Arrived!

I have now arrived in Melbourne, Australia. The trip lasted for 21 hrs, but felt much shorter. Probably because I was in an ecstatic state during the trip, and I still am. Just one switch, in Doha in Qatar. That was the shortest time I have ever been in a terminal. When I entered there was a massive queue, and only 30 minutes until takeoff. To the far left there was a "quick transfer" lane, where some people were allowed to walk, and bypass the entire queue. Well, I moved towards that lane, and behold, I was also allowed in. 5 minutes later I had passed the gate! Wow!
I arrived at 22pm, which is 12am Swedish time. And yes, they have summertime here!

Tonight I slept at a Ciloms Airport Lodge, a hotel close to the Tullamarine airport in Melbourne. Today I will transfer to a more central hotel, and spend two days in Melbourne. I have a list of interesting things to do here (besides sleeping, I am quite jetlagged), but have not yet decided, and I will not tell you. Yet...

The picture is the sunset seen from the aircraft window, about an hour before landing.
