Jet lagged

It's late at night, very early morning of the fourth day. I'm wide awake. I've been fast asleep all afternoon and yawning most of the evening until around 12 when my sun came up and the sleep went away. I think I'm slightly lagged, and obviously not used to it!

Much has happened: we had a wonderful flight to Dubai, and then to Perth, and landed exactly on time at 2:25 on Thursday morning (thank you, Emirates!). Arno (who works with me) picked us up at the airport, and took us to their place where we slept a few hours, had breakfast whereafter we went to the Intelligent Life offices. We got a car and gps and checked in at the rental house where we're staying currently. We slept some more!

Friday morning was bank morning, opening accounts, whereafter we went driving around and did some shopping (needless to say that we ended up at the opposite side of the city buying a few things at a shop we discovered later was also around the block from us - 'was a good trip, though!) At around 20:30 we went to the beach to take a last minute sunset photo and to feel the water! (...whereafter we got home in time for the last few overs of that super game!!)

Today we spent some time looking around for possible rental areas, as well as maybe a vehicle. We're still undecided about both. Tonight we went for a barbie at Arno and Mariet's - we had prawn kebabs and steak with cheese sauce and green figs .... mmmmwah! We also met Clint and Jackie - they're from Durban. (Arno and Mariet are also from SA.)

I'll post some photos later. Even though it's all very exciting and grand in its newness, we miss our family and friends very much! The scribblings on our wall and quick skype sessions really mean a lot - thanks, guys!
