eggs and toast. We also tried vegemite. Elin does still not like it, but Matilda thought it was okay.

Later on, after Sam had dropped Gareth off at the airport on his way to Europe, we went out running. Magnus and Freya showed us their school and then we ran along the bay. It was really beautiful and we could actually get a sight of the city.

Before dinner we drove to a Supermarket to buy ingredients for tomorrows dinner ("Köttbullar med potatismos, sås och lingon"). All over the Supermarket we could find chocolate or other lollies.

Dinner today was Egg and Bacon pie with mashed potatoes and vegetables. Dessert was Apple Crumble with custard and lollies.

 

Goodnight!
