The beginning of the epic journey. The plane flight to Melbourne was fairly uneventful - the movie was "How to lose friends and alienate people" which was diverting enough but I probably wouldn't bother to watch it again. I arrived in Melbourne to the text message "Welcome to melbourne from the M. A. D! (melbourne awesomeness division). Please call [number withheld] to summons your personal driver", which is apparently how Chris and Amanda greet all their guests. I was subsequently collected from the airport by both Chris and Amanda, and we stopped by DFO on the way home so I could go boot hunting (unsuccessfully).Once we arrived back at the apartment, I presented Chris with his (only a day late!) birthday present from myself and the other brothers: a pair of remote control inflatable sumo wrestlers. After Chris went to the store on a quest for 9V batteries (and miscellaneous other things) we were able to begin battle. Chris is an expert at how to have fun, and we soon discovered that rather than just bashing the sumos into each other, you can also have a really good time by racing them down the hallway. Sadly for Captain Flash, his lack of opposable thumbs meant he could only watch the action. After dinner we played bomberman on the xbox (I'm not very good), and then finally off to bed after a long day.
