Day 47

I should have started this blog when I arrived here in Australia ...
I will post a blog daily from now on and try and fill the gap of the past 47 days ...

I arrived in Perth on 11 August ... it was raining and it was raining inside of me as well.  We left the airport and checked in to the Hilton in Perth.
Roaming on my MTN phone was not working so I could not speak to my husband ... at least he could call me on Chantel's phone.
Thursday I went ot Telstra and took out a new contract so I could speak to my loved ones ...

Friday we were in the Perth office and we toot the ferry to the office - so cool ...

The weekend we spent in Perth with Mary... going to King's park was awesome and I was surprsed about how clean and safe it was and it was great to watch all the families playing on the grass and just seemed so relaxed and safe...



On Sunday we went to Fremantle with the ferry again ...


We arrived in Bunbury on Sunday 15 August ....

Leaving SA




Saying good bye at the airport was the hardest thing I had ever done in my life (except for saying good bye to my Dad on his death bed) ... There are so much emotion hidden behind those smiles ...
When I accepted the offer to go to Australia I was only thinking of the great opportunity to get out of SA and to build a life for my family. I was not thinking of how difficult it was going to be to say good bye to the ones I love... I was not thinking of how it would feel when I my heart got ripped out as I walked through the boarding gates ... I left behind a part of myself ...
I must just stay focussed on the end goal and the reasons for doing this ...
