The reason I flew to Melbourne was to attend a meeting for BrAshA-T Ataxia-Telangiectasia Limited. A charitable organisation founded in 2008 of which I am the Secretary.

We left from Sunshine Coast Airport and flew with Jet Star.
It was a really good flight.
A little turbulence but nothing to worry about.
We were told to catch the "green" bus as it would drop us off right outside our hotel in St Kilda.
Uh huh .......
After 15 mins trying to find the "green" bus, we line up to get a ticket.
The two guys in front paid for theirs.
I ask for .........
Before I can ask for a ticket the bus driver tells us he's just sold the last 2 tickets.
What!!!!!
Great!!!!!!
He tells us a cab will only cost about $50.
So we go to the information desk about the "red" buses but they don't go to St Kilda.
Just into Melbourne CBD.
Told a taxi cab will cost about $40-45.
Okay!
So we hoof it back to the cab rank.
Get someone who sort of looks a bit local and knows where he's going.
Stash the luggage, hop in and off we go.
OMG!!!! Cab rides really are different down there hahahahaha
My sister who I flew with.
Just a couple of ambiguous photos out of the cab window.
The cost of the taxi ......
wait for it ......
over $75
