My first night’s sleep in Melbourne wasn’t the greatest and I put this down to my subconscious freaking out at the thought of moving cities. But it’s a strange feeling. On the one hand, I want to be settled in and to immediately feel like I live here. But on the other hand, it’s almost like an instinctual reaction, that I feel like it’s only temporary and that I shouldn’t settle in. My ‘sleeping’ state obviously knows what’s going on more than my ‘awake’ so I’m hoping some phenergan will knock me out until they catch up to each other.
Still, I couldn’t complain on the morning I woke up here. Opening the curtains in my room I actually let our a yelp when I saw the hot air balloons in the air, floating towards the sunrise. Honestly, it was ridiculous. Apparently this is a daily ritual of Melbourne that no one even thought to tell me about because “oh yeah, that’s just standard”. (wow).
