Following another 10km early morning run, we filled tummies with the last of our breakfast rations, and then departed on return trip to Melbourne. With yet another BBQ planned for the evening, we stopped off at yet another vineyard, for yet more wine. During the car journey, ears were again pinned to the radio to monitor England's progress at the SCG. Australia were still batting, but were steadily loosing wickets - come on England!!! Close to Melbourne, N&N took the ring road back home, while Astrid & I continued into the town centre to drop off the rental car. Having arrived earlier than anticipated, and with the skies sunny and a cool breeze blowing, we opted to stroll through town and snap more photos. We then took the train back to Egelmont and spent rest of the afternoon glued to the TV watching the Ashes test at the SCG – an imperious start to England’s reply, with Cook and Strauss still at the wicket by stumps.
The evening BBQ with more of Nick’s friends was very pleasant, and an excellent way to end a memorable holiday. On arrival back in Singapore the following afternoon, I logged onto BBC World to discover Cook had amassed a huge score at the SCG, with England well on their way to achieving a record 1st innings total - a great achievement, and a great start to 2011!
