We are now in Geelong, a cute little country town about an hour and a half outside of Melbourne. Yesterday, we left Andrea and Peter’s house in the morning, and using our new GPS, Gavin and Ian dropped Mum and I off at the Australian tennis open. (Gavin and Mum finally relented and bought the GPS after it took us an extra hour and a half to get to Andrea’s house). Gavin and Ian drove out to Geelong, while Mum and I enjoyed watching Tennis. We had tickets to the Rod Laver court. In the morning, we saw Maria Sharapova defeat Tanasugarn (sorry if I mispelt it), and then we watched Caroline Wozniacki defeat Gisele Dulcko. We left in the middle of that match to go and get some lunch. While we were eating, we walked into an outside court and watched a couple of men’s singles play. After Caroline Wozniacki won, Roger Federer played Lucas Lacko (pronounced Lascko). Boy, was that cool to see. Roger Federer won of course, but one of the amazing things is that their serves were going almost 200 kilometers an hour. That’s way faster than I have ever driven! That evening, we caught a tram down to Southern Cross Station and took a train to Geelong. It was great. Mum made a new friend and we got some pretty good tips about where to find koalas and stuff. Everyone we have met has been so nice to us. I’m sure if I were a visiting Australian to Canada, everyone would be pretty nice to me, but still. Here are some videos and photos of what we saw while at the Melbourne open!Even though I’m having tons of fun, I still miss you guys.
Love,
Ali
I hope you have never driven faster than 200kmh!
