Went to Melbourne for the long weekend. This trip was for a 30th birthday party at Yarra Valley wine country that seemed more like a 21st. Crazy bus behavior, vomiting, nudie runs, bar evictions and hospital visits ensued. The rest of the trip was pretty calm, dinners, drinking and shopping!
Well, until a volcano erupted and threw our return trip home plans all out of whack. Our Monday am flight was canceled, and as we watched news of Adelaide cancellations on Monday night, we decided the best course of action was to drive the 9 hours back to Adelaide in a $400/day rental. In the end, our rebooked Wednesday flight did end up flying, but over 60,000 others were effected by volcanic ash in the air that threatens to cause engine failure. Interestingly enough, Virgin flights still flew at a suspicious lower altitude that "isn't effected." Why can't other planes fly at this altitude? Too cheap to fight the wind resistance? See photos of the ash circling the globe taken from space here.
Hey how cool is it that Crocodile Dundy drove our bus?
Your pics are awesome. But, sorry to say Crocodile Dundy < Bob Saget.
