A day at The Overland

(Melbourne, Australia, 27th of February 2017)

This morning we had booked tickets on a train to Melbourne which would depart 7.45 in the morning. Then as we had to check in bicycles and luggage we needed to be at the station an hour before, which meant we had to ride away from home at six o’clock in the morning.

The train from Adelaide to Melbourne is called the Overland and is a train that sounds very fancy but actually is just an ordinary train that has got a nice name. It passes through the Australian landscape with cows, trees, fields, hills and the occasional kangaroo. Sure, there were some pretty nice views along the way but really nothing that is neither fantastic or amazing.

During the train ride, we amused ourselves by reading, playing games, writing diary and eat our packed lunch.

The train journey took 10 hours and we must admit that we were quite ready to get off the train as the train arrived at the station in Melbourne.
